About Mr R
Mr R has been supported by Havencare since 2020. He has an established team and is supported 1 to 1 from 1000 – 2200, sleep and then cover 0800 – 1000. Mr R is autistic and lives with an acquired brain injury, he sometimes has trouble understanding the do’s and don’ts of life, he can get information muddled up and this causes him to feel really anxious. Mr R needs skilled, timely and patient emotional support to focus on his understanding and to manage distress when things don’t go as he expects.
Mr R has his own home and requires support with maintaining all areas of his home and health, although he is independent with his medication and is empowered and involved with decision making about his life. Mr R is encouraged to continually talk to staff to explore and understand the day ahead, to include get out & about to visit and explore various destinations. We are currently supporting him to consider different ways he can fill his week with things he enjoys doing.

Mr R has a wicked sense of humour, and enjoys having a laugh and a joke, he enjoys watching all sports on TV and is a budding cook – he has all James Martin books and enjoys the opportunity to watch live shows when he is touring locally.
