“The healthy social life is found, when in the mirror of each human soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the community the virtue of each one is living.” R. Steiner

I get to talk about my support plan at my reviews and I get to talk about things I want to change. I like how Willow is decorated. I feel nice in my bedroom and the living room. I feel safe in Willow. Staff are nice and they do their job well. I feel okay when staff change and I like meeting new staff. I go to staff when I am unhappy and they listen to me – they try to make me happy again.
I like going on my bike with staff to go and have tea break with other staff. I miss staff when they leave. When staff notice I am unhappy they try and do something about it
