Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Thank you. Jim (name changed to protect identity) is a man in his 50’s who has a diagnosis of autism and a severe learning disability. Until the summer of 2009, he had lived with his parents all of his life. As his parents were getting older, they approached Style Acre to discuss the possibility of supporting Jim. His parents were understandably concerned about Jim’s future as he had very specific support needs and undertook a very restricted range of activities. Style Acre worked with Jim, his parents and Jim’s care manager to very carefully plan his move into his own home sharing with two other men with similar needs. We also made sure that all of Jim’s wishes and needs were fully understood by the staff who would be supporting him. Jim moved to his house in the summer of 2009 and has made great progress. He now enjoys a much wider range of activities and life experiences than was previously the case. Staff are continuing to work with him to further expand his horizons and enrich his life with even more exciting and stimulating experiences. Jim’s mum and a close friend of his have both described his progress as “simply amazing”. Sharing for the first time In July 2009, four young people began to be supported by Style Acre in a new house which had been fully adapted to meet their needs. Two of the young people had experience of living away from home at a residential college, but the other two people had not until then moved away from their families. Although the group have very different needs, staff worked very hard to plan their support individually as well as to offer opportunities for each person to spend time with others in the group if they so wished and to undertake a range of new and exciting activities (both as a group where desired or individually). Feedback from the young people, their parents and care managers has been very positive, with observations such as the house has a wonderful atmosphere, the staff are great and one of the young people’s mum observing that, as a result of the support being provided, “...my daughter is now growing into the woman we always hoped she would become”.
