Care Homes Owned by Meallmore Ltd in Highland

The happy atmosphere and sheer profesionalism of the staff have put paid to any anxieties we had about Dad moving here. Since he arrived following a decline after a major health event, Dad has settled in nicely and is thriving. Staff are easily approachable and friendly and have tailored their caring for our Dad's needs. Moving your loved one into a care home is a daunting experience and requires adjustments for the whole family. Redwoods are supportive all the way. Our family feel we hit the jackpot here.

We couldn't wish for a better place for our sister! She is well cared for and the staff could not do more for her. There is always lots to do and they often put special events on. The home is kept clean and tidy and allow the residents to make their room a real home from home!

They try their very best to get our friend to take part in the many activities in the home but she doesn't want to get out of her bed and they respect her wishes.

When he arrived, he was struggling significantly with past trauma, feeling anxious. The team invested in his emotional wellbeing with profound patience & empathy. Through their person-centred approach, they provided an environment that enabled trust building. They took time to understand his history, his triggers & tailored care accordingly to foster a sense of security. Seeing him recover his sparkle is immensely comforting. They've nurtured him & treated family as true partners to care.

Always a warm welcome on entry with an offer of coffee/cake! My mother has been well cared for since September 2024, Although she is bedridden she is often visited by carers who she enjoys chatting to anytime. Management keeps me well informed via email which is reassuring. I know my mother will be cared for at the end of life - her wish is NOT TO BE MOVED. The staff overall are friendly, caring and pretty cheerful!

Mum was in St Olaf in June 2026 for two weeks respite care. She was very happy and settled for her stay and was well looked after - she especially enjoyed the daily activities. I have nothing but praise for the Manager (Kath) and all her staff. I would definitely put Mum there again.

The staff are friendly, warm and compassionate and are very supportive of me as well as Mum.

Thank you to everyone in the team.

This i am confident is an establishment that cares for its residents and staff alike to make this feel like home.

Caroline was extremely helpful and covered all aspects of Christine's care. She put us totally at ease and asked if we had any concerns - which we do not. She was very helpful, checking staff available on shift when we will be visiting for Christine's 90th birthday. We, as a family, are delighted with the care Christine receives and are very grateful to all carers, nurses, kitchen staff, entertainment. Just 'thank you' all.

We are so relieved to have got dad into Daviot after a year spent between 2 hospitals where his condition was rapidly deteriorating, more so than the dementia. The staff at Daviot have been superb, and this has lifted some of the weight from mum. We know there are difficult times ahead, but we now feel supported in a way we did not by the hospital staff and confident that Dad is being given the care and dignity he deserves.

Daviot Care Home has made my mum's life enjoyable, safe and given her a new lease of life over the last 13 months. She is happy again, has restarted eating properly, and is engaging with others, both staff and residents. I feel safe in the knowledge Mum is well looked after, receives great care, and has a range of enjoyable and fun activities to join in with. Mum's care is well documented and I feel the care home staff at all levels know my mum and treat her very well.

I am so happy Mum is in this care home, I have absolutely no concerns at all. Mum is very happy here, it's clean, she is well looked after. All staff extremely friendly and very helpful.

My dad, Robin, was at Daviot Care Home until he passed away in January. During his time here, he was happy, relaxed and extremely well cared for. The staff treated him with dignity and respect and created a homely, stimulating environment. He had friends, community and quality of life in his last years. The catering is of a particularly high standard. When Dad's health began to deteriorate as his Alzheimer's progressed, staff supported him round the clock, with expertise and great competence as he died peacefully.

My mother has a very positive experience during her short stay in St Olaf and I would thoroughly recommend this home to others needing care.

Mum's Alzheimers progressed and she passed away on 5/2/2026. The staff were exemplary in their care of Mum/Nan during her final days. Mum/Nan being a retired nurse tutor would have been so proud.

Mum moved into St Olaf in August 2025. It was a huge change for her having been fiercely independent all her life. After going for a visit "to see what she thought"; she said she felt she could be happy there. Fast forward 6/7 months and she is totally at home and enjoys it. The staff are welcoming/friendly and actually spend time with the residents, not just to support their care needs. I regularly see ladies having their hair put in rollers, nails painted or staff supporting activities. There are daily activities for residents and family are encouraged to join in.

The home is always clean and warm and mum is well looked after, I have peace of mind because I know mum is happy and safe. We can come and go, visiting when we like, just as we did when mum was living in her own house, we can even stay for lunch or dinner if we want to.

Mum is more mobile since moving in, her health is the best it's been for over a year.

I couldn't have greater peace of mind with the care my wife receives at Daviot Care Home. Without exception the staff are totally dedicated to all the residents, they are kept safe and cared for to the highest standard, meals, personal care and activities are first class. My wife seems very content and that is a real blessing.

Excellent communication

The standard of quality care remains consistently high with dedicated long serving staff who are compassionate and caring.The home is clean, comfortable and provides a homely welcoming environment. The food is tasty and nutritious . There is a high staff / resident ratio and regular activities. Mum was welcomed like an old friend and so enjoyed her holiday - even making Dad a Valentine Card at the art class ! The respite care allowed Dad a chance to rest and recharge. The staff were very aware of his needs too and provided invaluable support to him and to us as a family. To all the Team at Culduthel , you are awesome ! Please know how appreciated you are .
