Carramar House
Supported Accommodation with 24 hour cover.
A beautiful Grade II listed building located in the picturesque grounds of the market town of Thatcham, Carramar is now home to 10 individuals. The service boasts private rooms alongside recently renovated communal facilities, including a kitchen and living room with a blossoming garden.
Carramar provides a home that offers high quality, around the clock accommodation and recovery services for people leaving acute wards. The aim for staff is to support individuals to regain their confidence and learn the skills needed to enable them to move back into the community. Carramar has supported many individuals to live independently following their successful recovery journey at the service.
The Carramar service was opened in partnership with Berkshire Health Foundation Trust and Thatcham Town Council.
