Evergreen

Evergreen provides assessment and support for adults living with a learning disability diagnosis but may present complex conditions. Some of our service users have autistic spectrum conditions (ASC) and also have communication difficulties or present behaviours that challenge.

The service offers 24/7 specialist residential support and is committed to providing enough support to empower, encourage and teach individuals to develop the skills they need to live as independently as possible to achieve positive outcomes for all. The service is also supported by a quality assurance team including a specialist Learning Disability Advisor and a team of specialist Autism Advisors whose aim is to empower service users to take control of their lives, and where possible, work towards a level of independence which fits with their skills, confidence and aspirations.
