Providing Exceptional Care

Who we support

Everyone deserves a life that feels like theirs—filled with choice, connection, and the right kind of support. Our learning disabilities service is strengths-based, rights-led, and truly person-centred. We help children, young people, and adults live well at home (family home or own tenancy), building confidence and independence at a pace that feels safe.

  • People with mild to profound learning disabilities
  • Co-occurring needs such as autism, ADHD, epilepsy, sensory differences, or physical disabilities
  • Behaviours that communicate distress (“behaviours of concern”)
  • Mental health needs, anxiety, or trauma history
  • Transition points: moving from children’s to adult services, leaving education, or moving into a first tenancy

What we do (practical, respectful, person-centred)

  • Daily living & personal care
    Unhurried support with washing, dressing, continence, oral care, periods, skincare, and safe mobility—always protecting privacy and choice.
  • Communication your way
    Visual supports, easy-read documents, social stories, objects of reference, AAC/technology, and calm, clear communication that matches processing speed and preferences.
  • Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
    Proactive plans that reduce distress and increase quality of life: understanding triggers, building skills, offering meaningful choices, and using low-arousal, non-restrictive approaches.
  • Skills for independence
    Cooking, cleaning, laundry, budgeting, shopping, travel training, appointment confidence, and safe use of technology—broken into achievable steps.
  • Health & medication
    Prompts or administration (as agreed), MAR charts, health action plans, support to attend GP, dentist, optician, and annual health checks; seizure protocols where required.
  • Sensory & routine support
    Sensory-friendly spaces, pacing and predictability, visual timetables, and gentle transitions to reduce anxiety.
  • Meaningful days
    College, day opportunities, volunteering, sport, clubs, faith and cultural activities—planning transport and support so participation feels easy and enjoyable.
  • Community & relationships
    Building social confidence, friendship skills, personal safety, and respectful support around dating and boundaries.
  • Household help that actually helps
    Keeping home tidy and safe, meal planning, hydration, and environment checks to reduce falls and overwhelm.
  • Family support & real respite
    Practical coaching, clear updates, flexible breaks, and liaison with schools/colleges and professionals.

Clinical tasks (where assessed and competency-signed): epilepsy rescue meds, enteral feeding, catheter/stoma care, dysphagia/texture-modified diets, pressure-area care.
