Carer Accommodation If you are the full time carer of someone
with a learning disability, for example a
family member, guardian or friend, then
you probably want a holiday too. It
could be that the person you care for
has never been away before on their
own, especially abroad, and this makes
it hard for you to have a holiday on your
own.
We have some accommodation in a
village in the heart of the Gorges du
Verdon called Rougon. You can travel
down to Provence with the person you
care for and we can give them a
supported holiday whilst you relax 30
minutes away and take a separate
holiday with the peace of mind that if
you are really needed you are not far
away.
"A massive and very late thank you for the
wonderful week that Felix had, and that the
whole family enjoyed in Provence. He is
still talking about it, and is full of pride for
the independence that he had and the
friends that he made. You seemed to get
the balance absolutely right, and the week
played to all his strengths. A big thankyou
also to Jen and Hayley. As a parent it is
not always easy to see Felix developing ,
but a week like that also allows us all to
see how grown up he is becoming, and to
visualise a more independent future for
him. He thrives on being with other young
people, and on the sort of atmosphere
which you have managed to develop in Go
Provence. It was also a great arrangement
to stay in the house in Rougon- a lovely
place, and great neighbours laid on for us
too! Thanks also for the car, which made
us feel like real locals.“ – Tim Gluck, parent
who used our carer accommodation whilst
his son had a holiday with us. 14
