Deans House

Deans House is a respite care and short breaks service located in Livingston, West Lothian, operated by West Lothian Council. With 10 beds, it provides short-term, supportive stays for individuals who need temporary care. At its most recent Care Inspectorate inspection in April 2025, Deans House achieved an average grade of Very Good, scoring 4.6 out of 6, reflecting a strong commitment to quality care and positive outcomes for those it supports.

The service specialises in supporting adults with a range of complex needs, including autism spectrum disorders, learning difficulties, mental health conditions, neurological conditions, and visual impairment. This breadth of specialism means families and carers can feel confident that Deans House has the skills and experience to provide tailored, compassionate support during short-term stays.

As a council-run service, Deans House plays a valuable role in offering planned breaks for both individuals and their carers across the West Lothian area.
