Penumbra’s Supported Living Service has a specific
approach for working with people who have been diagnosed
with Korsakoff syndrome. We work on the basis that many
of those with this condition can experience significant
recovery, especially during the early months after diagnosis,
providing that they are involved in a creative and challenging
environment aimed at maximizing their potential.
Over recent years Penumbra has developed skills and
techniques for working with this client group which
are aimed at identifying and developing the possibilities
for living a more independent life-style. We have been
able to provide alternatives to, what are often, inappropriate
placements in nursing homes. Penumbra Supported Living
Service has also provided opportunities for people to
leave nursing care and to live independent lives in
the community.
