At Longmore Road we support seven people who have learning disabilities, epilepsy and other complex needs. We also support autistic adults.

Supporting you

We understand that each individual has their own needs – we work flexibly to make sure these are met. Everyone is supported to take part in meaningful activities according to their needs and wishes.

We use a range of communication techniques with support from a speech and language therapist where required. Everyone has the opportunity to attend house meetings and to be involved in the running of the home, whether this is through cooking, gardening or cleaning.

Our residents are supported to experience opportunities for personal development, both within the home and in the wider community. This may include making use of local sports facilities and social groups as well as going on holiday.

We like to empower the people we support to take control of their own lives. We encourage a family atmosphere so the people we support have a certain level of respect for each other.
