Welcome to Shrewsbury House in Penistone, nr. Sheffield.

24 HOUR STAFFING FOR SEMI-INDEPENDENT LIVING IN A COMMUNAL HOUSE FOR YOUNG ADULTS/PARENTS AGED 16 PLUS.

Shrewsbury House provides quality affordable accommodation with high levels of support for Young Adults in the transitional stage of becoming independent, including those in the  process of leaving local authority care.

It also aims to ensure that Young Parents are not excluded from this provision, as typically services available have been with a child protection focus and not designed to meet the needs of Young Parents who need to learn skills and confidence to parent. We provide a service for Young Parents within an environment where the emphasis is on learning parenting skills, and the confidence and competence to parent independently, whilst recognising that the Young Parent has needs of their own.

Additionally, we have extensive experience of working with young adults with a learning disability with high support needs, and  have been successful in assisting them in living semi-independently and moving into independence.

Shrewsbury House is an accommodation project in which experienced social care staff will provide an intensive independence programme with each Resident to develop the skills required to live as independent, socially included citizens. Staff are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to support Residents in undertaking their independence programme and at least one member of the management team will be at work or on call at all times of the night and day.
