Ability provides a range of services for adults with learning disabilities, autism, behaviours that challenge, mental health conditions and complex health needs.

Our service at Ash Lodge provides a day centre for these adults to attend and offer respite care for the adults. We have seven bedrooms within our respite service and these are booked through our regular booking system.
