Ability Centre

The Ability Centre is based within support services. It provides the core elements of services offered to people with a physical disability living in West Lothian.

What does the facility do?

The facility provides a 'Centre of Excellence' in physical disability services. Within the Ability Centre each client has an individual programme working towards agreed goals. This enables clients to recognise and realise their full potential.

Work experience opportunities are available on the reception and cafeteria cash desk. Other supported work experience placements are arranged outwith the Ability Centre, an initiative jointly progressed by a support service officer and a representative of the Job Centre Plus Action Team.

Service Standards

  • assess people and agree with them, their family and carers, an appropriate package of daytime activities
  • provide, either directly or through other organisations, activities under the leadership of trained and experienced managers and which meet our quality standards
  • help people to lead fuller lives by developing self-help and independence skills in domestic and community settings.
