Welcome to Low Laithes
We provide specialist residential support for people with learning disabilities and intensive specialist support needs. Many people we support are autistic and may also experience communication differences, sensory processing differences, emotional wellbeing needs and behaviours that challenge.
Set in rolling countryside, Low Laithes is a purpose-built residential service, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire. All accommodation is within individual self-contained apartments, which people are encouraged to personalise to create calm and relaxing homes.
At Low Laithes, our mission is to enhance the lives of the people we support by focusing on their individual needs, strengths and aspirations. We aim to enable each person to maximise their potential and progressively achieve more independence and a better quality of life; we guide people to a place where they have greater choice and control in their lives.
Support is delivered through an integrated, consultant-led model focused on quality of life, wellbeing and meaningful progress. We call this The H.E.S.L.E.Y. Integrated Model.
Moving to a new home is a significant step. We take time to understand each person’s needs, strengths, aspirations and preferences so that we can make sure Low Laithes is the right environment for them. Enquiries from families and from placing authorities are always welcome. You can find out more about our referrals and moving in process here.

The Mission Statement and Values of Hesley Group are embedded within the service we provide at Low Laithes.
