Greenfields is registered for nine places offering respite and shared care for young people (10-25 years old and named exceptions above and below these ages) with severe physical and learning disabilities.

Respite is very flexible, according to the needs of the young people and their families. Day care is also available for users of the service, which will continue to develop on the first floor.

Greenfields has regular input from therapists who work for the Health Department.

Close links are maintained with Welland House to enable a smooth transition for clients when they reach 10 years old.

All the young people at Greenfields have a Link Worker within the unit and a Care Manager who both ensure a quality service is given.
