About SENSE - 54 Monks Dyke Road
Sense at 54 Monks Dyke Road is a care home in Louth, providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. Supporting people with sensory impairment alongside other disabilities takes specific skill, and it shapes everything about how this house runs. Communication comes first: finding the ways an individual actually understands and expresses things, and then making sure every member of staff uses them consistently. Lighting, sound, layout and the pace at which things happen all matter more here than in an ordinary building, and we pay attention to them. Beyond that, the aims are the same as in any home. People choose how their rooms look, what they eat, how they spend their time and who they see. Support is there for what is genuinely difficult and absent where it is not needed. Getting out into Louth and the wider Lincolnshire area is part of the week rather than a treat, and keeping friendships and family ties going is treated as part of the work. Respite stays are prepared carefully, with visits beforehand, because arriving somewhere unfamiliar is a great deal harder when you cannot see or hear it clearly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to visit, please get in touch and we will arrange it at a pace that suits.
