Learning Disability Care by AMG

What a learning disability package looks like at AMG Nursing & Care Services

Autism with a Learning Disability

When autism is accompanied by a learning disability, individuals may struggle with communication, sensory processing, and daily routines. AMG Nursing supports people with autism through specialist staff, structured routines, and tailored care plans that address individual triggers, preferences, and abilities.

Our team works closely with families and professionals to ensure continuity of care, particularly for residents in our autism care homes, where environments are carefully designed to reduce anxiety and encourage independence.

Down Syndrome

AMG supports individuals with Down syndrome across a range of care settings, from in-home support to specialist Down syndrome care homes. We understand that every individual has different strengths and challenges, so we tailor support to encourage independence while ensuring health and safety.

Our teams are trained to assist with both physical health (including cardiac care and mobility) and life skills such as cooking, personal hygiene, and communication. We also support access to education, employment, and community engagement.

Global Developmental Delay in Adulthood

Although global developmental delay is often diagnosed in early childhood, it can continue to affect individuals well into adulthood—especially when cognitive, communication, or motor challenges persist. AMG provides long-term care solutions for adults with global developmental delay in adulthood, offering personalised plans that evolve as needs change over time.

Our focus is on helping individuals develop essential life skills while maintaining a high quality of life, whether through supported living or full-time residential care.

Autism and Global Developmental Delay

For those living with autism and global developmental delay, support needs are often complex and wide-ranging. AMG Nursing provides highly structured care environments that help individuals feel secure, understood, and empowered.

Our specialist teams use consistent routines, visual communication tools, and therapeutic interventions to support behavioural challenges and enhance independence. Autism care homes managed by AMG are equipped to meet both behavioural and developmental needs under one coordinated care plan.

Severe or Complex Learning Disabilities

Individuals with severe learning disabilities often require 24-hour care and assistance with all aspects of daily living. AMG delivers this care with compassion and professionalism, whether it’s through one-to-one in-home nursing or in a residential setting.

We support clients with mobility needs, sensory impairments, feeding assistance (including PEG feeding), and complex medical conditions. AMG’s multi-disciplinary approach brings together nurses, therapists, and support workers to deliver cohesive, person-centred care that focuses on quality of life.

Understanding Learning Disability Severity

Learning disability severity can be classified as mild, moderate, severe, or profound, and AMG’s services are designed to flex across this spectrum. Whether supporting a person with mild needs who is building independence or providing full-time care to someone with profound disabilities, AMG ensures each care plan is uniquely tailored.

We work closely with families, GPs, and local authorities to assess needs and deliver care that is not only clinically sound but also deeply respectful of the individual’s rights, goals, and preferences.
