About Sansa House

Sansa House is a residential care home in Basingstoke, Hampshire, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, most of them younger adults. Respite stays are available too. We are a small house and everything follows from that. People have their own space and their own routines and a genuine say in how the place is run, from the weekly shop through to what happens at the weekend. What we are trying to achieve is not a smoothly run home for its own sake. It is that the people living here get on with the things they actually want to do, whether that is a job, a college course, seeing friends, managing their own money or going out without somebody alongside them. That means knowing people properly. How somebody communicates when they are anxious and words are harder to reach. What their sensory needs are. What genuinely helps when a day begins to go wrong. Support plans are written with the person in language that is theirs. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding, and the better measure is what the people living here would say about an ordinary week.
