Facilities

Our award winning homes have a wide range of facilities of which residents are encouraged to make full use.

Based on recommendations of design good practise from the University of Sterling University’s Dementia Services Development Centre, and many years experience of designing and building our own homes, our facilities focus on being fit for purpose, while still retaining a luxury feel.

Corridors are wide and spacious to minimise feelings of being restricted. Doorways often have different murals for ease of identification. Contrasting colours and specially developed signage help orientation. Gardens are easily accessible with clearly defined pathways

  • Must be one of the nicest places I’ve ever seen!

  • Well. It’s just beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Whoever’s built it has done a damn good job!

  • Yes, the place is absolutely gorgeous, absolutely fabulous and very tastefully done.

  • This is the most beautiful home with the most caring staff, and excellent management. This should be the blue print for all care homes and I feel so lucky to have found it.

  • This is an outstanding care home with friendly and approachable staff. On a first impression it reminds me of a five star hotel. My grandma settled in from day one!

  • It’s very impressive, obviously finished to a very high standard, very roomy, yes am mightily impressed.

  • My husband was in for respite, it was relief to leave him somewhere so safe.

  • There’s space for people to sit around and have their own time. Absolutely stunning.

  • He loved the food. He had two lunches most days and a cooked breakfast!

  • I’ve never seen anything like it.

  • He settled in quickly and everyone loved him.

  • Yes this home is like a 5* Hotel and the care is also 5*, my mum was in here for respite and the care she received was wonderful.

  • It’s good really, like a first class hotel for me, that’s my thoughts.

  • I would recommend this care home to anybody. The facilities are great, the staff are excellent, efficient and very caring – deserves 1st prize in the awards.

  • The staff are lovely and the facilities are second to none.

  • I’m just blown away to be honest with you. I’ve never seen a place like it in my life. It looks good from the outside even. When you come inside it’s like walking in heaven and that’s where I’ll be when I come here.

  • Wow, this place is amazing.

  • I’d be happy to put either of my parents in here.

  • Yes. I could live here quite happily. Yes. I’m 76 years old and my husband is 82. We don’t live very far away so it would be like a real home from home.

  • Its amazing, so much thought has gone into this.

  • The care my father has received has been second to none. I cannot thank you enough for the work you do. You are a shining example of how a nursing home should be run.
