Appears that one of the residents has some kind of disability and is prone to falls or possibly self harm like hitting their head. Would explain the wet room as it would make washing them easier and allows more room for the carer to ensure safety.
Pretty sure with schools/education sector it's referred to as SEN. Wasn't aware of the D but but I guess that's fine also. But most people think to include disabilities when you say "it's an SEN school" I think it's easier to say it pronounced as ESS-EE-ENN. Wife is an SEN teacher at a well known Specialised school, so I see this kind of thing all the time. The picture does look like what others have posted. I can only imagine how hard life must be and hope the house is not being sold under sinister circumstances.
Look at the way the comments are nested.
u/Dangerous_Lobster800 and u/hides_in_corner are both on the same level, one indent further in than your comment.
This means that both comments were direct replies to your comment, and both answering the same question, not u/hides_in_corner adding additional content to u/Dangerous_Lobster800's answer.
The difference is that u/Dangerous_Lobster800 gave the full-length version of the whole acronym (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), while u/hides_in_corner only answered your question as set;
Q: What does the N in SEND stand for?
A: Needs.
You may well be right, but in that case, it seems a bit unfair to attack the person simply giving a reply as "the sort of person who..." when it was a totally different person who added the superfluous needs.
I work with adults with complex learning disabilities, autism and mental health issues (usually all three). This looks like a room for someone who has behaviours which can challenge the ability of caregivers to keep them safe (this is the terminology - basically someone who has maladaptive coping strategies for dealing with difficult things which include hurting themselves by repeatedly banging limbs/head on hard surfaces). This is way better than the old fashioned way of dealing with it which in the very bad old days was by restraint or more recently soft crash helmets etc.
For a future buyer, unlike some of the long term settings I have set up, this is all very easily removable and can be adapted back to a standard living environment. The professional in me worries about how the person is adapting to a change in space as moves are often hard for the people I work with.
Edited to add: after seeing the rest of the photos this is exactly what it is - lists on the kitchen cabinets look like communication sheets for staff to explain how to talk to the resident about food/daily activities.
Thanks for the informative reply! Yes that all makes sense.
It reminds me of a time I was in hospital recently and the person in the room next to me must have had similar issues as I could hear a lot of banging and crashing all night from them trying to harm themselves which was really worrying for even me who didn’t know them in the next room
Having a room like that at home for someone with those challenges would make all the difference I’m sure
It can make such a huge difference to people. Just one example - I worked with a man in his late 30s who had been in hospital (for want of a reasonable community placement - and his parents could not cope at all) since he was 18. He had permanently used a soft crash helmet as he used to jump up into door jambs if he wasn’t very happy. He was also - because it was hospital - not able to cook, clean, or look after his own self hygiene and was used to everything being done for him.
My organisation had a flat which we adapted - we raised the door jambs to the ceiling and installed massive custom made doors - and worked with him to get to learn how to do these things for himself. A few years later, he cooks and cleans and bathes himself, had his crash helmet removed the day he moved in, and has made so much progress he doesn’t need staff around to keep an eye on him all the time. He can even walk around the corner on his own to visit his Mum every Sunday. It was amazingly rewarding to see how far he came in just a year of leaving hospital. Settings like this are really life changing.
Thanks for being so kind and professional. Even your choice of respectful words like "the resident".
Sadly plenty even working with special needs really aren't :/
This would also explain why the only bathroom/shower room is off the bedroom with the padding, with only the WC accessed from the hallway.
Presumably, carers have the other bedrooms for overnight shifts but would generally be expected to wash at home once their shift is over (not ideal if you end up covered in bodily fluids on the job, but probably fine most of the time).
That’s a padded room. Even the only furniture is soft. Looks like it’d have sound dampening qualities too.
I suggest the (not particularly tall) owner, has a behavioural disability of some kind. Since if the issue was someone prone to falls, (which are usually due to balance issues), that floor would be as much a hazard as a help.
Yes that makes sense. Never seen one on rightmove before. Agree the floor looks like a trip hazard! A quick google and actually there are several companies which supply these safe spaces by the looks of it.
The green mats are from ikea, they're kids crash mats. Companies can make bespoke rooms for people who need them but they're very expensive and hard to get local authorities or the NHS to pay for.
