What care can we provide?
We provide several different levels of care dependent on the requirements of our clients.
Below we give an overview of the different categories of care. Please feel free to contact us and discuss the care required with our qualified nurses.Information on the fees for the care levels can be found here.
The National Care Standards provide details of what each individual person can expect from a care home.
Specialised Dementia
Dementia is a general term which covers many different brain disorders, and goes beyond what might be expected due to normal aging.
With dementia many areas of a person’s brain can be affected. They can have problems with their memory, have a reduced attention span and have problems with communication. They may experience disorientation; such as not knowing which day of the week it is, where they are or who people are.
Frail Elderly
The Frail Elderly care category covers those who are over 65 and suffer from reduced movement or physical disablement. This limits their ability to live independently.
Frail Elder Care differs from Enhanced Residential Care in the level of dependency of the resident. Fully trained nursing staff and a higher level of carers are required within a Frail Elder Care unit due to this.
Young Physically Disabled
People between 65 who require constant nursing care are classed as Young Chronic Sick. They can have neurological or physical disability.
Care Standards
All care homes are regulated by Social Care Social Work Inspection Scotland (SCSWIS). The Care Standards are the guidelines which SCSWIS inspects homes to.
Thinking about care?
Navigating your through the maze of moving into care can be very confusing and emotional. We have gathered together some links from website to help you.
Respite & Convalescence
Respite care is a temporary stay which allows you and your carers to have a break, or to allow you to evaluate a home before deciding if you want to move in permanently.
Convalescence care allows for someone who was in hospital to come to the care home for a period of time to allow them to fully recover from their illness.
