Learning Disabilities Cottage

Our dedicated 7-bed Learning Disabilities Cottage at Sainthill offers a safe, supportive, and inclusive home for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism. With a warm, homely atmosphere and a highly skilled team, we provide person-centred care that respects individuality, promotes independence, and builds meaningful daily routines. Residents are encouraged to take part in everyday life, develop life skills, and enjoy a structured programme of activities tailored to their interests and abilities. We focus on building confidence, nurturing relationships, and empowering each person to live life to the fullest — with the right support in place, every step of the way.

Personalised Care

we are proud to offer highly personalised care for people with learning disabilities. We take the time to get to know each individual — their history, preferences, communication style, and what matters most to them. This understanding shapes everything we do, from daily routines to support strategies, ensuring that care is not only safe and consistent, but also meaningful and empowering. Whether supporting someone to develop life skills, build friendships, or engage with their community, our team is focused on promoting independence, dignity, and a true sense of belonging.

Specialist Care

We provide specialist care for individuals with learning disabilities that is rooted in respect, understanding, and person-centred support. We recognise that every person is unique, with their own strengths, needs, and goals. Our experienced team works closely with residents, families, and professionals to create tailored care plans that promote communication, independence, and emotional wellbeing. From structured routines and therapeutic activities to sensory support and life skills development, our approach focuses on enabling each person to thrive in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment — where their voice is heard, and their choices matter.
