What Is a Learning Disability?

A learning disability is a lifelong condition that affects how a person understands information, communicates, and manages everyday tasks. It’s not an illness, and it’s not something that can be “fixed.”

Some people need help with mobility, medication reminders, money management, meals or appointments. Others need 24/7 support. No two people are the same, and neither is the care we provide.

LEANING DISABILITIES

Care with Dignity

If you’re supporting someone with a learning disability, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed but you don’t have to do it alone. At Careline 24, we provide sensitive, personalised home care for adults and young people with learning disabilities, from daily check-ins to 24/7 support. Our compassionate carers understand the emotions families face guilt, doubt, or worry and offer non-judgemental support that fits your routines, builds independence, and makes life feel lighter for everyone. 

What Does Care at Home Involve?:

Our learning disability support is shaped entirely around the person receiving it. Care might include:

  • Personal care – washing, dressing, toileting, continence care
  • Meal preparation and support – help with cooking or eating
  • Medication support – prompts, collecting prescriptions, managing medication
  • Shopping and errands – groceries, essentials, personal items
  • Household chores – light cleaning, laundry, tidying
  • Companionship – someone to talk to, spend time with or share an activity
  • Social support – help going to the gym, a group, or an appointment

We offer visits from as little as 30 minutes, all the way up to live-in care. We also support overnight care, supported living, and respite care so you can rest or take a break, knowing someone trusted is there.

Can Someone With a Learning Disability Be Cared for at Home?

Yes. Many people with learning disabilities live well at home, especially with the right support in place. Home care provides familiar surroundings, consistent routines, and the reassurance of being supported by family, friends, and trusted carers.

Our service is for children, young people, and adults with learning disabilities who want to stay in the comfort of their own homes while receiving professional support.

We offer flexible home care from short daily visits to 24/7 live-in care. Support can include personal care, medication help, meal preparation, social activities, companionship, and respite care for family carers.

Costs depend on the level of care needed from short visits as small as 30 minutes, to live-in support. We provide a free, no-obligation assessment and a clear breakdown of costs before you commit.

We keep teams small and consistent. This builds trust and avoids the stress of “new faces” each week. You’ll know who is coming and when.

Yes. Whether you need a few hours for yourself, an overnight break, or longer respite, we can step in to give you time to rest and recharge while knowing your loved one is safe.

Just call or message us. We’ll arrange a free home visit, create a personalised plan together, and agree on a start date that works for you.

Personalised Care That Starts With Listening

We don’t just look at a diagnosis or a care plan; we get to know your loved one. Before anything starts, one of our care managers will visit you at home for a free, no-pressure assessment. We’ll take time to understand:

  • Daily routines, communication styles, and preferences
  • Likes and dislikes, hobbies and goals
  • Mobility, health needs, allergies, and dietary requirements
  • Your home setup and practical things like parking

Small, Consistent Care Teams

We know that building trust takes time. That’s why we don’t rotate through agency staff or unfamiliar faces. Our carers tend to stay with us and with their clients. That means:

  • You’ll get to know your carers, and they’ll get to know you
  • We can quickly respond to changes or feedback
  • You won’t have to repeat yourself to new staff each week
  • Families know who’s visiting and when

Our carers are all DBS-checked, trained in learning disability support, and selected not just for their experience, but also for their compassion, patience, and emotional intelligence.

Support for Families, Too

We’re not just here for the person receiving care; we’re here for you, too. If you’re a parent, sibling, or family carer, we know how much you carry. From daily routines to emotional support, paperwork to appointments, it’s a lot. When we step in, you’re not just getting help with tasks. You’re getting:

  • A team that listens to you
  • Time back for rest, work, or your other responsibilities
  • Confidence that your loved one is supported by people who understand

Whether you need ongoing care or just someone to check in now and then, you don’t have to do this alone.
