Ty Carreg

Ty Carreg located in West Aberthaw

Welcome

Situated in West Aberthaw surrounded by small friendly villages and close to the seaside town of Barry Ty Carreg is home to 12 adults from the age of 18.

Arranged across a series of beautifully converted stone barns Ty Carreg provides a range of interior-designed living environments including sole occupancy self-contained apartments, and 2, 3 and 4-bed communal living areas.

General

At Ty Carreg 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.

With a dedicated team of care and therapy professionals, adults are provided with comfort and support, and a tailored programme of person-centred care.

Outside, a communal courtyard area supports group activities and provides adults with plenty of space for either rest or exercise, and the horseshoe arrangement of the barns creates a close community which is defined by close friendships and lots of communal activities.

Academy Living at The Orb

We believe that learning should be a lifelong pursuit. All adults have access to The Orb: a pioneering work experience initiative which was recently awarded the Careers Wales Quality Mark. The Orb is a charity shop, café, laundry, kitchen and office all rolled into one bright and friendly high street centre. Adults are supported to work to an individualised timetable, building on their skills week by week.

They may be greeting and serving customers, making drinks and snacks for busy shoppers, washing, ironing, pricing-up and stocking clothes and other items for sale in the shop, designing window displays and much more. At The Orb we offer a range of ASDAN accreditations that mark the progress that adults make in learning about and engaging with the wider world and the immediate community.

Mission

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.

Therapeutic Services

Orbis offers a multi-disciplinary model of care, learning and therapeutic support. Our therapeutic model includes Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Positive Behaviour Support.

We also contract other specialist health professionals to offer specialist support for specific needs.
