Steven’s story
Steven has been coming to Columcille since it opened when he was still living in Gogarburn hospital.
Being in a sociable, stimulating and safe space with a balance of structure and freedom, works for Steven and he is one of the many people whose presence contribute to Columcille’s unique feel and identity.
Steven’s brother, Donald says:
“Steven loves coming to Columcille three days a week – it’s his social life! His mind is kept stimulated by all the activities available to him.
His favourites are making wooden numeral 7’s in woodwork, painting and going for walks.”
“He enjoys being supported to go swimming on a regular basis by a member of Columcille staff. Steven also enjoys talking with the staff….and eating the vegetarian meals provided.
Many of the staff have been with Columcille for a long time and have got to know Steven and his ways; and new staff readily get to know him as well.”
