Independent Supported Living
for adults with Learning Disabilities
We have six supported living schemes in Newcastle upon Tyne, enabling adults with learning disabilities to live as independent a life as possible.
The service is tailored to meet individual needs and supports people living in their own tenancies ensuring that they can exercise choice and control over their lives.
“My sister is able to live as full a life as she is able, is exceptionally well looked after by dedicated, caring professionals who take great care to meet her individual needs as well as social needs.”
Accommodation Placements
for adults with Learning Disabilities
St Cuthberts Care is committed to enabling people with disabilities to live a life of their choice and to enable them to develop to their fullest potential.
Adults with learning disabilities deserve the same from life as the rest of us: to be valued as individuals with the individual freedoms and choices that are inherent in any modern democracy. We value each of our service users as individuals and provide them with the respect with which they deserve to be treated.
Our residential homes across the region support and encourage those people who need help with everyday tasks and need round-the-clock care.
Working with other professionals, we ensure that a person-centred approach is delivered in a sensitive and appropriate manner. We carefully tailor a support plan for each individual that offers them the right level of support for their needs, ambitions and aspirations and helps them to develop the various life skills they will need to maintain their independence and gain confidence as a full and equal member of the community.
