Residential care in East Lothian

There is support available to help you live independently in your own home, from home care to frozen meals delivery services. But if you're finding that living at home is no longer possible, residential care may be an appropriate solution.

Depending on the outcome of an assessment carried out by one of our social worker assessors, we may be able to help you identify and move into a residential home, as well as providing financial contributions.
