The people living at Options Applegate House are responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of their flats and the communal grounds, just as if they were living in their own property. People are supported to develop their own activity programmes which may include accessing social clubs, work related or educational opportunities, and also have access to the range of on-site facilities available at nearby Options Roxby House.
