About Us

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

Our Background

The Association's involvement in the provision of care for people with enduring mental health problems, commenced in 1983 with 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 and Newport .Our first domiciliary care service also began operation in R.C.T 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 all the Associations 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.
