About Longworth CMS
Longworth CMS provides support to adults with learning disabilities and to autistic adults living in their own homes across Newcastle Upon Tyne. Nearly everyone we work with is a younger adult, and the point of our work is an ordinary life rather than a managed one. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We say so because it reflects how we have chosen to work: small consistent staff teams matched to the person, support that gets out of the way wherever it can, and real effort put into communication so that people make their own decisions rather than having decisions explained to them afterwards. In practice we support people to run their own homes, to manage money, to get to work or college, to keep appointments, to see friends and family, and to handle the parts of daily life that are genuinely difficult. Where personal care or health support is needed we provide it thoroughly, and we work with GPs and community teams when specialist input helps. We match staff to people carefully, because the relationship is the work. A support worker who understands somebody can tell when something is wrong long before it becomes a crisis.
