We are registered with the Care Inspectorate and have recently been recognised by the them as “leading the way in innovative, combined health, care and technology which delivers a lasting impact”. We undergo rigorous regular inspections for your added peace of mind and security. Read the report.
Physiotherapy
While you're here, Louise will help create a programme that’s just right for you. This personalised support, along with assessments and referrals to local healthcare professionals, is a unique service in Scotland—ensuring you get the best care, tailored to your need.
The team can give you invaluable advice on exercise, transfers, wheelchairs, posture and positioning. Our group exercise classes are a fun way to try out gentle routines.
Our therapy room has a wide range of specialist equipment to support different abilities, including standing frames, a VibroGym, and Motomed exercise bikes – which we also have available throughout the house. In addition, our pressure mapping system can help highlight potential pressure issues and avoid hospital visits.
Occupational therapy
Katie can show you the latest independent living equipment to help you to live more independently when you return home. She also offers baking sessions in our adapted kitchen, using specialised tools to give you more confidence and independence. With her experience in anxiety and sleep management, Katie is here to support your overall wellbeing.
Tailored to you
From the point you book a break at Leuchie, we’ll start to put together a personal care plan for you. We’ll ask you to provide information about your condition, medication and care needs. This will help make sure Leuchie is right for you and, if so, means we can start putting in place the care package you need.Â
One of our nursing team will phone you before your break to talk in more detail about your needs so that your care plan is ready when you arrive.
I received more help from Leuchie’s OT than I’ve had in years. It has made such a difference to my mental and physical health.
Provided by healthcare professionals
We are the only respite place in the UK to combine specialist nursing, physio and occupational therapy with healthcare technology. We proactively improve health, re-enable independence and reduce the loneliness endured by people with a neurological condition and the loved ones who care for them, while providing families with a respite break.
Technology enabled care
We offer 1-2-1 digital skills sessions and assistive technology workshops for guests. We have integrated SMART technology into all of our bedrooms and created a SMART flat comprising a kitchen, living area, bedroom and ensuite bathroom which will allow you to test and trial available technologies and products for yourselves.
