Social, Recreational, and Educational Support

Providing high-quality, specialised care that is fully customised to your unique needs.

At Ailsa Care Services, we work with children, young adults, and elderly clients to support them in many aspects of their personal life.

Our care team understand the numerous mental and physical challenges our service users face, working with them to enhance their ability to thrive in the local community.

We take the pressure off by supporting the arrangement of appointments and visits with doctors, dentists, school, colleges, universities or the workplace and day centres. We understand how daunting these visits can be. That’s why we prioritise both the administrative and emotional support required to make these experiences stress-free. This allows our clients, and their loved ones, to feel comfortable.

Additionally, we encourage our clients, where possible, to engage in social activities that build their confidence, such as meeting friends and family or attending social functions, pubs and clubs, cinema, or theatre. No matter the occasion, our friendly care team will be there to escort and assist clients on these visits.
