About SENSE - 21a and 21b Johnson Avenue
We at SENSE 21a and 21b Johnson Avenue are proud to offer specialist residential care in the heart of Spalding, Lincolnshire, providing a supportive home for adults living with learning disabilities, autism, and sensory impairments. Our welcoming setting has been thoughtfully designed to feel like a true home, where every resident is valued as an individual. Nestled within a quiet residential neighbourhood of Spalding, our two connected properties on Johnson Avenue offer a peaceful, community based environment. The location gives residents the comfort of familiar suburban surroundings, with easy access to local amenities and the wider Lincolnshire community. Our homes have been arranged to feel warm, calm, and accessible, with sensory needs carefully considered throughout the living spaces so that residents can move around confidently and comfortably. Our specialism lies in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, alongside those living with visual or hearing impairments, including individuals who experience combined sensory loss. For residents and their families, this means care is delivered by a team who understand how to communicate in ways that suit each person, whether that is through tactile signing, on body signs, objects of reference, or other tailored approaches. We take the time to learn how each resident expresses themselves, what brings them joy, and what helps them feel secure. Daily life is shaped around personal preferences, meaningful activities, and opportunities to build confidence and independence. We also provide respite care, offering families a trusted place where their loved one can stay for shorter periods. This can be a lifeline for family carers who need a break, or a valuable opportunity for a person to experience new surroundings, meet new people, and enjoy a change of routine in a safe and understanding environment. The Care Quality Commission has rated us Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led, following their inspection in January 2019. This consistent recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to person centred support, dignity, and quality of life for everyone in our care. Choosing a care home for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make. We warmly invite families in Spalding and across Lincolnshire to get in touch, ask questions, and arrange a visit. We would be delighted to show you around, introduce you to our team, and help you decide whether our home could be the right next step for your loved one.
