Midlothian Council is seeking expressions of interest in the provision of a support service for people with complex profound and multiple learning disability within a newly renovated development in the centre of Loanhead. The service will be provided on a housing with support model.
The development represents a key element of the strategic redesign of Learning Disability services in Midlothian and will support people, regardless of the level, range and complexity of need, to live independently with the same choice, control, and protection as any other citizen, in an environment that enables them to stay safe and empower them to participate in their local community.
The renovation should be complete by July 2024 and will consist of four tenancies and a separate flat for short breaks attached to, but separated from, the main building. The rooms have been designed for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and are accessible and barrier free. The tenants will be a diverse group of people and the support they require will be highly individualised and tailored to their particular needs, strengths and interests.
