Fernlea

Fernlea is a service for ten people with learning difficulties, who additionally, may require support arising from sensory, dietary and mental illnesses. We endeavour to assess what support individuals require and provide a service that sets out to meet their physical, psychological, social and emotional needs on a personalised basis. We believe that each person has a right to express their emotions and live their lives in a safe and open environment.
