For everyone at UCS it’s very important that when young people first come to one of our homes, they settle in as quickly as possible. We understand that this move can often be a traumatic and difficult time for them, so we want to do everything we can to help them make that adjustment to a new environment.
Part of that process is making their own room within the home as welcoming and as personal to them as it can be.This week we have been joined by a young person who has a particular love for the Toy Story films and characters. We therefore decided to decorate their new room accordingly, as you can see from the pictures.
If it helps them to feel at home and that their individual likes and wishes are being taken into account then our experience tells us that the process of settling in will be that much easier for them.
