When Holly moved in, she was in ore with all the amenities the home could provide her – a wardrobe, chest of draws, plug sockets in her room, a proper shower and double bed, even a TV. Holly* spent the last 5 years in hospital, where her care coordinator helped her transition into a placement at Ty Arfryn. There is also a communal lounge, bathroom and kitchen/diner. Surrounded by large gardens, there are two individual studio apartments and four en-suite bedrooms.

Ty Arfryn is a detached property with its backdrop of the pictorial Towy valley. We feel that the creation of our semi-independent transition studio apartments, enables people who want to live more independently, take those first steps to greater independence within a safe, risk managed environment. People can trial independence in a setting which has 24 hour staffing available, to assist with development of their life skills. The apartments provide a private space for staff to enable skill development or coaching sessions. The pathway offers an opportunity for self-development and maximum personal growth, regardless of complex health and social care needs. Our two studio apartments offer a clear progression pathway, within a residential support setting. We are committed to enabling people to move on and step down to more independent models of support. We support everyone to have access training, volunteering, education and where possible employment opportunities. We work alongside individuals to help them build their future and increase personal empowerment. Our approach offers people access to college, travel training and leisure activities. Our aim is to improve everyone’s social awareness skills which are further developed through accessing the community. We support people to maintain their identity whilst we work with them to regain their self-confidence and start to manage their own Mental Health and relapse. We offer the right environment to enable mental and physical well-being. We recognise that everyone is different, so we adapt our support to suit each person’s needs. We understand that everyone is an individual and their needs may vary, but whatever the persons situation or however complex their needs are we will encourage, support and motivate them on their unique journey towards independence. We provide the right support to assist individuals in developing coping techniques which can make a noticeable difference in their everyday lives. We help people to develop their own set of resources to self-manage and stay well.

We enable them to develop their skills, strengths and resilience. At Ty Arfryn we support six people with complex Mental Health needs.
