Introducing Bishops Croft

Bishops Croft provides specialist care and support for people with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), in a purpose-built environment.

PWS affects both males and females, and appears to be present in all races. It is caused by a genetic abnormality on chromosome 15. This impacts on an individual’s ability to recognise that they have eaten and therefore gain excess weight, which is a risk to their health and wellbeing.

Our specialist services have been developed with the involvement of the people we support, families and care professionals to embed best practice in supporting individuals with PWS.

At Bishops Croft, our philosophy respects and encourages people with PWS to lead a personalised lifestyle. We offer a homely environment that supports up to eight adults aged 18 years and over, with the necessary skills to manage their food and dietary intake and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
