Sean’s motto is to live life to the fullest. He teaches us every day that whatever the circumstances - it’s important to live a happy life of your choosing.

At the age of three, Sean moved from home into a large residential hospital to live in an environment that, at the time, was thought to be best for his complex support and care needs.

He continued to have a great relationship with his mum, and was happy. But as the wards got bigger, it became more difficult for Sean to live a life of his choosing, and the support that had been abundant at the beginning, began to ebb and flow.

Moving to Carr Gomm

In 2003, Carr Gomm had just opened a new service in Forth Valley - a spacious new bungalow designed for people with complex support needs. Sean moved here to his new home.

Nearly 20 years later and he is more independent, curious, fun, and above all else, happy. Over the years, our team has worked closely with Sean - getting to know his likes and dislikes. Together, we’ve created support that works for him as an individual.

What’s next?

We truly believe that Sean has some of the best years of his life ahead of him, and we’ll be there (if he wants us) every step of the way.
