About Nua

Nua Healthcare was formed in 2004 by a group of experienced social care professionals to fill a significant gap in services for people with Asperger Syndrome / High functioning Autism. Prior the organisations inception, many individuals were faced with being inappropriately placed in learning disability or psychiatric services. This was of great concern / stress to individuals and families

affected by the condition.

Our first residential facility was opened in November 2004 Winterdown Farm. Since then our service has expanded significantly. We now have many residential units in operation as well as three state of the art

day services. Our residential settings range from adolescent, low support, high support, secure and a new purpose developed independent living complex.

Our staff and management have extensive experience working in the area of developmental disability, community services and crisis intervention. All staff are highly motivated, fully trained and committed to quality, social inclusion and service user empowerment. We have had great success in designing and implementing person centred programmes for a varied client group which has led to a significant

increase in quality of life for these individuals and their families.
