Learning Disability Care
Our carers provide support helping people with learning disabilities to lead independent and active lives, whether they live with family carers, in their own homes or in a supported living setting.
At Homecare Haven, we use person-centred approaches to support people with learning disabilities to fulfil their potential and to make as many choices about their own lives as they are able. We also work hard to ensure that where our support staff make choices on behalf of a client who lacks the mental capacity to make those choices, they do so in the client’s best interests.
We see the person before the disability, even where a client’s behaviour is very challenging. Our support staff receive extensive training in supporting people who might present behaviour that is difficult to manage, and we always have the rights, dignity, and safety of our service users at the forefront of our minds.
We support dozens of people with learning disabilities to maximise their independence, whatever the extent of their impairment. Whether providing sensory stimulation to the most profoundly disabled or supporting young adults to set up independently in a new home, we adhere to our principles of empowerment and person-centredness, making a real difference to every individual we support and focusing on achievable aspirations and goals.
Importantly, we take special care to ensure that we match the right care assistant with the right client looking to build a relationship centred on trust and companionship.
