The Gifford Centre

Located at Milton Park, the Gifford Centre offers a comprehensive programme of activities including occupational therapy, education opportunities, life and work skills and group activities. The centre has been specifically designed so that vulnerable persons, adolescents and single sex groups may use the facilities without interfacing with other patient groups.

The Gifford Centre will hold evening and weekend Aspergers Clubs for Brookdale Care's residents and non-residents. This will give people diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome an opportunity to meet in a safe and controlled environment.

Brookdale Care will also be holding support and training groups for parents and carers of people with ASD.
