Leuchie at Home

Leuchie at Home works in partnership with East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership. We offer this service to those who have a long-term neurological condition or stroke as their primary condition, who live in East Lothian (Dunbar to Port Seton). Each person is given at least 2 hours each week, allowing their partner/carer time to themselves, using this valuable time in a variety of ways from shopping or meeting a friend for coffee, to catching up with the gardening. The person being looked after by a volunteer has the opportunity to choose how they would like to spend their time. The service operates Monday to Thursday during daytime working hours.

Volunteers are thoroughly checked, trained and supported through this process.

The service does not offer nursing or personal care.

We may not be able to offer support to a person who has dementia. If you would like to find out more about the service or become a volunteer companion for our Leuchie at home Service, please get in touch.
