About
At The Elms, we provide bespoke support and enablement for eight people who, alongside their Learning Disabilities, may have additional needs such as Autism, Acquired Brain Injury, Prader-Willi Syndrome, complex health conditions, or physical disabilities. We encourage and motivate each person to feel good about themselves, helping them build confidence and engage in activities that matter most to them. Our goal is to support individuals to lead happy, fulfilled lives. We prioritise ensuring everyone has a voice about what matters to them, and our support is centred on making sure their voices are heard in every aspect of their lives.
Our Approach
Our primary aim is to provide the highest quality care for each person, promoting their health and happiness. We offer a warm, homely environment tailored to individual needs and aspirations. Through person-centred plans, we promote life skills, enabling people to live more independently and achieve their goals. We believe that a good life with positive outcomes is possible for everyone, regardless of their disabilities.
Person-Centred Planning
We provide positive, flexible, and encouraging support to everyone. Our person-centred approach helps people achieve their goals and aspirations. Everyone is supported to believe in their full potential within a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. Our staff work closely with each person to create a personalised plan that reflects how they want to live their life now and in the future. Using a variety of communication tools, we ensure individuals are actively involved in developing their own plans.
The Elms — Progression Pathway
The Elms is a separate part of the service featuring two studio apartments. These apartments offer a clear progression pathway for self-development and personal growth, regardless of complex health and social care needs. The studios provide private spaces for staff to deliver skill development and coaching sessions. Individuals can trial independence in a safe, risk-managed setting with 24-hour staffing to support their life skills development. The Elms helps people take their first steps towards greater independence.
Positive Outcomes
We are dedicated to improving people’s health and wellbeing and are focused on achieving positive, lasting outcomes. We have a strong track record of supporting individuals with complex, long-term rehabilitation needs and helping them progress to more independent models of support.
Accommodation
The Elms features six en-suite bedrooms, communal lounges, a kitchen, and a supported bathroom. The Elms includes two studio apartments with identical layouts, each comprising a lounge, kitchen, and en-suite bedroom (with access through the main home entrance).
Both The Elms and its studio apartments benefit from a beautiful, spacious garden overlooking the Newport countryside. The garden is used to develop practical skills through a woodwork shed, animal care, recreational equipment, a poly-tunnel, and quiet areas for relaxation.
