Our aim is to ensure that those who use our services get the very best out of Ark to enable them to live as independently as possible and lead a happy life.
**Linlithgow**:
Linlithgow Service supports 9 people. There is 3 people in a House of Multiple Occupancy and 6 in their own individual homes. All the houses are situated round one courtyard which means there is a real community feel amongst both the Supported People and the Support Workers. Support needs within the service range from 24 hour a day support (including using the hoist and personal care) to those who just need help with finances, shopping and social.
Our support workers support our people using a person centered approach to live their lives to their full potential and to feel included in the community.
We have 1 and 2 bedroom flats, some of our supported people need 24 hour support and others only need short periods of support.
We offer a personalised service to meet the individual’s needs this includes support to maintain their tenancies, finances, personal care, health & social support.
There is a bus stop outside with buses going into Edinburgh, Falkirk, Grangemouth, Bo'ness and the surrounding villages. The train station is a 4 minute walk from the service and we also have car parking available on site.
Shifts at Linlithgow range from 4 hours to 16 hours and there are 3 sleepover shifts per day.
