Residential Services NORSACA’s residential services promote independence and encourage residents to work towards their own identified and achievable goals. We currently operate a number of homes in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, caring for adults with an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). Each home offers a contracted placement, in a therapeutic regime, on a long-term basis; helping to provide essential continuity, stability and personal security.  We enable our residents  to live as full, enjoyable and meaningful a life as possible. Support packages are tailored to individual need and choice. Care planning is designed to offer additional help with communication and social skills and to compensate for impairment with social imagination.

The principles of Person Centred Planning (PCP) are currently being promoted with very effective results - including individuals experiencing holidays of a lifetime to places such as Australia and Iceland.  Other residents want to work and have been assisted to gain employment in a variety of settings, either with or without support.

With Speech & Language Therapy Services input, each home has introduced communication aids such as Signs & Symbols, Picture Boards and ‘Talking Mats’.  These are being used to enable residents with communication needs to help choose meals and menus, identify which staff are on duty and what activities they would like to participate in.

Residents have access to a good range of fulfilling and age appropriate social and leisure activities and most maintain good contact with their families, friends and the local community.  

All of our residents are enabled and supported to make choices and take responsible risks in order to increase their independence. Providing this support is regarded as a fundamental part of staff duties.

All our residents also have the opportunity for an annual holiday. Locations visited include Euro Disney, Ireland, Normandy, Cornwall, Spain and Scotland.
