Services in West Wales

Shared supported living

In shared supported living the person we support has their own bedroom, but will usually share other facilities like the living room, kitchen and bathroom with other people. Those who share a home often find that they become good friends, and support each other as well as being supported by mirus.

Supported independent living

Our support is flexible, and the amount we provide is dependent on need. Some people may only require a few hours of support per week, whilst others require 24 hour support. We encourage people to work with us to identify ways that they can take control of their own lives, fulfil their aspirations, and play a central role in deciding how much support they need and who provides it.

Flexible Support Options

We support people who need a little extra help to sustain stable tenancies. The support enables people with mental ill-health or other difficulties to sustain their tenancies, find the services they need and build a better life for themselves within their community.

Connecting People

We support people with a learning disability, autism or mental health needs to learn new skills, build confidence, and increase independence through drop ins, workshops, peer support groups and one to one sessions.
