Hafan y Waun is a purposely built care home providing residential dementia care for up to 90 people.
The home is designed to enable residents to live in a home-from-home environment with facilities and stimulating activities for them to enjoy on a daily basis. Hafan y Waun was opened in 2007 and has recently undergone a £220,000 refurbishment.
Key to MHA’s approach is its attention to the individual and the recognition that choice is an important component in good quality living. There are, for example, a number of lounges throughout the home, giving the residents the option of where they want to be.
Kitchenettes are included within communal rooms so that residents can have snacks at any time during the day or night, just as they would at home. Residents are even involved in the process of decorating their own rooms.
Above all, MHA has developed a strong “person-centred” approach which focuses on the person and not the dementia.
The activities programme at Hafan y Waun is tailored specifically to each individual. Members of staff develop a programme of activities and care that takes account of each resident’s personality, abilities, interests and preferences. It helps people to feel valued for who they are now as well as for who they were in the past.
Hafan y Waun is committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to residents, while our Chaplain offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs.
Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
