Craigie House Residential Care Home is located in the village of Crossgates, sharing its grounds with Alexander House Nursing Home, both of which are now proudly owned by Holmes Care Group.
This former mansion, with its striking Victorian frontage, was thoughtfully renovated to combine the charm of its period features with modern care and comfort. The result is a home where residents truly feel at ease.
Craigie House can accommodate 27 residents in spacious single-occupancy rooms, the majority of which are equipped with en-suite toilet and shower facilities.
The upper floors of Craigie House are accessible by lift, while the lounges and dining areas are conveniently located on the ground floor, offering easy access to the beautifully landscaped enclosed garden areas. Residents can enjoy the outdoor space, whether they wish to take a stroll or simply relax and enjoy the flowers and fresh air.
Although nestled in the heart of Crossgates, Craigie House benefits from a predominantly rural setting while remaining close to the attractions of nearby towns such as Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy.
Residents are invited to participate in a wide range of activities, from regular outings in the home's minibus to local shops, shows, and other places of interest. Inside the home, the Activities Team provides a full programme of activities, including exercise classes, reminiscence sessions, arts and crafts, and games. Live concerts featuring professional entertainers are also a regular highlight at Craigie House, ensuring there is always something to enjoy.

Most things are good , but we have been waiting months to get a window fixed which won't close and water damage in the ceiling and extremely poor water pressure in the shower. The staff are great and the activities seem good

My mum was referred to Craigie House for a 6 week assessment period after hospitalisation. She had cancer and was quite poorly when admitted. Her condition deteriorated and sadly she passed away on Sunday 11th June. The staff were excellent at Craigie House, particularly in the difficult 7-10 days prior to Mum's death. The care provided was compassionate and very caring. Mum was looked after extremely well. We were in awe of the way staff did their very best for Mum even when she was being a bit stubborn. They showed great patience and professionalism. The room Mum was in was small but initially, the expectation was that she would not be at Craigie House long term so this was understandable. It would have been helpful to have improved telephone contact with Mum as she was on the first floor and this made things a wee bit difficult. Overall our impression was extremely positive and although staff were stretched they had a smile for everyone. We were grateful for all their hard work and dedication.
Thank you for your kind words, it is greatly appreciated!
My mum's gate has been broken by a resident for a few weeks now and not yet fixed. Because of this, other residents are walking into her room and disturbing her and today even physically shaking them. My mum was shaking when I came in to visit her and angry. Can we please have this gate repaired...
My mum's gate has been broken by a resident for a few weeks now and not yet fixed. Because of this, other residents are walking into her room and disturbing her and today even physically shaking them. My mum was shaking when I came in to visit her and angry. Can we please have this gate repaired and put back on the door asap?
Thank you for your comment. We take all concerns very seriously and are keen to investigate to ensure the well-being and safety of all residents. Please email craigie.manager@kingdomhomesltd.co.uk so we can discuss this further.
All the staff are very helpful and friendly and go above and beyond to ensure my mother is taken very well care of. She is very happy here. Rooms and en-suite bathrooms are a good standard and all areas are kept immaculately clean and tidy.
