Fairfield House

About Us

Fairfield House is a residential home in Ludlow supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, most of them younger adults getting on with their own lives.

Keeping the house small is deliberate. It means everybody knows each other and the staff properly, and the atmosphere stays calm. People choose how their own room looks, join in with shopping and cooking if they want to, and have a genuine say in how the household runs.

Routines are built around the individual, including the ones that need to stay exactly the same from one day to the next, because predictability is often what allows a person to relax enough to try something new. Support is agreed with each person using whatever way of communicating already works for them, and we take the time to learn it properly rather than guessing and hoping.

Life here is meant to include the world outside. People get out into Ludlow and the surrounding countryside, to activities, to work, to see family, and we provide as much or as little support as that actually takes rather than hovering.

Respite stays are available for people who need a short break or whose family carers do. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to come and look round.
