About this home

Ffynnon Non is a residential home that specialises in providing person-centred care and support for up to four adults with autism spectrum conditions, Asperger’s, learning disabilities, communication difficulties, and behaviour that may challenge.

We believe that people we support are unique and that individuality should be emphasised to ensure that the support given is true to their needs, choices, and beliefs. The support team encourage people to believe in their potential and to make positive steps towards achieving individual goals, regardless of presumed ability.

Working with multidisciplinary teams, Ffynnon Non uses combined strategies such as PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) and Speech-Language Therapy to achieve greater direction towards independence. Specialist communication techniques such as British Sign Language (BSL) and Picture Exchange (PECS) are also used to support people who have little or non-verbal communication to ensure person-centred planning around their personal goals and preferences.

To help us better understand a person’s interests, strengths, gifts, and support needs, we always complete an initial autism profile for anyone seeking our support. This makes it easier for team members to understand the individual’s form of the condition and to identify cognitive abilities that may require focus.

What we offer

The home has been adapted with autistic people in mind, offering robust furnishings without compromising a homely feel, and is fully compliant with CIW standards.

To the right of the building, the main house is comprised of three large single en-suite bedrooms and an assisted daily living kitchen (toaster, kettle, microwave, and fridge), which helps to promote independence while ensuring a safe environment is maintained.

The ground floor consists of a spacious kitchen and a lounge where people can enjoy a low stimulus, relaxed and homely environment with comfortable furnishings. The lounge has a large wall-mounted TV for easy viewing and external views of the front of the home from a seated position.

To the left side of the home, on the first floor, is a self-contained annexe which includes a bedroom with en-suite facilities and a separate private lounge.

Lifestyle

People at the home can enjoy a therapeutic Snoezelene room with specialist sensory equipment that has been designed to stimulate all the sensory modalities.

Ffynnon Non is located in Llannon, which is a small village that sits on the A476 road between Cross Hands and Llanelli in the county of Carmarthenshire, South Wales.

The name Ffynnon Non (Non’s Well), derives from beliefs that St Non, the mother of the patron saint of Wales, St David, once drew water from the well located in the garden of the house when she was thirsty, and thereafter it was said that the water within the well contained healing properties.
