Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What is learning disability now called?
The term “Intellectual Disability” is now more commonly used in UK healthcare settings, but it means the same as learning disability. Both are used interchangeably, depending on the context.
02What is a learning disability?
A learning disability is a lifelong condition that affects how a person understands information and copes with everyday tasks. It might make things like managing money, socialising, or household routines more challenging.
03How are your care teams trained to care and support people with learning disabilities?
All our care teams receive hands-on training from our in-house specialists, with ongoing guidance from experienced professionals.
We also make sure every team member is trained to meet the unique needs of the person they’re supporting so care always feels personal, respectful and right for the individual.
04Do you provide activities?
Absolutely. We take time to find out what brings you joy whether that’s art, sport, or something social. Our care workers can help you access local activities or attend day centres, offering support and companionship along the way.
05What’s the difference between learning disabilities and learning difficulties?
A learning disability affects a person’s intellectual ability across most areas of life, while a learning difficulty does not affect intellect. Instead, it might make learning certain skills, like reading or writing, more difficult.
