We all know there’s no place like home

That’s why each Leonard Cheshire home is unique, and provides the support that’s right for the people who live there. Personalised support helps to make sure everyone can live as independently as they choose.

In the peaceful area of Leith in Edinburgh, Argyle Street is home for five adults with learning disabilities. Our home is on the shoreline of the Firth of Forth, and there is a small outside decking area for you to enjoy. We have pubs, restaurants and parks and the Ocean Terminal shopping centre nearby. And there are great transport links into central Edinburgh.

Is this the place for you?

This is a safe and friendly place to live, with high quality care. The team is dedicated and experienced and will make sure your needs are understood and met – all with the greatest privacy and respect.

The people you’ll meet, the things you’ll do…

Live here and you’ll be supported to be independent, healthy and active. There’s something for everyone and our great team of staff and volunteers run individual and group activities including carpet bowls, creative writing and trips out theatres and bowling alleys. So whatever your interests, from keeping fit to being creative, there’s always something to get involved in.

…will take you to where you want to go

Tell us what you want to do, and we’ll help you get there. Whatever you choose to do, we’ll work with you to make sure it helps you to achieve your goals. Argyle Street is a place where you can feel at home while on your journey to independence.
