About Us

Thomas Henry House has been owned and operated by its current owners since the year 2000. We operate a fully accredited level 3 support accommodation facility in a quiet residential environment in Wearne Street Booval.

Our staff have a combined total of nearly 60 years’ experience working in the industry in a hands on roll.

Our accommodation is aimed at those for whom daily living requires some support because of mental or physical challenges or other special needs.

The facility was established to provide quality affordable supported accommodation in the style of a family home environment.

This provides a stress free environment where residents may relax and “be themselves” in the knowledge that they will be safe and looked after.

Our location provides easy walking access to public transport (both bus and rail) to sports and leisure facilities, and retail shopping malls.
