The Laurels (5 self-contained flats) and The Oaks (2-bedroom shared apartments) are individualised and adaptable living spaces for individuals with a learning disability and complex needs, including Autism, Prader-Willi Syndrome and behaviours that challenge. The unique settings form part of Ty Hendy, an innovative learning disability service based in Carmarthenshire, Wales which also supports people with learning disability and dementia (The Hollies).
What makes these settings unique are their ability to flex and evolve to suit the needs of each individual, with the support team taking a truly person-centred approach that focuses on responding to each individuals unique needs and triggers and adapting the support and environment accordingly.
Our team at Ty Hendy show dedication and commitment to the people they support. This is recognised and validated by team members regularly being finalists and winners of sector awards including The National Learning Disabilities & Autism Awards and The Wales Care Awards.
The Laurels (5 self-contained flats) and The Oaks (2-bedroom shared apartments) are unique settings that provide individuals with learning disabilities and a range of complex needs with an individualised and adaptable living space that helps reduce environmental triggers while also providing the enhanced support and safety of a residential service.
These settings have been successful in supporting individuals with:
- Challenging behaviour
- Autism
- Prader-Willi Syndrome
They are also an ideal ‘stepping stone’ for individuals to develop the daily living skills they need to live more independently or move on to Supported Living.
