Did you know?...<br />

We won the CareFocus award for meals volunteers Our home help service<br />

We have a sheltered and supported housing focus group of tenants who worked with us to develop<br />

services standards for all sheltered and supported housing residents.<br />

We have 532 sheltered and supported housing properties in <strong>West</strong> <strong>Somerset</strong>, Sedgemoor and the<br />

Taunton Deane area. We also deliver services to non-<strong>Magna</strong> residents.<br />

Our team of sheltered and supported housing staff help keep over a thousand people independent in<br />

their own homes each year. This reduces the need for other more expensive and institutional services.<br />

Ingrams Meadow, Extra Care Scheme, has a 5 star kitchen. We provide a mid-day meal to our residents<br />

at Ingrams, Silvermead Extra Care Schemes and to Meals on Wheels 365 days of the year.<br />

Ingrams Meadow has recently opened a small shop for residents to use when they are unable to get<br />

out to the shops.<br />

Silvermead have a vegetable garden and produce is sold at a very low price to residents so seeds can<br />

be bought for the following year.<br />

Ingrams Meadow has a lovely library most of the books have been donated for the residents to enjoy.<br />

The County Library delivers books every three months in large print and we have our own selection of<br />

talking books for residents to use as they wish.<br />
