About
4,5,7 The Sycamores is a level 1 residential community rehabilitation service for men, operated by Cygnet Health Care and registered for six beds. It supports four residents of informal status who are moving on from hospital treatment towards independent living. Staff input and clinical support are reduced gradually, so residents can build their skills and are encouraged to seek local work.
The home is in South Normanton, a market town just off Junction 28 and about two miles from Alfreton town centre, so residents can take part in everyday community life. Nearby towns have a gym, library, leisure centres, bowling, churches, shops, cafés and supermarkets. Train and bus links reach Alfreton, Chesterfield, Mansfield and Sutton in Ashfield, and Nottingham, Sheffield and Derby are within about an hour by public transport.
