Living at this service

Life at Whinneyfield is suitable for people with learning disabilities and autism. The lady living here is in her late-70s, is non-verbal and enjoys a quiet home. She enjoys sitting with her staff team and being part of conversations, going out in her mobility car, visiting cafés and restaurants and going shopping. She loves nothing more than ‘fish and chip, Friday’ and this is never missed which she never misses.
