LEUCHIE HOUSE

Our focus at Leuchie is on giving our guests and their families the very best short break experience. By providing the expert care they need to manage their condition, our guests are able to have a proper holiday and enjoy all the things that make it special for them.  With our specialist team, our enabling approach, our stunning location in the East Lothian countryside and our beautiful house, for short breaks with 24 hour care, Leuchie House really is one of a kind. At Leuchie we support people who have MS, who have had a stroke, or who are living with a number of other neurological conditions. We also provide essential breaks for our guests’ carers or family members, either by taking on their caring responsibilites while they are at Leuchie, or enabling them to have a break separately while their loved one is with us.

Every Leuchie break of 4, 7 or 11 nights includes comfortable accommodation with specialised equipment to meet individual needs, personalised care, physiotherapy, delicious home made food, activities, outings and entertainment, and a chance to book relaxing therapies and beauty treatments and the chance to socialise and meet new people – all within the relaxed, comfortable setting of a special country house. For our guests one of the main things that makes Leuchie special is that the care we provide really is person-centred. Through our pre-assessment process, we ensure that Leuchie is the right environment for every guest and that we are in the best position to provide the care they need. We then build a personalised care plan with each of our guests. This means when they come to Leuchie they can relax knowing their care is in expert hands, and they can benefit fully from the unique Leuchie short break package.  

Built in 1779, Leuchie is a classic country mansion which is fully accessible, offering a welcoming, comfortable environment for guests and visitors. The large and airy public rooms have stunning views across the grounds and beautiful, original decorative features. Our recently renovated bedrooms are all light and spacious and are all equipped with electric profiling, height adjustable beds which can be adapted for personal needs, state-of-the-art call system with personal alarm, television and superfast, free Wi-Fi. We are continually updating technology for guest independence and are introducing Alexa smart speakers to some rooms. Bathroom renovations have seen each bathroom fitted with a non-slip wet room, one with a jacuzzi bath with ‘the best views in Scotland!’, alarm systems and hoists.

The extensive private grounds around the house add to Leuchie’s beauty and tranquility and are home to a variety of wildlife. On sunny days our large patio area to the rear of the house is a favourite spot for relaxing, and our lovely summer house means you can enjoy the views whatever the weather. We encourage all guests to explore the grounds to make the most of the wonderful Leuchie estate.

NOAMI HOUSE & JACKSPLACE

We provide individualised care and much needed respite and support for life limited and life threatened children, young adults and the whole family, on the good days, difficult days and last days. This care continues for as long as a family needs. If you would like to discuss any of our services or ask about our facilities, please call the Care Team on: 01962 760555 and we will be happy to help. Respite care gives families the chance to regroup, to relax and to rebalance family life. Naomi House & Jacksplace offers 24 hour respite care and a range of activities to suit the tastes and abilities of the children and young adults in our care. 

Naomi House first opened in 1997 to offer care and support to children who were not expected to live until adulthood. Our children’s hospice provides excellent facilities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for all of our children and families. There are 11 children’s bedrooms and a number of family bedrooms at Naomi House. Additionally, the state of the art building includes spaces for music therapy, art and messy play, a multi-sensory room, a hydrotherapy pool and dedicated spaces for end of life care and post-bereavement support. Our Play Team organise stimulating games and activities for the children staying at Naomi House, with their needs and abilities in mind, as well as organising exciting events and outings too, so there is something for everyone to enjoy.

At Jacksplace, young adults have the freedom to make their own choices, take a break from routine, and enjoy true independence. Whether it’s deciding when to wake up, what to eat, or how to spend their day, they are in control. Every young adult receives personalised care, comfort, and support tailored to their individual needs. From skilled medical staff and thoughtful meal preparation to specialist equipment and emotional support, every detail is considered. We form bonds with the people we spend time with. Jacksplace is a special place where young adults with disabilities can come to socialise, have fun, and just be themselves. It’s a place where they can make friends, get to know the staff, and feel understood.
