Our services enable people to resume their regular activities of daily living including work, school, recreational activities and personal care and can help people remain independent for as long as possible.
In-patient services cover all acute wards at the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. We receive referrals through the admitting ward. Our priority is the quality of your health, wellbeing and lifestyle. We work in a person-centred way to help you to recover and ensure your wellbeing throughout your hospital stay.
