Braid Health & Wellbeing

Our Day Service, based in Livingston, West Lothian, is a supportive environment in which clients can socialise, take part in a range of meaningful activities and learn new skills or re-learn skills for daily living. We have spaces for both local council referred clients and self-referred private clients.

We are currently hold a range wellbeing support options, so that people can access our services in a way that works for them. This includes, a carer support group, a tea and chat group and early onset support group.

We also run Life Skills Courses which are an opportunity for individuals to learn and re-learn life skills. Suitable for individuals living with dementia or neurological conditions, mental health conditions, disabilities or learning difficulties and individuals in the ageing process. Any activity that is meaningful, useful or rewarding to an individual can be considered a life skill. These skills allow a person to make the most of their life. Life skill activities enable a person to maintain their independence, promote mobility, balance and coordination and reduce deconditioning.

With assistance from our occupational therapist we can help you reach specific goals to maintain, improve or learn new life skills, whether this is cooking a meal, making the bed or safely using the shower or bath. We will create a plan with you over an agreed timeframe to reach your goals.

Braid Health and Wellbeing is based within a large building with many rooms of different sizes which are all available for rent. We have a light and dark sensory room and one of the largest kitchens in Livingston. Our sensory rooms, sometimes known as snoezelen rooms, consist of a variety of equipment to give sensory experiences for the senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and movement) in a controlled environment. We have plenty of space for activities and events that are available to rent either on a one-off or regular basis.
