“The facilities at Riding Gardens are enhanced. It is a very friendly community and all people we support feel very welcome. The property is a new-build near to the countryside, with easy access to walks and nature reserves. The community is safe and both staff and the people here feel safe coming in and out of the property. Staff promote independence and confidence in everyone we support, offering encouragement and building on living skills. The atmosphere is very happy.” Manager, Riding Gardens
