Until relatively recently most people who suffered from alcohol related brain damage would spend the remainder of their lives in inappropriate institutional care, often in hospital.
We believe that offering people their own tenancy within a supported environment as well as providing housing and personal support helps service users to maximise their independence and lead fuller lives.
We have been providing services to people with mental health problems since 1990, helping people to move from an institutional care setting to their own home in the community.
All of our service users have their own support plan which is developed and continually revised to meet their own needs and aspirations. All service users are encouraged to be fully involved in the process as well as assisting in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the support they receive.
For more than 10 years we have been providing services to people with learning disabilities across Scotland. As well as providing support directly we also lease properties to other agencies that provide support services.
We actively encourage service users towards greater independence in living a full and satisfying life.
Loretto started providing services to homeless people in 1994 when it took over the running of the Great Eastern Hotel in Glasgow. Working with colleagues in Social Care and Housing we re-housed 60 residents in existing Council accommodation and the remaining 60 were re-housed in new properties built by Loretto in various locations in Glasgow.
Since then we have developed a number of similar services for people throughout central Scotland, providing services to a wide range of people in need.
