A Valuable Respite Break

5

Visit date:

This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Hearing Aid, Wheelchair, Powerchair, Mobility Scooter

Overview

As the National Respite Centre for people with MS Leuchie House is very important. Those with MS, and their carers, need respite from time to time. The staff and volunteers at Leuchie did all they could to ensure that guests had a very good holiday with a variety of entertainment, excellent food, very good physiotherapy and an overall very high standard of care.

Transport & Parking

5

There is ample car parking at Leuchie House. I traveled by community minibus service as did other guests. Some had their own wheelchair accessible vehicles.

Access

4.5

Disabled access is very good. Although Leuchie House is on four levels there are two lifts, one gives to the lower level and the other to the first and second floors. The first is very easy to use. The second is a little more awkward involving pulling two doors shut but staff are always there to assist if necessary. There is more than sufficient seating.

Toilets

4.5

All the toilets, except one on the lower ground level, are accessible with space, grab rails and washbasins easily reachable. On the lower ground level there is a second toilet/ shower room with space, grab rails, etc,

Staff

5

All the staff and volunteers were very helpful all going out of their way to make sure that they guests had a very good respite experience. As I have been several times I received a very warm greeting. It would be wrong to single out anyone who was “particularly helpful” because they all were.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I would recommend Leuchie House to anyone with MS, Parkinson’s, or MND. It is quite simply the level of care that makes Leuchie special. To anyone thinking of trying Leuchie for a first time I would say ‘go for it’. You have nothing to lose and will be very pleasantly surprised.
