Residential Services

We believe that the place of persons with disability is within the family, if it is their wish. Most disabled people find that their home, surrounded by loved ones, is the most natural and condusive to his or her development. But sometimes particular circumstances in the life of a person with disability may necessitate a permanent residence in a home.

For this reason Id-Dar tal-Providenza offers residence to persons with disabilities (mostly persons with intellectual disabilities and other disabilities who find themselves in such situations.

Respite Services

Many families need support in order to continue providing care to their disabled member.

Dar Tal-Providenza offers a temporary stay for the disabled person in a residence in order for the family to have a ‘respite’ or for the main support giver to be able to undergo certain activities such as hospitalisation.

Physiotherapy

The sole aim of physiotherapy is to help the person regain the movement and functions of the normal body in case of sickness, an accident or disability. The physiotherapy services at the Home focus on the situation of the particular resident. Apart from the treatment of the problem, physiotherapy might suggest things that can be done on a daily basis to maximise the ability of the resident to move and control the pain in the joints, muscles and bones. It also helps to improve the amount of movement so that the resident is healthier and happy.

The physiotherapists assess and improve the movement and function of the body, with particular attention to physical mobility, balance, tiredness and pain. These professionals also assess the need for types of wheelchairs the residents might need.

Workshops

The St. Isidor Agriculture Centre at Id-Dar tal-Providenza was officially inaugurated in May 2009. The Alfred Mizzi Foundation was the main sponsor of the project and has provided solid financial support for it to come to its start up.

Residents at the Home grow a variety of herbs in the spacious greenhouse and then pack the produce both for their own kitchens as well as for sale to the general public.

The Agricultural Centre is named after St. Isidore, the patron saint of farmers.

SPRED

In 2004, id-Dar tal-Providenza started to use the method called SPRED – SPecial REligious Development – which has been used successfully in many areas of the world.

In SPRED each person with a learning disability has a sponsor and belongs to a small community of (usually) 14 people. To enable growth in a sense of the sacred, the environment where people meet is very carefully prepared.
