Community Services Building a life worth living
OUR LEARNING DISABILITY SERVICES With staff teams who are on site 24-hours a day and who have been extensively trained and upskilled to support service users with specific diagnoses, and supported by in-house MDT teams of Psychologists and Therapists, Ocean Community Services has a wide range of homes suited to service users with Learning Disabilities.
WENTWOOD COURT, NEWPORT PATIENT INFO:
18+
6 + 8 self-contained 1 bed bungalows
Wentwood Court is a delightful, detached house and eight bungalow apartments set in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Newport. The home is suitable for those that may require specialist aids and adaptations to meet mobility difficulties and/or physical disability. The home’s location is ideal for clients with forensic needs, where city living is inappropriate or those that prefer a more peaceful and tranquil environment.
Wentwood Court works very closely with our in-house clinicians and offers a multidisciplinary team including psychology, positive behavioural therapy, SALT, OT and physiotherapy. The model of care at Wentwood Court is based on the Recovery Model. Additionally, the use of Positive Behavioural Support plans and strategies, enables clients to reduce behaviours that challenge which may have in the past restricted the opportunities they were able to access. Referrals are accepted from medium, low-secure and locked rehabilitation services as well as the community, where placements may have been unsuccessful. Many of the service users at Wentwood Court have slow recovery pathways, with some supported right through to palliative care.
The home offers easy access to the facilities of Newport, as well as the shops, libraries, cafes and leisure centres at nearby Chepstow. Service users who are eligible for mobility are supported by the staff team to acquire their own vehicles, although the home does have its own transport. 1
