Alexandra Park

Type of property

Alexandra Park is a unique development of 28 single occupancy bungalows, all located within extensive grounds.  Support is provided over a 24 hour period by dedicated support teams in each bungalow. A substantial amount of practical experience and research lie behind the design, concept and planning of Alexandra Park, resulting in an environment where individuals can truly thrive through learning life skills and becoming socially included. There’s also an on-site resource centre that is used for training, social activities and administration for the site.

Living at this service

We welcome individuals of any age and gender who live with autism or learning disabilities and require 40 or more support hours per week. Each person’s service is designed around their specific needs through our comprehensive referral and assessment process so that the support is right from day one. Thereafter, support packages can be adjusted in light of individual progress made. Alexandra Park has an excellent track record in reducing the levels of staffing required by individuals over time.
