About Whitley Farm
Whitley Farm at Whitley Bridge is a residential home supporting adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with mental health needs, people with physical disabilities and people with sensory loss. Most of the people here are younger adults, and we also offer respite stays. Being on a farm shapes daily life here in a way that matters. There is space, fresh air and real work to be done, and for many of the people who live here that is worth far more than any timetable of activities. People take part as much or as little as they want to, and the satisfaction of having done something that genuinely needed doing is hard to manufacture any other way. People live here for years, so we treat the place as their home and ourselves as part of the household. They decide how their rooms look, have a real say in what is bought and cooked, and shape the week around what they want to do. Support with personal care, mobility, medication, health appointments and money is given exactly as agreed and recorded in detail so every member of staff does it the same way. Communication takes real effort and deserves it, and where there is sensory loss as well we think carefully about how information reaches somebody. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
