Back in July, Carricks and Oakdown teamed up to hold a sports day for residents and staff. The weather was great and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day! There were egg and spoon races, games of football, running races as well as wheelchair races. The residents enjoyed watching the Managing Director and the Home Manager team up for the 3-legged race!

Spring News from Carricks and Oakdown
Both Oakdown House and Carricks Brook have welcomed new residents this year; all have settled in well and are making new friendships both with other residents and with staff. Moving home is an unsettling time for anybody but if you have learning disabilities the process becomes even harder. At both homes we spend lots of time getting to know new residents before they move in as well as organising visits and personalizing and decorating their room to make the transition as smooth as possible.
