Learning Disability Supported Accommodation

Design Principles

(May 2017) KCC expects there to be significant growth in supported accommodation for people with learning disabilities as part of the Transformation Project, Your Life Your Home. We invite any developer of supported accommodation to engage with us at an early stage for information on need, location, design and so that we can forward plan potential tenants.

Design considerations

The design of the accommodation, selection of equipment, signage, internal colour

and finishes and landscaping should enable the independence of people who have mobility problems, may be physically frail, or who may have a visual, hearing or

cognitive impairment. It is recommended to use contrasting doorframes against paintwork and doors. Flooring should not be highly patterned and should not be the same colour as the walls or doors. Consideration should be given to adequate sound proofing of walls and ceilings. Ceilings need to be strong enough to hold an overhead hoist, if needed in future. The layout of bedrooms also need to accommodate the use of a hoist e.g. a direct line from the bed to the bathroom.
