"my son loves his placement"

About: Antrim Community Hub (R House)

(as a parent/guardian),

My son is an adult with additional needs who got his placement in RHouse after having no where to go for a while . My son was delighted he finally could go somewhere during  the day to  be with adults ,to socialize,meet new friends and have a purpose in life.

He was very anxious at the beginning as new people and environments can stress him a lot . The staff at R House were so welcoming,reassuring him and happy to attend and help him with his medical needs . 

Lynn ,Sinead and Kathleen and Scott accepted my son and gave him so much encouragement and helped him overcome his difficulties. Lynn who is the manager is one in a million ,her passion and love for all service users is just incredible,not only for all the guys but their families too,I recently lost my dad and my son could not cope with everything so Lynn looked after my son so that my family and I could attend my dads  funeral without worrying about him.. My son loves his placement in R House and feels as if he is going to work ,the change in him with coping with different peoples personalities and situations continues to improve as the staff know what works for him and implement coping strategies as and when he needs it . Thankyou to all R House Staff.
