Philia House Guest Spotlight: Andrew

Let’s meet Andrew;

Andrew has been attending Philia house (24 hrs short term accommodation/respite) for some time now. Andrew appears to enjoy his weekend stays with us, often seen smiling, laughing and making friends. To begin with though Andrew was extremely cautious and anxious around coming for a stay so we worked very slowly with him, taking it at his pace; thus ensuring we had built a good trusting, solid relationship.

Now; Andrew bounces in without a care in the world – often shouting bye to Mum before she can even put his bag into his room. This has further been achieved by working closely with his family and other professionals that Andrew has in his life.

Andrew is getting ready for that next exciting milestone in his life; moving out of home! By coming to Philia house he has built up resilience in being away from his family in an environment that is familiar to him with a strong committed, well trained staff team who all know Andrew and support him in a consistent/ safe manner.

Andrews mum says – ‘ I love Philia house; this is Andrews 2nd happy home’
