Preferences

Anthony values meaningful connections and is known by family, friends and support staff as a playful, inquisitive and an affectionate person. He enjoys a calm, structured environment where he feels safe and supported. He thrives when routines are predictable and when people take the time to understand his communication and support needs.

Anthony loves listening to music, especially his favourite artists such as P!NK, Meat Loaf, AC/DC and The Eagles. He enjoys music through headphones or speakers and often uses music as a way to relax and regulate throughout the day. 

He also enjoys car drives, water-based activities, sitting in the sunshine, watching birds, spending time with family and familiar people and especially enjoys sweet treats, like chocolate bullets!

Activities

Within the home Anthony is supported by staff who assist him across all aspects of his daily life. Staff support Anthony with his daily routines, personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, community access, appointments, and participation in meaningful activities.

A strong emphasis is placed on promoting Anthony’s health and wellbeing. Staff encourage regular physical activity and community participation, including walks and swimming, while ensuring activities are appropriate to Anthony’s interests and support needs.

• Attending swimming each week with support staff.
• Going for car drives and accessing the community with his support team.
• Going on daily walks with support staff promoting Anthony’s physical health, mobility, wellbeing, and regular access to the community.

Skills development

Within the home skill development is encouraged through participation in everyday household activities at a level that is meaningful and achievable for Anthony. During meal preparation, Anthony may spend time in the kitchen watching staff prepare his meal or being involved in simple parts of the activity. This approach helps Anthony remain actively involved in daily routines while building confidence, familiarity and practical life skills.

Staff use encouragement via modelling, prompting, and opportunities for choice to promote Anthony’s independence and skill development.

Participation is tailored to Anthony, recognising that even observing, being present or completing a small component of a task can be a meaningful step towards greater involvement.

Household routine 

Anthony benefits from routine and consistency in his daily life. He enjoys knowing what is happening throughout the day and responds well to familiar support and regular activities.

Anthony typically goes to bed between _________., although this may vary slightly depending on the evening.
