Angelman Syndrome is a rare genetic condition first identified in the mid 1960's by a British doctor called Harry Angelman, from whom it also gained its name.In simple terms, it is a chromosome disorder that causes severe learning difficulties.

At Choice Care Group, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a healthy, active and fulfilling life, whatever their background or level of disability.
Our homes provide a safe but stimulating environment for adults and young people (aged 16 and over), where service users are supported to achieve positive outcomes in whatever way is meaningful to them. We actively encourage service users to become more self-reliant, to make decisions for themselves and, in many cases, to ultimately move on to more independent living arrangements.
