Hi Katherine,
We have decided not to provide these for our residents or to make them compulsory. We regard these as a personal responsibility and so if they feel that they would like one it is their responsibility to purchase one and pay the associated charges.
I think it is important to have context though as we only provide four units and cannot cater for any significant disability or vulnerably due to the age and listed status of our building. If residents get to the stage of not being able to look after themselves or become vulnerable, we are no longer able to offer them continued residency.
As a very small charity we are also very mindful of ongoing costs and try to minimise these where at all possible.
Many regards
Mark
