Learning disabilities are often misunderstood and come in many different forms and can be categorised into many conditions.
At the Caring Choice, we like to look at everyone equally and assess everyone’s needs individually. We give a personal service that benefits and improves an individual’s lifestyle and wellbeing.
What conditions can The Caring Choice provide care for?
As our packages are tailored to the individual we consider providing care to most areas of the learning disability spectrum, this may be someone who has a form of autism, challenging behaviour or a more complex condition. We will carry out relevant training for each individual’s needs if required as in some cases this can be a requirement in order to understand the individual’s needsOngoing support
As learning difficulties are a lifetime condition, we hope to form an ongoing relationship to improve an individuals life and wellbeing. We give families assurance that if they need to take time out we are taking care of their loved ones.Supporting Families
