Residential Services

CWCW (E) Ltd provides residential accommodation for 31 individuals on a permanent basis, plus another 5 Respite beds.

Beech Haven House

Beech Haven is our new residential house in the same grounds as the day care. It was officially opened, by Minister John Browne, on Monday May 22nd 2006. The house is a very warm and welcoming place and is beautifully decorated and furnished. There is a sunny and warm feel to the house, complimented by the modern patio area with water feature, accessed by doors from several rooms, and set out with trendy garden furniture, for use on sunny days. The grounds are landscaped to make the most of the outside areas of the building. At the
front of the house our name is displayed on a boulder, artistically designed and executed by Niall Deacon, which incorporates a bird bath and bird feeder, and we hope that the wild birds will feel at home here too.

The 9 residents in the house each have their own bedroom, most of them en-suite, which
they have personalised according to their own taste, with photos, pictures and soft furnishings. Not to mention TV’s and stereos. The weekends are livened up by trips to shopping towns such as Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny. In the summer, the seaside is frequently on the travel itinerary as are places like Kennedy Park. Of course the highlight of the weekend for many is the trip to the pub for some liquid refreshment. Of an evening the residents and staff have many walks and trips to the local cinema and pub as requested by the residents. The opportunity to attend a musical evening or a concert is never passed up either.

Bellefield Hostel

The Hostel was set up in 1981 to provide five day accommodation for those who are unable to travel on a daily basis and to prepare clients for “independent living”.  It was set up to provide accommodation for individuals who wished to access training program’s in CWCW and in the early days residents came from outside the traditional catchment area to avail of the service.  There are twelve beds available in the hostel at the moment but the needs of clients have changed.  The emphasis is now on care issues with residents at the moment needing 7 day accommodation.  An outreach worker is available to clients in the evening and they help with facilitating outings, walks etc in the evenings. 

 

 

Lyre House

This house was acquired in 1999 and completely extended and re-furbished with the residents moving in during the millennium year of 2000. The house has a lovely warm family atmosphere and the 6 residents have made it a proper home. The gardens are well set out and include a barbeque area where the group likes to entertain.

All the residents like to take part in trips to areas of local interest and for shopping trips on weekends to the bigger towns in the region, including Waterford, Carlow and Kilkenny. Concerts, ballet, variety shows and the local (and not so local) pubs are popular destinations. When the weather is not so kind there are trips to the cinema, instead of the more usual walks and trips to the seaside and our many beautiful scenic parkland areas.

Loyola

Loyola is home for 4 young adults who attend CWCW (E) Ltd. during the week for Activation or Rehabilitation Training. The house and staff go on an annual summer holiday which is enjoyed by all. The group has travelled to many places including Shanagarry in Cork and Kilmuckridge, a little closer to home.
