Learning Disabilities

Seeing the person, not the disability

At Oaktree Homecare, we believe that a learning disability should never stand in the way of living a full, independent, and joyful life. Every person has potential, and our role is to support, encourage, and empower — not to limit. Whether living with family, independently, or in supported housing, the people we serve are at the centre of every decision we make.

Our support workers do more than assist with daily living — they build trusted relationships, foster independence, and help individuals take control of their own lives. Using person-centred approaches, we enable each individual to make real choices about their future, no matter how big or small. And when decisions must be made on someone’s behalf, we act with integrity, always in their best interests, and always with dignity.

Empowerment through understanding and respect

We see ability before disability — even when behaviour is complex or challenging. Our staff are not only thoroughly trained, but deeply committed to supporting people with compassion, patience, and respect. Whether we’re offering sensory stimulation to someone with profound needs, or helping a young adult set up their first home, we meet each person where they are, and walk beside them toward where they want to be.

Our focus is on achievable goals, meaningful growth, and a life that feels self-directed — no matter the nature or severity of the learning disability. Every care plan is personalised, built around the individual’s strengths, aspirations, and rights.

Most importantly, we take great care in matching the right support worker to the right individual — because trust, companionship, and genuine connection are the foundation of every successful care relationship.

💚 Everyone deserves the chance to thrive. Let us help you or your loved one move forward with confidence, purpose, and support that truly understands.
