How to find us

The home has 6 individual bedrooms that are spacious, well-furnished and decorated to individual taste. Communal areas include the kitchen, dining room and lounges providing a comfortable and homely living environment. The home is within easy reach of Cardiff city centre.

The Care

There is a dedicated staff team on duty 24-hours a day to provide support. The highly trained team are committed to providing a safe environment and facilitating independence and dignity through the development and review of individual care plans. Princes Street promotes Craegmoors’ communication strategy called “Your Voice” which ensures that each individual, based on their preferred method of communication, is able to have a voice on how their supported care is provided. Monthly service user meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of fellow service users. This is extended to a voice at area, divisional and national level.

Princes Street liaises with families, community organisations, social services departments and purchasing authorities to support Person Centred Care Planning, and ensures full account is taken of social, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of all individuals.
