    LEARNING DISABILITIES SUPPORT

    Helping people thrive

Personalised support that puts people first

Around 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability but that doesn’t mean they have the same support needs. At Brighter Living, we celebrate people as individuals, and work with each person to put a unique support network in place that will help them reach their potential safely and with dignity.

Freedom to choose

Our goal is for adults with learning disabilities to be as independent as possible. We want to help people lead a safe and happy life and that starts with having the freedom to choose how to live.

To do this, we work alongside individuals and their families, as well as professionals, taking everyone’s wishes into account. We then build a bespoke framework of support around the individual that is designed to help them become more independent, to grow in confidence, and to live a life full of possibilities.

How do we support people with learning disabilities?

We take a holistic approach to support and follow Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) practices. Before recommending and putting support in place, we always take the time to understand a person’s history, personality, preferences and physical health.

Sometimes, people with a learning disability will also have additional physical, mental or emotional needs. We make sure we have the right teams in place for each individual to feel supported in the areas they need. 

Whether this is through supported living or a confidence boost making friends whilst out and about, the support we offer comes down to that person’s individual wants and needs.

In-house Positive Behavioural Support (PBS)

As a company, we fully embrace the PBS approach, which means understanding behaviour rather than reacting to behaviour. At Brighter Living, we are fortunate that we have an in-house PBSP (Positive Behavioural Support Practitioner) who can offer specialist positive behavioural support. By understanding and addressing the reasons behind different behaviours, we can support people to overcome certain challenges, helping them to improve their quality of life.

  • Having seen the accommodation and being introduced to the team I was so confident with leaving our teenager in the hands of Brighter Living!

    Sonia, London (UK)
  • I’m so happy with the fantastic service that has been provided for my son, all the carers at Brighter Living are so helpful.

    Sandra, Reading (UK)
  • We’ve seen such a transformation in ‘Pedro’ since he’s been with Brighter Living care. He’s always telling us where he’s been and what he’s been up to, which never used to happen. It’s lovely to see.

    Pedro’s family member
  • It’s great being part of a company that want to genuinely help and bring out the best in people. It’s a wonderful community to be a part of.

    Brighter Living Employee
  • I like being able to visit the shops and choose my dinners that I enjoy. It makes me feel happy to do things on my own.

    Brighter Living Client/Tenant
  • The change in ‘Phil’s’ demeanour is so rewarding, knowing that we’ve played a part in him becoming more independent and confident in himself. He’s such a joy to be around.

  • Pedro loves dancing and really comes alive when we play music, which we do daily! He’s such an energetic young man and it’s amazing to see how much happiness music brings him.

    Pedro’s Support Worker
  • The support that Brighter Living Care gives our son has really helped his overall happiness and has definitely improved in terms of his behaviour (used to be quite physical). We’re so pleased we made the decision to move him to a new home; he’s happy and thriving.

    Family Member of a client
  • Our incredible and dedicated Carers work really hard to ensure they are offering the utmost care to our clients. We support staff by providing bespoke training to continuously improve the services we offer and in order to understand each of our clients requirements.
