About Hafod Care Association

About Us

Hafod Care Association is a registered Housing Association that provides Care and Support services to aid vulnerable people throughout South and West Wales.

The Association began providing care for people with enduring mental health problems in 1983 at the Gwynfa Hostel, Llanishen. This was followed by the development in 1986 of sheltered accommodation at Parc Hafod, Whitchurch for the same client group, along with 6 staffed houses throughout Cardiff.

Further developments followed with the service emphasis switching to supporting people in their own homes. These services have recently been expanded with the development of further Tenant Support services in Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) and Newport .Our first domiciliary care service also began operation in RCT in 2005.

Since 1991 the Association has provided residential care services to older people in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. More latterly these services have been extended to Bridgend and Torfaen.

In 2011, Hafod Care took over the co-ordination of a number of supported housing and floating support schemes previously managed by Foundation Housing.  The projects range from floating and static support for vulnerable young people (age 16-24) in Carmarthenshire, to projects in Cardiff for single people and families in temporary accommodation.  There are also projects in the Vale of Glamorgan, e.g. floating support and temporary accommodation.

In all the Association’s direct care projects, significant use has been made of volunteers, activities organisers and charities such as Age Concern, to advocate for true choice, participation in activities and community involvement.
