Our supported living services are full of activities with a busy calendar of group cooking classes, exercise, health and nutrition workshops, 1-2-1 time and occupational therapy to suit everyone’s needs and help our residents to reach their recovery goals. Here is a little insight into life at Adamson House, our supported living service located in Trafford.
Residents and team members at Adamson House decorated for Halloween, and it looks spook-tacular!
During June Adamson House went all out for Pride Month! Not only did they participate in ‘Wear It With Pride’ day where staff and residents wore something colourful. But the service hosted a coffee morning to raise money for The Proud Trust, and won our LOUD and PROUD competition as they were chosen as our best-decorated service. Everyone had a great time enjoying the buffet, music and Pride-themed quiz!
Our residents and team members at Adamson House were treated to another performance from Big Jessie! This time it was festive themed, and residents and team members alike really enjoyed the show.

James, our Business Administrator at Adamson House recently ran the Blackpool 10K for Mind. One of our residents designed some shirts for James to wear when running, and our Adamson House residents signed them in support.
James raised £182 for Mind – a big thank you to everyone for their donations and support!
Adamson House have created a “TEA-R-N” station, inspired by PRN “pro re nata” which translates to “as the situation demands”. The station provides our residents with a selection of herbal teas available for drinking based on what they need. There are teas to calm stress, improve digestion and even teas to detox the body.
The station is a soothing activity that residents like to relax and enjoy together.
Our residents from Adamson House have been busy with some pre-Easter baking! They baked some lovely chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and mini eggs.
One of our residents also personally went around to hand out a cupcake to all the residents, staff and visitors that were at the service, and the feedback received was that the cupcakes were ‘very light and fluffy’! 🍰
Two of our team members at Adamson House in Partington led a yoga session this week. Yoga is incredibly beneficial to our overall mental health and physical wellbeing.
