Supporting you
Oakcroft is a home for four people with learning disabilities, autism, communication difficulties and additional needs, in the village of Four Marks in Hampshire. The men currently living at Oakcroft are all aged within their mid-forties.
An active lifestyle is very important to those living at Oakcroft. Each individual is supported to develop their own weekly activity timetable to reflect their own personal interests. This means that the activities are engaging and meaningful to each person. These full weekly timetables help to provide desired structure. This is reinforced by individual skill development programmes, helping each person achieve their full potential and personal goals.
The residents enjoy activities such as trampolining, swimming, arts and crafts, local walks, cookery and pottery to name but a few. Their personal interests include cycling at Alice Holt Forest and bowling. At weekends they also enjoy going to the cinema, personal shopping, visiting car boot sales or attending church if requested by the individual.
