We help people to maintain their identity, rebuild self-confidence, and develop the skills to manage their mental health and prevent relapse.

We:

• Encourage independence at every opportunity

• Help individuals develop and apply their own coping techniques

• Promote positive wellbeing and resilience

• Focus on understanding each person’s goals from their perspective

Our experienced team works alongside each person to help them feel empowered and in control of their own progress.

Thompson Court features:

• Three en-suite bedrooms

• A comfortable lounge and dining area

• A fully equipped kitchen

• A conservatory for socialising

• A quiet, private garden at the rear of the property

Although located on a main road in Canton, the home benefits from a peaceful and homely atmosphere, providing the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquillity.

We’re just a short walk from Cardiff city centre, with easy access to a wide range of amenities, activities, and public transport links. The people we support regularly enjoy trips to local attractions such as:

• The Museum at St Fagans

• Local sports and leisure facilities

• Cardiff’s shops, cafes, and cultural venues

“I’ve lived at Thompson Court for two and a half years. Since joining, my confidence has grown so much. The support I’ve received has helped me become more independent, especially with cooking, cleaning, and going to the shops on my own. I’m proud of how far I’ve come.”

People are supported to achieve their goals and experience high-quality  outcomes at Thompson Court. The service uses innovative and creative ways to support people, doing this consistently in person-centred ways.

People’s achievements range from regaining important physical and mental functions, being able to achieve important life goals, maintaining important family contact, and moving on from the service to live independently in the community. The service is sensitive to and respectful of people’s cultural backgrounds, supporting them to actively promote this. People have things to look forward to.

They follow their interests and take advantage of opportunities to learn new skills.

Registered Manager Lacey Stait has always been passionate about helping others, studying Applied Social Studies in Social Care at University and achieving a B.A in this area. She also holds QCF LEVEL 3 in Health & Social Care, Level 4 in Step Up to Management, Level 5 in Leadership and Management in Social Care and is a certificated PBM ABMU trainer, utilising this learning when developing support plans for and upskilling the staff team.

Lacey has worked in care for 11 years, starting in learning disability before working in the mental health sector. She believes that by doing our job well, we can change lives and because of this, she takes her role very seriously. As a manager, Lacey seeks to lead by example and through mutual respect with staff and the people we support.

The staff team share the same motivations, consistently seeking opportunities to work with others to improve their quality of life, build on areas of independence and manage risks safely. We recognise the benefits that supportive family and friends can bring to a holistic view of support, as well as the internal and external professionals involved, and we empower residents to make decisions over the care and support they receive.

The team strive to be proactive and adaptive to individual changing needs, with the goal of minimising these needs at a person-centred pace and working towards increased independent living, with a pathway towards supported living where possible.

Compatibility within the service is a huge priority, as residents do not always have the choices that we do regarding where to live, we want to maximise the opportunity for harmonious living and positive relationships and role modelling with the service.
