We perform the necessary risk assessments and make sure that we work in a way that promotes independence, with continuous monitoring and management of all risk issues. We work with the relevant organisations, such as the probation and forensic outreach services, to ensure the best possible care outcomes for our forensic clients.

  Comfort Lodge Care Path

  Here at Comfort Lodge , our goal is always to provide a first class service to our residents - where they are able to realise and maximize their potentials, acquire essential daily living skills, and help them to make the progression to independent living in their own home. We provide the range of services from a full 24-hours supported living, through the provision of a "step down" support accommodation for clients who have made some progress, prior to moving on to full independent living
