Drive has provided a short-term care service for people with disabilities in Brynsadler, Pontyclun for a number of years.  The house itself consists of what were two separate cottages and is within easy walking distance of Pontyclun village. 

 

This service consists of up to 3 bed spaces for individuals who require respite care.  In any one-year, up to 50 individuals stay at the house.  The home is staffed on a 24 hour a day basis with the staffing hours being determined by the needs of the people staying at the home.  A variety of aids and adaptations are provided in order to meet the needs of individuals who may require respite. 

 

One further bed space at the home is set aside for longer stays - emergency accommodation of up to 6 months.  This allows for anyone who is in need of emergency accommodation to have some security whilst their long-term accommodation needs are assessed and the appropriate accommodation provided.
