Our Houses
Care Afloat have a number of small community homes, which are no different
from other houses in the area. We do not simply aim to fill beds regardless of the
need of the young people, and will not place a young person in a home if it is not
in the best interests of the young person already living there.
We are firmly committed to quality, not quantity of placements. It is for this
reason that some houses will at times have only 1 young person placed in them,
even if they are registered for 2-3 young people. Where houses are shared,
young people must always have their own bedroom. However special
arrangements can be made for siblings, if appropriate.
Access to Health Assessment & Therapy through the CHHT is available to any
young person in any of the units.
La Bungalow
Our new three-bedded home is an assessment/emergency unit with a maximum
stay of six months. All young people will access our health assessment and
therapy facility. Emergency bed also available for a maximum of 7 days.
