Each residential home is of superior quality surrounded by farmland and within easy reach of local facilities. Nua Healthcare recognises the key difficulties individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorders face on a daily basis:
* Difficulties with social interaction
* Obsessive compulsive tendencies
* Impairments of imagination and anxiety issues
Our qualified social care staff works closely with all residents, furnishing them with the necessary skills to live independently whilst taking into account and safeguarding any specific vulnerability. We understand that traditional disability service models do not work for people with Aspergers syndrome. Significant community interaction and unlimited choice can cause individuals with AS major anxiety issues. Our model of care ensures that individuals can integrate into communities on their own terms and have a low arousal, spacious environment to go home to.
All of our staff are very aware of the importance of clear communication and unambiguous language for individuals with AS. All our staff are trained in how to communicate effectively with our client group. We have recently linked in with the National Autistic Society in Wales with a view to implementing a Social Skills training program for our service users. This program has been the result of significant research and consultation with individuals with Aspergers Syndrome. This program will be an integral part of our service delivery going forward.
