Risdon Enterprises Community Interest Company provides a rehabilitation programme for people with substance misuse problems. They are registered with the Care Quality Commission for accommodation for persons who require treatment for substance misuse. Risdon Enterprises Community Interest Company work in collaboration with Gilead Foundations Charity. The service has a registered manager. The programme accommodates males and females between the ages of 18 and 65 years. The service is in the process of becoming a supported housing organisation and have been adapting their service model. This will lead to them applying to de-register with the Care Quality Commission. However, at the time of our inspection they continued to provide activities regulated under the Health and Social Care Act.
The male clients live in a large purpose built accommodation comprising a lounge, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms and meeting rooms. Female clients live in a separate farmhouse where the programme manager and his wife, a recovery worker, live. Each accommodation has ‘house parents’ who are live in staff that work as recovery workers. There were ten clients at the time of our visit and the service has capacity for ten clients. Clients’ care is funded through a combination of funding sources including private or self-funding, council funding and sponsorship.
