Kintyre House is in a beautiful location, with stunning gardens and panoramic views across the Cromarty Firth in the port of Invergordon. But it’s the team which make this feel like a warm, family home. Devoted to enriching the lives of their residents, they create activities and experiences which bring them joy.
The team support their residents to have a very active role to play in how the home is run, with resident ambassadors who do everything from running their own knitting group, to helping out on reception, giving them such a sense of purpose and achievement.
And when you walk through the door you are greeted by the home’s administrator of 26 years, who was a finalist in the Care Champion category of the National Care Awards 2023, for her commitment to championing the residents in their roles as ambassadors.
There are so many activities to enjoy, from flower arranging, dancing and live music, to woodland walks in the neighbouring Saltburn Community Gardens, to which there is direct access from the home’s car park. And in the summer, the residents love to have lunch and afternoon tea in the home’s gardens.
Residents also love to get out and about in the home’s minibus, from pub lunches, to visiting the local beaches and surrounding villages and nearby Shandwick House, with its ostriches, alpacas and peacocks. The residents also like to visit their friends at Sanctuary Care’s nearby care home, for a spot of lunch or live entertainment.
Mealtimes are also a highlight of the day, with home-cooked Scottish cuisine served daily, plus home-baking for afternoon tea.
The bedrooms are all tastefully decorated, many have walk-in wet rooms, while some of the ground floor rooms having direct access to the beautiful gardens.
There are lounge areas to enjoy activities or relax with loved ones, who are welcome to visit at any time. Kintyre House also has a family and friends Facebook group.

All staff are very professional, caring and helpful , my mum took a while to settle in but I know that she is safe and starting to enjoy her surroundings. They offer a good variety of activities and mum particularly likes the music afternoons. My mother has a good appetite and really enjoys the food at Kintyre House.

Kintyre House has been a Godsend. I don't have to worry about Mum as she is in the best place. She gets on with the carers and patients, and they get on with her. My mum seems happier in here than at home and I cannot thank the staff enough.

My aunt has lived in Kintyre for a number of years. In that time, she has become increasingly frail and her needs more complex. The staff at Kintyre are caring and compassionate and have adapted how they support my aunt as her needs have changed. They have always responded positively and speedily when I raised concerns and I can tell from the way her face lights up when carers enter the room that she feels safe, valued and loved by the people around her. The activities on offer vary depending on what the residents enjoy and how they are feeling on that day, but what they have in common is fun and dignity. In the last few weeks, my aunt has been really under the weather, and I will never forget the heartfelt compassion shown by staff. This is what we want for our loved ones - to know that when we are not able to be with them, they are with people who show them love and are there with them when they are at their most vulnerable. It is the staff that makes Kintyre special!
Home is always clean and tidy and varied entertainment and trips out are provided.
