Les Amis is a Jersey-based charity offering care and support in a variety of residential settings to people with learning disabilities and/or associated conditions.
Our aim is to deliver a spectrum of services as diverse as the needs and requirements of our residents and service users, and to provide help, assistance and guidance to parents and carers, and the families of all those we’re supporting. In addition to our residential and respite care, we also run an outreach programme and provide a number of day services.
Currently, our residential accommodation comprises 16 properties, from one-bedroom flats to six-bedroomed houses, which are home to up to 58 residents at any one time.
The primary aim of this residential service is to provide a safe, secure and supportive environment where residents are encouraged to express themselves and make decisions about their lives as well as contributing to the day-to-day running of their home. We support all ages and abilities, from 18 years to 70+, whether they are living with a degree of independence or require round-the-clock care.
Les Amis also provides respite care for the parents and carers of people with learning disabilities, as well as an outreach service for people with a high degree of self-reliance who may need additional support to acquire the necessary life skills to become fully independent.
It is important to understand that, in many circumstances, people with learning disabilities can achieve their goals – from living independently, to undertaking a wide range of activities – and we provide them with the appropriate assistance and care to help them realize these ambitions. At Les Amis, we fundamentally believe that disability does not mean inability.
More recently, we have introduced a new day service to allow residents and service users to participate in relevant and meaningful activity, and to give them an opportunity to socialize, whilst also providing temporary respite for carers.
