Wells Road is a specialist residential service for six young adults with learning disabilities who also present challenging behaviour and complex needs. We work with service users who have severe learning disabilities whose behaviour is described as challenging so that with just the right amount of support, individuals are able to enjoy the same life opportunities as everyone else. Wells Road is a residential service with step-down facilities that enables people with high level needs to develop a greater degree of personal autonomy.

We provide support in an environment that is safe, warm and conducive to rehabilitation and personal growth. Our aim is to deliver an increasing sense of self-management and empowerment that will lead to more independent living, with the minimum support required. The service is central to local amenities and where the people we support are empowered to take control of their lives and work towards independence which is consummate with their skills, confidence and aspirations.
