About SENSE - 129 Neale Avenue
We are Sense at 129 Neale Avenue, a small residential care home in Kettering. We support adults with a learning disability or who are autistic, people with a physical disability and people living with sight or hearing loss, including those with both. We also offer respite stays where a short period of support is what is needed. Communication sits at the centre of everything here. Some of the people who live with us use speech, some use signing, objects of reference, touch or their own established gestures, and our staff learn each person's way rather than expecting people to meet us halfway. Time and patience are part of the method. A choice offered properly, at a pace someone can work with, is a very different thing from a choice offered in passing. Because this is a small home, life here is domestic rather than institutional. People are involved in shopping, cooking and looking after their own space as much as they wish, and we support people to get out into Kettering and to keep up the activities, relationships and interests that are already theirs. Where someone needs help with mobility, personal care or health appointments, that support is given discreetly and in a way that keeps dignity intact. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a place here for someone you care about, please get in touch and come and see us.
