New Horizons

New Horizons is a three-bed service for people with autism, learning disabilities, and other needs. Our home has a strong focus on supporting people to access the community, and pursue their interests and goals through the varied structured day opportunities available through our internal activities programme. The people we support are in their late 20s and are very active, they particularly enjoy physical pursuits such as walking, assault courses and swimming. Their other interests include drama, music, including playing instruments, watching action movies, fishing and photography. Our Environment Our home has a large lounge, a dining room and a kitchen with breakfast bar. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor and the third bedroom is upstairs. There are also two bathrooms, one on each floor. The large gardens to the front and back on the home also offer a great space for people to enjoy the outdoors. Our Staff The staff at New Horizons embrace good autism practice promoting structured days, personalised communication systems and reward charts for those who find this motivating. They are particularly skilled in positively redirecting people into their specific interests and passions. The team are trained to support people with a range of needs including autism, anxiety and emotional support needs. They support people to build their confidence and self-esteem by encouraging continued development and independence skills.
