Awel Y Mor

At Awel y Mor we support adults with complex needs associated with autism. We embrace sector-leading practice and blend education, care and therapeutic support to provide tailor-made placements for unique individuals.

Awel y Mor has the feel of a family home, offering a balance of learning, leisure and life skills, and is a place that puts adults at the centre of their own progression pathway and development.

Every adult has their own interests, strengths and needs, and our creative and experienced team of carers work closely with each individual to ensure they are happy and supported.

Our primary aim is to provide a safe environment that encourages individuality, self-confidence, self-esteem and lifelong learning.

Ours is a person-centred approach. We encourage adults to learn and develop skills that will enable them to play an active role in their community, supporting them to make their own informed decisions. We also work closely with families and carers to support individuals to develop and maintain relationships.

We encourage our residents to participate in positive risk taking, helping them to develop roles, responsibilities and confidence within their daily lives and, at all times, we support them to become independent via a focus on lifelong learning.

We want to improve and maintain the quality of life for adults by nurturing and promoting independence. This is underpinned by Positive Behaviour Support - focusing on setting realistic goals and understanding behaviour in order to provide our residents with proactive coping strategies to overcome their difficulties. This non-sanction-based model of care celebrates and reinforces good and positive behaviour, leading residents to associate their home life with being happy.

At Awel y Mor our residents’ therapeutic needs are supported by the local health team in Pembrokeshire.

We are always happy to be contacted for further information about Awel Y Mor and we encourage anyone with an interest in our home to get in touch to find out more about what we do and how we do it.
