Fiennes House is a 12-bed purpose-built residential home, for adults with complex care needs, learning disabilities or autism, some of which have behaviour that can challenge. Everyone benefits from having access to a large sensory room with equipment to stimulate their senses using lights, sounds, music, and touch. This includes a heated waterbed and materials to help people enjoy different sensory experiences.

The people we support are a very active group who spend a lot of time getting out and about and engaging with the local community. Some of the activities they love include art classes, trampolining, playing music, gardening in the sensory garden and spending time in the community.
