HELP & ADVICE

When it comes to finding a good residential care home for your elderly relative or friend, you’ll have lots of questions. We have many years’ experience in discussing the sensitivities of elderly care with people new to the situation, and believe in an open, straightforward and practical approach.

It can be highly reassuring, too, to know that people often have similar questions and concerns, and you’re not alone. Quality of care, staff experience and qualifications and Care Inspectorate reports are reassuring, but equally important are practicalities such as costs, dementia care, end-of-life care, and support for your friend or relative’s individual needs and preferences.

We’ve gathered some general advice and frequently asked questions about residential care for the elderly in Scotland below. We appreciate, however, that every situation is different, and our care ethos is resident-centred and highly personalised, so don’t hesitate to get in touch for more information.
