Boundary & Horizon House

Overview

• Registered with the CQC under Boundary House for learning disability and challenging behaviour
• Horizon House is the front building and has 10 single bedrooms of approximately 12 square metres of usable floor space, with en-suite shower, toilet and hand wash basin
• Boundary House was our first property to open in 1995 and was originally a 10 bedded unit. In 2018 and extensive renovation project commenced to convert it into six self-contained flats which opened in October 2019. Each flat is generous in size, neutrally decorated with a kitchen, open living space, bedroom and en-suite. The downstairs flats have their own individual gardens. In addition there is a communal lounge and garden.

Location

• The properties are situated in the quiet village of Felthorpe. The grounds offer ample parking and acres of land, the perfect setting for our horticultural unit, Crafts & Laughs which is where service users from all of our properties come and participate in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. In addition, during the summer months, our able service users enjoy helping to maintain the extensive gardens which offer an ideal location for a walk amongst nature and a place to relax on a warm sunny day.
