About Cherry Trees:
Cherry Trees is an eight bedded respite (short breaks) unit located in Shepley.
It provides short stays for adults with a wide range of learning disabilities and complex health needs. We provide high quality care for people who are on the autistic spectrum and can display some challenging Behaviours. We also offer support to people who have Physical and sensory disabilities.
The building has just undertaken an extensive refurbishment and fitted with brand new state of the art facilities such as a sensory room, an immersive room, sensory bathroom, and a fabulous break out room which looks out on to immaculate sensory gardens and a vegetable patch.
As a respite service we offer short stays to our service users and their family to have a break from the caring role. This means that we have different people accessing our service all the time and this can be a fast turnover. Respite not only gives people a break from their usual routine it also creates opportunities for our service users to develop new friendships, have new experiences, build their confidence, learn new skills, and take part in activities that might not be available in everyday life.
The staff team at Cherry trees are unique and dynamic who are committed to providing the best quality care possible to everyone in our care. We are flexible and creative always thinking outside the box and believe that there is nothing we cannot achieve.
