Glendun House

Glendun House is a short term supported living scheme for adults who are recovering from ill mental health.

We accommodate 14 male and female residents in private, self-contained apartments. At Glendun there is shared use of communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room and communal kitchen. Glendun residents support one another and help develop autonomy over their own lives and choices. 

• Residents should be over age of 18.
• Should have primary diagnosis of mental health difficulties.
• Should be currently engaged with a community mental health team and a community keyworker is in agreement with the application.  
• Be able to self-administer medication for at least 6 months.
• There has been a reduction in self-harming behaviors for the last 6 months.  
• Should feel that support is needed to remain out of hospital and work towards living independently in the wider community.
• Should feel that living with other people and taking part in group activities including the running of the house, would help develop independence and housing related support needs.
• Agree to use the community programme, over the course of the two years.  

• In a community-style setting, residents and staff coexist and collaborate while often getting together for group activities. Everyone in the community is welcome to talk freely about how they are feeling, including any challenges they may be having.  
• There are confidential safe spaces to do this on a one-to-one basis and in small and large groups, along with a weekly community meeting which is held within the house each week that helps learning.
• Individuals have their own flat within the facility but are required and encouraged to engage socially in communal areas.
• Our service is provided for periods up to 2 years. Length of time at Glendun varies pending individual resident’s needs and progress.
