Learning Disability Service

What we do

• We support adults with a learning disability to keep healthy and well

• We help people get support to look after themselves at home and learn new skills
• We will help people with short breaks from their family, if they need them
• We can help people find somewhere to live.
• We can give information about things to do and help people get out and about and meet others.

• The Learning Disability Service will help people to use services like the doctor, the dentist the podiatrist and others.
• We work together with other organisations to provide a better service for people with learning disabilities.
• We offer training and education about learning disabilities.

We will provide people with specialist healthcare if they need it. This could be:

In house registered services are SCSWIS (Care Inspectorate) registered providers. We are fully supported by LD health professionals across Argyll and Bute.
