Within the centre, the residents are supported to participate in group sessions led by an in-house activity coordinator, with staff getting involved. Activities can include baking sessions, arts and crafts, quiz days, disco nights, and more.
The aims and objectives of the staff team at Ty Aberdafen are to provide residential accommodation, personal care, rehabilitation therapy, and support for people aged over 18 with cognitive, behavioural, and functional difficulties resulting from different forms of acquired brain injury.
