About Sennen Lodge
Sennen Lodge is a residential home in Southampton supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, most of them younger adults building the life they want. We keep the house small and calm on purpose. Everyone has their own room to retreat to, and the shared parts of the house belong to the people who live here rather than to the staff. Routines are planned around the individual, including the ones that need to stay exactly the same, because that predictability is often what makes everything else possible. Support is agreed with each person using whatever way of communicating already works for them, whether speech, signing, pictures or something particular to them, and we take the trouble to learn it properly. Being understood is the foundation of everything else we do. We start from what somebody already manages and work outwards from there. That might mean cooking together until a person is confident alone, sorting out travel so they can get to college or a job, or simply making sure the house runs in a way that suits how they take in information. Respite stays are available too, which gives families a break while their relative stays somewhere familiar with staff who know them. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and see how the house works.
