Celia – Sahara House Service User

Hi I’m Celia Dunglinson. I have been living at Sahara House in Cranbrook Road since 2005. I came in as an emergency respite resident and now I’m a permanent resident at Sahara House.

This makes me very happy as this is now my home. What I like most about Sahara House is the fact that the staff support and encourage me in every way to make choices and decisions for myself and about my life and they are great fun to be around.

I get on very well with all my other house mates and enjoy numerous activities and annual holidays and parties with them as well as going out with staff to do my own activities.

I have my own bedroom which I have decorated to my own likes and tastes and I’m also allowed to get a pet. This makes me very happy as I will be getting a guinea pig in the next few months.
