Questions families ask

Good learning disability support should be person-centred, promote choice and help people maintain skills and community connections. Ask how communication and decision-making are adapted for each resident.

How many learning disability care homes are there in Brighton and Hove?

25 learning disability care homes in Brighton and Hove are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).
