The main aim of Romsey and Winchester Avenue is to provide a quality service support people experiencing mental ill health which is of a severity and persistence to have significant effect on the ability of the person to live without support. We provide support that is broadly equivalent to that which can be provided by a competent relative. We achieve this by working with and supporting individuals who wish to live independently. We are committed to service user involvement both in care and support as well as in the development of the service. As a service we are able to respond to emotional social and health care needs. In doing so we respect and uphold the service users right to choice privacy dignity autonomy and personal fulfilment at all times.
