What we do
Avalon is a residential home designed to promote the wellbeing, independence, and fulfilment of each person it supports. Using Person-Centred Planning, Active Support, and Positive Behavioural Support (PBS), Avalon provides a nurturing environment where individuals are empowered to live rich and meaningful lives.
Support at Avalon is fully individualised, with care tailored to meet each resident’s unique needs, preferences, and personal goals. Residents are actively encouraged to participate in their own care and decision-making processes, ensuring they have a genuine voice in how their support is delivered.
Avalon follows an outcomes-based approach, focusing on what is most important to each person. Whether the goal is to develop new skills, build confidence, or pursue personal interests, the dedicated and experienced team works closely with residents to provide the opportunities and support needed to achieve their ambitions.
The home is also equipped to support individuals who are subject to community-based legal frameworks, including those who require a step-down from hospital settings or a step-up from more independent living environments. Avalon offers a flexible, responsive, and person-led approach to care that ensures each individual receives the right support at the right time in order to live happy and fulfilling lives.
How we do it
At Avalon, care and support are delivered with a strong focus on each individual’s strengths, abilities, and aspirations. The team works to empower residents by helping them recognise and build on their talents and interests, which in turn boosts confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of personal achievement.
Residents are actively encouraged to make choices and decisions in their everyday lives—whether that’s choosing activities, expressing personal preferences, or contributing to important decisions about their care. This person-led approach ensures individuals remain at the centre of everything we do.
A key part of our support involves helping individuals develop meaningful friendships and build social connections with others who share similar interests or experiences. The team facilitates these interactions through regular social activities, group outings, and community engagement, promoting inclusion and emotional wellbeing.
We also support the development of essential daily living skills, enabling individuals to express their needs confidently and live with greater independence. This approach is underpinned by collaborative working—involving the person, their family, and wider support networks to ensure a holistic understanding of their needs, preferences, and goals. Through this partnership, we create a supportive and empowering environment where individuals can truly thrive.
Residents are supported to access a full range of primary healthcare services within the community, including GP visits, dental care, opticians, and other services.