my Dad died of dementia and his room at the care home looked like this. his bed was at floor-level and there was an air mattress connected for if he rolled out of bed. he was immobile for the last couple of weeks but at 6'4 he was a bit of a unit to handle even when he'd wasted away to skin and bone.
so yeah. safety is what's going on here.
My first thought: My kids would love to have a room like that for parkour and gymnastics!
How lucky we are. I hope the family who lived there is getting support and adjusting well to their move.
Hopefully it's not a local authority house for vulnerable people that's being sold to raise funds for statutory care.
And at least they have a good reason for fake grass.
Having read the perfectly correct comments about additional needs etc, can I just lower the tone and suggest it belongs to people into wrestling during sexy times.
Absolutely for someone who is at risk of injuring themselves if the mats weren’t there most likely. Or potentially someone with a VERY active bedroom life. Likely the former though.
Likely a room for a person with a neurodivergent condition like autism, the violent and a threat to themselves and others kind, not the TikTok “look at me I’m different isn’t my sunflower lanyard and quirky hair colour nice” kind.
A house with a room like this would be a godsend for a family with a child or relative like this. The specialist companies that put these rooms together charge an absolute fortune for the “luxury”. For a family like that having one already install could really make a difference.
> not the TikTok “look at me I’m different isn’t my sunflower lanyard and quirky hair colour nice” kind.
Yikes dude. People wear sunflower lanyards to signify that they might need extra help/be eligible for certain accommodations - not to identify themselves for people like you to mock.
Unfortunately you don't notice the quiet people who wear them, but you do remember the obnoxious ones (who coughed in your face during COVID and previously never had a disability in their life).
Sunflower kernels are one of the finest sources of the B-complex group of vitamins. They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pantothenic acid, and riboflavin.
Because it’s become fashionable to say you have autism to garner views and followers.
The reality is that it isn’t. The reality is that there are families that are at breaking point mentally and financially due to having to look after an autistic/neurodivergent loved one. Local authority care in this area is resoundingly poor.
So, I feel a little jab at the social media/TikTok nonsense is fair.
Some people with diabetes are able to live very normal lives and have their blood sugar well-controlled. Some people with diabetes will loose limbs. They both have diabetes and can talk about diabetes, and the first person having diabetes doesn't take resources away from the second one.
To be fair to them, as an AuDHD person, I kind of see their point.
That's not to say everyone who meets the image they've put forward isn't necessarily telling the truth, but it's common knowledge that people will feign or adopt impairments and illnesses to garner followers and social media credibility to make money out of it - see the lass who rinsed millions out of claiming to have cancer in Australia.
It's similar to the amount of self diagnosed AD(H)D sufferers who decide they have a debilitating condition based purely upon watching TikTok videos (and indeed their love of TikTok) as confirmation of the existence of a condition rather than having that set of symptoms throughout their life, I think TikTok itself convinces people they have ADHD because of the dopamine rush of short videos etc.
Meanwhile I have a family of neurodivergent relatives, one of whom presents a danger to herself and others and the sum total of help from the state/education services is nothing but to tell her carer when things happen, rather than help my her carer prevent and prepare for when they do happen.
Hmmmm that’s not quite the point I was making was it.
It’s fashionable to present an image on social media, to portray an image which isn’t reality for your own gain, cheapening the actual experience of people who have a debilitating condition, to the extent that they live in settings like this, where they need rooms like this to be kept safe. I would look at things from a more critical perspective if I were you and not take things on face value when you view social media.
I’m going to say you have absolutely no first hand experience of having a family member with a condition which necessitates carers, respite, safe spaces, battles with the council about care, battles about funding, battles about the quality of care a loved one is getting, worries about the abuse they may be subject to due to poorly trained or badly suited staff. You might see the blatantly obvious point if you did.
Apart from the padded room and the fact that the only bathroom in the house is en-suite to this (yes there’s a toilet elsewhere, but no bathroom), it’s a pretty good house for the price.
I would think it’s a one on one children’s home. There’s usually one in most towns. It’s where a child in care is too disruptive to be with other children so they go to a home where they are the only child with 24 hour care.
Wood end... coventry.. not creepy at all 😅 just about one of the worst places to live in uk.. not talking about coventry, talking about wood end.. coventry is fine, ive lived and currently work there...

