Wordsley Housing Society provides accommodation, care, support and practical help to people from the age of 18, who have a mental illness. The society is a local charitable organisation located in the Dudley borough and was established in 1987. The housing society in the West Midlands offers a range of services including:

- A purpose built residential care home for younger adults who have a mental illness, awarded a 3*** excellent rating since 2007, by the Care Quality Commission. We offer bespoke personalised care packages to clients in a home with exceptionally high standards of accommodation.

- Respite care is provided for people and/or their carer's in need of a short term planned break from their circumstances.

- We have three, two bed properties which are in close proximity to the main home, that are available for clients to use. These properties provide the opportunity for real life assessments and the development of life skills which can promote and assist clients with their recovery and provide a pathway back into mainstream life.

What we do

We provide flexible support packages with the aim of:

- preventing relapse,

- achieving self-reliance,

- developing daily living skills and

- promoting social inclusion

We encourage and support individuals to develop lifestyles of their choosing; experiencing a wide and varied range of social, leisure, occupational and educational activities within the local community. We work in partnership with clients and carers, enabling everyone to tackle mental health problems with hope and optimism and work towards enabling individuals to manage their illness in a way that provides them with a valued lifestyle within and beyond the limits of any mental health problem. Services are available in the evenings and weekends to ensure that support can be provided at times of most need, including crisis situations.
