Our services for older people aim to help people enjoy a high quality of life.   We make sure that service-users views and wishes are listened to, and that everyone is dealt with individually.

Once you have been assessed as needing a community care service, you can choose to buy your own services through the Direct Payments scheme or we can purchase them for you.

You can find out more about how we plan and deliver services for older people in the East Lothian Community Care Plan – 2001 to 2004 (pdf).
