About the Project
Located in Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, Gloucester Terrace is a temporary supported housing service designed to meet the needs of those who experience serious mental illness, have complex needs, or require a high level of care. By using Adferiad’s Recovery Programme, we promote empowerment and self-management in each client. We also hold a commitment to progress and apply a whole-person approach within our support.
Overall, we help occupants establish a stable safe home in the community and maximise their opportunity for independent living. We aim to enable individuals to develop essential life skills to help improve their opportunities to lead an independent lifestyle. The overarching aim of Gloucester Terrace is to support individuals to be able to live independently.
Who do we support?
We support individuals who have serious mental illness, and complex needs and require high levels of support 24 hours a day. All occupants in Gloucester Terrace have had several inpatient admissions prior to moving into the service and as a result, they have lost most daily living and coping skills needed to live independently. Our service therefore aims to support individuals in their recovery process, so that they can progress to eventually living independently in the community with little to no support.
How do we do it?
Our ambition is to support individuals to be able to live independently. Our dedicated staff provide advice on managing money and budgeting, maintaining relationships, accessing other specialist services, care and treatment facilities (such as DDAS), and supporting individuals to develop the life skills needed to be independent. This can include cooking, cleaning, making and attending appointments, and going to the shops.
Eligibility / Referral Process
To be eligible to live in Gloucester Terrace you must be under the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) with a lead need of serious mental illness.
The referral process is as follows: –
Contact Marie Balchin (Pembrokeshire Housing Service Manager) or Michelle Miscisz (Adferiad Recovery Registered Manager) who will send out a referral form which needs to be completed and sent back to Marie & Michelle with an up-to-date Care and Treatment Plan (CTP) and Risk Assessment.
Adferiad Recovery Housing panel will assess (including meeting and assessing the individual referred). In the meantime, your Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN), Social Worker must complete a funding pack which is to be submitted to the Pembrokeshire County Council & Hywel Dda Funding Panel.
This funding panel will assess and decide whether the placement at Gloucester Terrace can be agreed upon. If and when the decision has been made for placement, the Adferiad Recovery Service Manager / Registered Manager will contact you and your Care Coordinator to meet, and organise a move-in date.
