Journeys of Recovery

🌱 Resident journey

Transitioning to the Community

The background

"M" came to Jacaranda following a long-term stay in a secure mental health setting. He was highly anxious about managing his own time and interacting with the community.

Our approach

Our 24/7 team provided structured daily routines, starting with 1-to-1 support for local walks and grocery shopping. Through our weekly psychology sessions, M learned to manage his anxiety triggers safely.

The outcome

Within 12 months, M is now independently managing his medication, cooking his own meals twice a week, and has recently started a part-time volunteer role at a local charity shop in Reading.

🌸 Resident journey

Finding Peace and Purpose

The background

"S" arrived at Jacaranda experiencing severe depression and social isolation. She struggled to leave her room and had neglected her daily living skills.

Our approach

We took a gentle, patient approach. Our support workers gradually introduced S to our expansive gardens. By giving her a small patch to grow her own vegetables, she found a quiet, non-pressured reason to spend time outside.

The outcome

S now takes pride in maintaining the flower beds and regularly joins the communal cooking sessions using the vegetables she grew. She is budgeting her own finances and is actively planning a move to more independent housing next year.

What people say

Trusted by Professionals, Families & Residents

The transition for my client from a hospital setting to Jacaranda was seamless. The communication from the management team is exceptional, and knowing there are Registered Mental Health Nurses available 24/7 gives us immense peace of mind.

— Care Coordinator, Community Mental Health Team

Finding a place for my brother was terrifying, but the moment we walked into Oakview House, we felt relief. The staff don't just 'supervise'—they genuinely care. He has his smile back.

— Family Member of a Resident

Before I came here, I couldn't do anything for myself. The staff taught me how to cook, how to manage my money, and how to believe in myself again. For the first time in years, I feel safe.
