Lynn Fancher, Randallstown – lived at Rosewood 4 years

“I’ve got freedom now. I have my own privacy and friendly people around me. I don’t have to fight.”
Although Lynn only lived at Rosewood for a few years, from 1998-2002, she has very strong memories. She felt that at Rosewood residents were restrained too much and there was an awful lot of fighting. In her opinion staff sometimes pushed people to get into fights so they could put her in a safety coat. In the

community Lynn lives alone with support staff, she has a job and pets for the first time in her life. Now, she doesn’t feel like people are following her and telling her what to do and that has helped Lynn stop hurting herself.
