Gregory Court - Residential Home

Located in Nottingham, we provide accommodation and support for people with complex and high dependency needs, giving independence and lifestyle choices for adults with physical disabilities. Gregory Court forms part of the nationwide network of support services provided by The Disabilities Trust.

We support people with a range of disabilities including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and arthritis, multiple sclerosis and disabilities resulting from accidents or a stroke. As well as providing physical care, we are committed to ensuring that people have control over their lives and are treated with dignity and respect at all times.

Life at Gregory Court

At Gregory Court we seek to provide an environment that encourages personal development, confidence and independence, and service users are encouraged to become involved in a wide range of social, vocational and recreational activities.

We actively promote the involvement of families, and seek to involve service users in every decision that affects their lives, as well as offering support, education and continuing help to their families, carers and friends.

Activities

Gregory Court offers a person-centred approach to support and service users are encouraged to take part in a wide range of educational and recreational activities including cooking, art and crafts, exercise, laundry, personal safety, financial management and IT. Activities are discussed with service users' individual key workers and take place on a one-to-one basis. Day trips include visits to the coast, bowling and theatre, and are planned with the input of all service users.

Gregory Court is situated in the heart of the community, one mile north of Nottingham city centre, with direct access to the Nottingham Tram System and is close to the M1 motorway and all forms of public transport. There are many local shops and a supermarket within a 5-10 minute walk, as well as a leisure centre, swimming pool, cinema, restaurants and public houses, which are all accessible on the bus or tram.
