Campania overlooks Ellenborough Park a short walk from Weston Super-Mare‘s famous seafront. The western half of this park is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) being a remnant of a sand dune grassland system supporting an important and rare community of plants. Care at Campania is offered to 37 people of at least 45 years of age who are living with alcohol related problems such as Korsakoff‘s syndrome. In exceptional circumstances we may consider persons under the age of 45 years if we can meet their assessed needs. The home is registered with the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to provide a service for people whose primary care needs on admission to the home are within the Alcohol past and present care category.
We do not provide accommodation for people who are continuing to abuse alcohol. Each person admitted to the home is carefully assessed. We aim with the resident‘s involvement to put in place a package of care and support that will enable that person to be as independent as possible. We encourage links with a resident‘s family, often lost when lives are disrupted by alcohol abuse, to be re-established. The extent to which people can recover from alcohol related brain damage is variable, but we always try to go beyond just providing a safe home and put rehabilitation at the forefront of what we try to achieve. We encourage former skills and interests to be regained and provide opportunities for new experiences to enrich the lives of our residents. |
