Collaboration & Safety
at Project Galmington
Key Stakeholders
Summary
We adapted and refurbished an existing two bed property for a resident who has learning disabilities and requires 24 hour support. Hence, this project had important safety and wellness requirements which it needed to deliver.
It was imperative to us that the family and resident were (and always are) put first with regular communication. This ensured every need and concern was addressed as the journey of the project evolved.
