With a flexible approach to homemade meals and a meaningful lifestyle program, Haddington supports you to live your way. We offer permanent care, respite care and memory support care in private suites. Our sister community, Millrace, is located nearby.

Restrictive practicesAny action that limits a person’s rights or freedom of movement. It should only ever be a last resort. This measure doesn’t count medicines.
Unplanned weight lossLosing weight without trying, which can lead to other health problems.
Falls and major injuryA major injury means a broken bone, a dislocated joint or a serious head injury.
MedicinesTaking 9 or more medicines at once, and antipsychotic medicines. Antipsychotics given for a diagnosed psychosis aren’t counted.

Each result is the share of the home’s residents, compared with the national figure the government publishes.
