Home is more than a building

For many older people in Clydebank, home is not simply a building — it is the street where they raised their children, the kitchen where generations gathered, the garden they have tended for forty years.

Vibrant Health Advocates – Cobalt exists to make sure a loose stair rail, a slippery bathroom floor, or a moment of dizziness does not take all of that away. Working street by street across this Clydeside community, our trained advisers visit older residents in their own homes, assess what puts them at risk, and then get to work.

Trusted Referral Pathway

We work as a bridge between older residents and the statutory services they need, navigating referrals to occupational therapists, community alarm providers, district nurses, and the Council's home-adaptation grant scheme.

Practical support, delivered with patience

The practical work of Vibrant Health Advocates – Cobalt begins the moment a referral arrives. Within five working days, one of our advisers telephones to arrange a home visit at a time that suits. The visit itself is unhurried — we look at every room, ask about night-time routines, and take careful note of what the person themselves says they are worried about.
