Helyn, the rooms are set up for individuals and they have rails that can go on for people who need them. Everything is individualised.

Looks fabulous

Just what I was thinking, after hoping to visit with our son with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Alas we won’t get to experience such a beautiful relaxing, stress free holiday. Congratulations to all involved in Sargood, looks exceptional ?

Hi Karen,

I hope that Sargood is the start of good things to come. The way it has been funded is the reason the guests need to qualify a certain way I believe. Hopefully we will see more great facilities in the future.

Hi Seana, I’m delighted to see it all come together too. We watched it being built for years. It is specifically for people with a spinal cord injury so not for us but I’m delighted there is a model of something which is so good. I hope it will be repeated to assist people with a range of disabilities. Julie

We would be eligible but so many of our friends with similar needs would not be.

I totally agree Karen 🙁

People with identical levels of impairment and identical needs can’t book because of how the impairment was acquired. It’s well overdue that we move beyond a medical model of classifying people based on a medical diagnosis and look to need instead.

Fantastic, and it looks good. I hope you guys will have a stay there yourself soon.
