Ty Jibreel is one of two semi-detached properties located in the popular suburb of Whitchurch, both of which are under the management of Gofal Cymru Care. Ty Jibreel is able to provide 24-hour care and support for up to three children or young people. Where appropriate we seek to support the children in our care to work towards an increased quality of life, with a focus on a 24 hour curriculum, by linking in with schools and other services to increase continuity of care. This house has been renovated to a high standard and offers pleasant, airy living accommodation with spacious grounds. 

It is close to a variety of shops and facilities in Whitchurch and Llandaff North, and less than four miles from Cardiff City Centre.  There are two railway stations within two miles and a good public transport network operates in the area.

The house, which was set up in 2018, was fully renovated at that time and specifically designed with the needs of the individuals we support in mind. An extension was added in 2023 which increased capacity from 3 to 4 residents and saw improvements to the communal space.

There are good bus and train links and we encourage use of public transport where possible, although we do have our own vehicle for those unable to use public transport or who have further to travel to access planned activities or visits.

Rees House is the sister home to Timothy House, which is situated on the opposite side of the street. It occupies two semi-detached properties and can accommodate a maximum of six individuals over the age of 17, two in one side, and four in the other.
The two properties are separated by a locked door, and each has its own communal facilities (living / dining area, kitchen etc) which allows us to accommodate individuals who would otherwise not be compatible.
Rees House provides residential care and support for those with varying levels of learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorder and mental health needs. Some of the individuals there may present with complex health care needs and sometimes exhibit behaviours of concern.

Timothy House was the first care home we established in 2008 and it remains our flagship service. It is registered to accommodate six adults aged over 18 with a range of various learning disabilities, autism and mental health issues.
