Settling in well at Dunkeld Road!

Our Dunkeld Road service opened last year and TRFS staff provide support for the people we support to live independently in their own homes.  Everyone has settled in well and have been making amazing achievements!  

Scotty is doing great living on his own with the support provided by TRFS staff. He attends a lot of activities and has a great social life.  Scotty is a joy to support and loves coming into the service for a cuppa and to colour in with staff after his activities.

Mathew is an amazing young man who is also doing brilliantly living independently. He enjoys attending a range of different services and activities, including 3D drawing and printing.  Matthew has impressed the staff, at the activity centre he attends, so much that staff member Victoria wanted Matthew to meet our first minister John Swinney.  Matthew was able to show him the enjoyment and skills the activity service is bringing to young people’s lives. Matthew, his parents and his support staff were, rightly so, very proud! Mathew is also an amazing cook, making everything from scratch with support and guidance from our great staff team. 

Courtney is a lovely young lady who is also doing amazingly well living independently.  Courtney attends an activity centre also and carries out tasks there, in particular baking bread and rolls for her friends and others who attend the service.  Courtney also enjoys baking with staff at home. On a Sunday, Courtney enjoys making a lovely meal for her friends, neighbours and staff in the staff flat. Courtney is hoping to attend college to take part in a baking class.  

Lauren is in the process of transitioning to her own flat in the service.  She is doing amazing and is loving the independence it gives her. Lauren is currently having her first sleepover in her own flat and is really enjoying herself and making huge progress. 

Every week Matthew, Scotty and Courtney attend line dancing and thoroughly enjoy participating with staff members.  

The Dunkeld staff team enjoy supporting everyone in the service with all aspects of their lives and are always available and keen to learn new skills, ensuring the people we support receive the best support possible to lead fulfilling and happy lives!
