About Learning Disability

Many people with severe epilepsy have a learning disability too. The reasons for this are many and varied, but it may well be that whatever it is within the brain that's causing the seizures has also caused the learning disability.

Learning disability affects everyone in a slightly different way. For some people their learning disability is relatively mild, and with appropriate support and encouragement that individual should be able to enjoy a full and varied life.

At the more severe end of the scale, an individual with severe and profound learning disability may need very intense support in almost every aspect of daily living. 

We provide support at both ends of the spectrum, and all points in between. 

Crucially, our philosophy is based on supporting each of our service users to achieve what they can, safely, rather than thinking about what they can't or shouldn't be doing. We never compromise safety, but we aim to provide a dynamic living environment for each and every service user. 

All of our service users live in typical residential houses in typical residential streets. They are part of a typical community. But inside each of our residential care homes we've invested considerable sums of money to ensure that accommodation is state of the art.
