Glanree House

Glanree House is a supported Living unit for Adults with a Learning Disability.

It embeds the ethos of supported living in providing person centred care to support our tenants with living as independent as possible.  This includes tenancy within the main house, or one of the 4 one bedded flats that are also on site.  Community integration and coproduction are at the heart of our service and staff will empower all tenants to reach their full potential and achieve and fulfil their goals.
