Sensory Cafe for Adults in Grantham
Why is Sensory Stimulation Important for Adults?
Supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism in leading enriched lives is crucial. Engaging in activities that cater to sensory needs and spending quality time with family and our CareGivers at Right at Home Grantham, Newark, Melton and Oakham can significantly contribute to their overall enrichment and well-being.
Providing sensory stimulation is an effective method for narrowing the communication divide and offering individuals with learning disabilities and autism access to the sensory support they would typically experience in their daily routines.
Why we started the Sensory Cafe in Grantham?
The Sensory Cafe in Grantham was established to cater to individuals with diverse sensory needs, particularly those with learning disabilities and autism. Billie Crofts, our Registered Manager, brings valuable expertise in these areas, enhancing our ability to create an inclusive environment. Recently, we connected with Jackie Lambert, Team Leader of Grantham/Stamford Day Services at Lincolnshire County Council. Through insightful discussions with Jackie, we recognized the pressing need for increased support in Grantham and the neighboring villages. These conversations reinforced our commitment to addressing this gap and providing a space where individuals of all abilities feel welcomed and supported.
