Compassionate, Skilled Care That Respects Every Individual’s Voice and Needs in a Comfortable Caring Environment Tailored to you, that feels like home

At Chiltern Support and Housing Ltd, we provide specialist, high-quality support for individuals with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD). Our approach combines expert care with empathy, recognising the unique needs, rights, and potential of each person we support.

Individuals with PMLD often experience a combination of significant learning disabilities, physical health needs, sensory impairments, and complex medical conditions. We ensure they are supported by skilled teams in safe, adapted environments where health, comfort, communication, and meaningful experiences are central to daily life.

Specialist Environments That Feel Like Home

We provide fully adapted, community-based living environments designed to meet the complex physical and sensory needs of people with PMLD. These homes include:

  • Specialist equipment (such as hoists, profiling beds, accessible bathrooms, and sensory technology)
  • Accessible layouts for mobility aids and postural support
  • Calm, sensory-aware environments tailored to individual comfort
  • Opportunities for social interaction, stimulation, and engagement

Our aim is to support people to live full and meaningful lives in the community, while receiving the skilled care they need in settings that feel like home—not hospitals.

What Our PMLD Support Includes

  • 24/7 personal care and clinical support
  • Specialist feeding support (e.g., PEG) and nutrition plans
  • Epilepsy and respiratory care, tailored to individual health needs
  • Communication support using sensory cues, body language, facial expressions, and assistive technology
  • Engagement in meaningful sensory and therapeutic activities
  • Close collaboration with families, advocates, and clinical professionals
  • Regular health monitoring and risk assessments led by trained staff
  • Therapeutic input from external or in-house services (e.g., physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy)

  • Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention to Risk Management

Tools We Use

Our support teams are trained to use a range of specialist assessment and risk management tools, chosen based on the individual’s needs and circumstances. These may include:

  • HCR-20 – A structured clinical guide for assessing the risk of violence and managing behavioural concerns.
  • ARMIDILO-S – A tool specifically designed to assess and reduce the risk of offending in individuals with intellectual disabilities.
  • Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention Plans – Personalised strategies to support emotional wellbeing and reduce risk.
  • Fire-Setting Risk Plans – Focused management plans for individuals who present with fire-related behaviours or risks.

All risk assessments and strategies are carried out in close partnership with the person we support, their families (where appropriate), local authorities, probation services, health professionals, and other safeguarding partners. This collaborative approach ensures that every plan is robust, transparent, and focused on both safety and personal progress.
