Who can we support?
We work alongside many people in different scenarios, including:
- Local authorities and councils requiring support to care for an individual in challenging circumstances, often where families are in crisis or their current care provision has broken down or is no longer suitable
- Social workers requiring support with an individual related to complex care, respite, and learning or intellectual disability. This includes liaising with community nursing teams or multidisciplinary teams to ensure supportive and effective communication for the individual and their family
- Case managers, as an interim provision until the individual’s care package is complete
- Hospital discharge coordinators looking to discharge someone with the right support
- Service users seeking compassionate and reliable care for themselves at home
- Care providers who need quality professionals to ensure patient safety, bridging a gap until permanent workers can be found
Why choose us for learning disability care?
At the Guild, we’re experts in providing learning disability care and support for people with intellectual challenges including autism, Down syndrome, sensory impairments, and conditions that cause behaviours of distress.
Our Learning Disability Clinical Lead and Case Managers, who are also registered nurses, work closely with individuals, their families and the wider multidisciplinary team to match each person’s care to their needs, helping them to manage everyday tasks, develop independence, and improve their quality of life. They are in regular contact with our specialist nurses and healthcare assistants to ensure good communication throughout to provide stability, consistency and continuity of care.
We work across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, recruiting to standards that exceed local regulations and guidelines. And we’re available wherever you live (including the remotest places), day and night, seven days a week, even at short notice.
The cost of learning disability community care
The cost of learning disability and intellectual disability support depends on individual needs and circumstances.
We’ll carry out a clinical assessment at the beginning and provide an accurate estimate of costs. We’ll also talk you through what will be involved so you know exactly what to expect from the Guild.
