Support that’s tailored to each individual

Like everything with Lifeways, our approach puts the individual at the heart of all that we do. It means we listen, we learn, and we build a relationship alongside building a support plan that’s totally unique to each person.

We’ve been supporting people living with learning disabilities for more than 25 years. So we understand that the challenges people face can vary, ranging from mild symptoms through to more severe and challenging traits. 

That’s why our support varies too, with flexibility that allows us to adapt our approach to each individual, with the aim of helping them live their best life - regardless of their needs.

“I realised I needed to move on and out of my parent’s house. I like the fact that I can get out on my own and be more independent.”

Location options for those with learning disabilities

There’s plenty of choice and flexibility within our locations too. Our supported living apartments provide stylish and purpose-built surroundings that ensure people can live with independence in their own home. 

For those with more complex support needs, our residential care provides an environment where people can live with the reassurance of one-to-one care in a community setting.

Whatever the situation, we’ll always work seamlessly with individuals and their families, as well as landlords and local agencies. The result? Totally tailored, community-based support that improves lives.

"New communication methods have given Simon the confidence to manage everyday tasks that were previously overshadowed by anxiety."
