Because Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare condition, we know it can be difficult to find a supportive environment that understands the complexities and challenges of the syndrome.

Case study
When she first moved into Esmer House, Lauren was overweight and had very low mobility. Staff worked with her to improve her diet by introducing calorie controlled meal plans and portion control. Lauren can still enjoy her favourite treats in moderation, keeping her diet healthy. After implementing this change, Lauren saw a huge difference and began to lose weight and introduce exercise. Lauren has now lost three stone and this has significantly benefited her health and mobility!