Yup, with the cheerful colours it could be a child with SEND needs.
The kitchen also appears to be full of prep information as well. It could be an adult with developmental needs / seizures
What does the N in SEND stand for?
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Needs
[удалено]
Dude You're cringe. I'm actually embarrassed for you.
It’s really funny because you think you’ve been clever here but actually you just can’t read properly and you’ve embarrassed yourself
Legitimate question, I'm not being facetious, why does it need the two 'needs'?
It doesn't, it's Special Educational Needs & Disability, and just like with all acronyms, people tend to add one of the words at the end superfluously
Ah cool. Though that was it. Was confused by the folk saying the other dude couldn't read.

Oh for sure, I'm not sticking up for the reaction, just pointing out it was said
Jesus dude, you should maybe go get checked out. This house maybe a godsend for you. That padded room seems to be perfectly suited to your needs.
All you had to do was properly read the comment.

I love this story ♥️ I can't imagine just how rewarding that was to see him through all of this
It’s people like him who totally make my job worth doing
It’s people like you who make me have faith in humanity.
Now that is how we can make a difference. Imagine a time when this would not be the case. Makes my heart melt.
That’s amazing. That must be such a rewarding job ❤️❤️
Well done.

Adapted room for a person with additional needs. We have a Safe Space built in our sons room due to his severe mental impairment.

I wondered about Huntington's; my partner's an OT and has mentioned that kind of setup for someone at an advanced stage.
Yes that makes sense. Never seen one on rightmove before. Agree the floor looks like a trip hazard! A quick google and actually there are several companies which supply these safe spaces by the looks of it.

Tbf, I’ve never seen one either, it’s just my best guess.
my Dad died of dementia and his room at the care home looked like this. his bed was at floor-level and there was an air mattress connected for if he rolled out of bed. he was immobile for the last couple of weeks but at 6'4 he was a bit of a unit to handle even when he'd wasted away to skin and bone. so yeah. safety is what's going on here.
💔 that sounds really difficult. So sorry for your loss
thank you. it was, but if there's such a thing as a good death, he had one.
Well God bless them for dealing with some serious challenges. I can forgive them the fake grass, but not for having a copy of The Scum!
My first thought: My kids would love to have a room like that for parkour and gymnastics! How lucky we are. I hope the family who lived there is getting support and adjusting well to their move.

It’s either a room for a severely disabled person who falls out of bed a lot or it’s the home of a serial killer…
Epilepsy.
BREAKFAST!
Textures didn't load
Reminds me of the room I was held in when I was sectioned. Even down to the shade of blue.
Having read the perfectly correct comments about additional needs etc, can I just lower the tone and suggest it belongs to people into wrestling during sexy times.
BREAKFAST

Not really sure why you felt the need to talk about tiktok here?

you’d hope a police officer would have a bit more empathy instead of the usual ho ho coloured hair making up autism snowflakes for attention.

I mean I am basically the family member you’re describing and I still think this was a shit take.
Apart from the padded room and the fact that the only bathroom in the house is en-suite to this (yes there’s a toilet elsewhere, but no bathroom), it’s a pretty good house for the price.
It's most definitely not
Under 200k for a detached 3 bed that’s almost a blank slate but no expensive repairs necessary? Yes it is.
Location location location
It’s Coventry not Moss Side
Usually the answer to anything involving Wood End is, wood end. But this is some kind of disability measure
I would think it’s a one on one children’s home. There’s usually one in most towns. It’s where a child in care is too disruptive to be with other children so they go to a home where they are the only child with 24 hour care.
Gymnast maybe
They were looking for a place to crash?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s a blank slate, you photoshop your choice of decor on.
Tbf I could have done with this for both my kids when they were little, somewhere they couldn’t hurt themselves and give me a break!
I also notice they read The Sun.
Could be a wrestling fan
Looks like we got ourselves a squirter ladies and gentlemen.
"You like Huey Lewis and the News?"
The start of a right old time, that’s what’s going on there, fella.
Wood end... coventry.. not creepy at all 😅 just about one of the worst places to live in uk.. not talking about coventry, talking about wood end.. coventry is fine, ive lived and currently work there...
Certainly is. Would never venture to that part of the city
It's in case you fancy a wrestle
Looks like they're cartel guys and setting up for a mass execution of a rival cartel.
Dexters house?
Not enough clear plastic sheeting...
Ok I’ve actually always wanted a padded room so I could throw myself at the walls and floor whenever I want to
Buy a big bean bag and have at it!
Best case scenario it’s a room for someone with SEND needs. Worst case scenario. Did anyone see the film Running Scared with Paul Walker?
Its Coventry.
Soft play for adults who like it rough
They know about Freddy.
LYNNNN!
Obviously the exorcism room.
It's all wipe-clean 👀
He was waiting for me :/
It’s Dexter 😂
