Our Vision
At Braid Health and Wellbeing, we see an ageing population as an opportunity, rather than a challenge and one which is vital for the progression of society. We are working hard towards delivering radically different approaches to providing our care and support for those experiencing conditions of ageing.
Our aim is to develop a wide variety of mental and physical wellbeing services, which are accessible to all. So whether your passion is singing, dance, films, being active, mindfulness, knitting, building things or just chatting away to like-minded folk… we’ve got something for you.
Activity Clubs and Classes
We provide activities such as relaxation classes, exercise classes, art classes , and much more. We also have regular performances from musicians and magicians. These activities can be accessed for free by our Day Service clients .
Digital Support
We have KOMP Devices available on loan. Contact us to find out more.
Sensory/Specialist Rooms
We have created two wonderful sensory rooms within our centre which are available to hire. These rooms provide a calming and nurturing experience. They are aimed at supporting people with dementia and younger adults who have disabilities or learning difficulties. We also rent them out for anyone running relaxation or wellbeing classes. Take a look at our price list or if you would like to tour the space, please email Us.
Event Space
We have a range of rooms which can be hired out for events and activities, alongside a large, fully equipped kitchen. Our biggest space, which is linked to the kitchen via a hatch, can hold up to 60 people for dining. We also have a variety of smaller rooms including rooms perfect for a board meeting or for interviews. Take a look at our price list or if you would like to tour the space, please email Us.
Day Service
We support elderly, vulnerable and isolated individuals through our Day Service based in Livingston, West Lothian. This is a supportive environment in which people can socialise, take part in a range of meaningful activities and learn new skills. Popular activities include quizzes, arts and crafts, reminiscence activities, word games, armchair exercises, knitting, using the model railway and bingo. We also bring entertainers into the centre regularly and we run day trips to shows and musical events.
We have spaces for both local council referred clients and self-referred private clients. For those referred by their social worker who are eligible for a council place, the cost of the service to them will be means assessed by the council. For private clients, there is an option for both a full day or a half day. Contact us to self refer to the service.
Review
“My son Paul attended the dark room today and we were met with friendly faces. We were taken round to the room by Tasha and my first impressions of the centre was that it had a lovely welcoming “feel”. Paul was really looking forward to using the sensory room and indeed it didn’t disappoint. Paul and his PA really enjoyed the experience and Paul is really looking forward to coming back. He couldn’t wait to tell his dad all about it and became very animated when chatting about it. As a parent I was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere and standards in the centre. I will be recommending the room to our friends who’s sons/daughters may benefit from the rooms. Could I also add the rooms are ideally situated away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. The staff I met today were lovely”
