A NEW supported living service for adults with an autistic spectrum disorder and learning difficulties, mental health issues and acquired brain injury is opening in Llangrannog with the creation of over 20 new jobs for the local community.

Wales Care Awards ‘Gold’ winners Regard has converted a bungalow and annex into the new Caeronnen service, which will cater for between four and six people in two three-bed, self-contained units in spacious grounds.

The care providers have been in consultation with Ceredigion County Council regarding identifying the needs of individuals in the area.

“There is an enormous need for this type of accommodation,” said customer relationship manager, Mary Newton.

“We’re offering a chance for people to live independent lives with access to the level of support they need."
