Supporting you

Park View Road provides support to ten people with learning disabilities, autism and other complex needs, who may exhibit some challenging behaviour. The residents are supported and encouraged to achieve their full potential, enabling them to live a life of enjoyment, fulfilment and quality.

Our vision is to encourage and support continuous improvement and quality of life for the people we support, adopting a flexible, person-centred approach whilst recognising individual challenges.

We realise this by:

• Undertaking a range of assessments and observations to create a suitable environment based on each person’s needs.
• Working in partnership with internal and external networks to ensure expert advice and support is explored and adopted.
• Provide an extensive range of learning and development for our staff ensuring they have the skills and ability to offer tailored support.

We practice a positive behaviour support approach by working proactively with the residents. The residents are encouraged to understand their challenges and recognise what triggers them and learn effective coping strategies.
