Learning Disability Accommodation and Respite Service
Learning Disability Accommodation and Respite Service
West Lothian Council have two residential units which can provide accommodation and care for adults with learning disabilities.
Deans House Interim Residential Unit
Deans House is a purpose-built unit comprising of four independent flats and six core en suite bedrooms with shared communal areas. The aim of the service is to provide interim residential care with opportunities for residents to develop a range of skills necessary for them to move into more appropriate long-term accommodation. For most residents this will be a tenancy. The staff working in the unit will assess and support each resident to learn skills which will enable them to become as independent as possible. This work is done in a person-centred way whilst still ensuring that all family, friends and multi-disciplinary team workers are also consulted.
Who is the service for?
The service is for anyone living in West Lothian, aged from 16 and over with a learning disability who wish to develop a range of skills necessary to move on to more independent living or who require short term crisis intervention.
