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.

Fantastic care home. Staff are all friendly and very helpful. Plenty of activities to keep the residents occupied. The care my dad receives is above and beyond. Thank you for all you do for my dad. Glad to see he is in good hands.

Today I was able to have my lunch with her, lovely fish and chips! Mum said it was lovely to have a member of the family to eat with her, this is something that she misses now she doesn't have her own home.

My parents were admitted into Kintyre House residential care home in August and my family and I have been incredibly impressed by the care and attention that the staff at the home have provided. My mum, unfortunately, passed away in September however the team afforded us great support throughout such a trying period. Now, my dad has settled well in his new surroundings and enjoys being involved in the daily events that the home arrange. We would really recommend Kintyre House to anyone considering residential care for their loved ones.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home, it is so appreciated by our team. We're so sorry to hear of the passing of your mum, I am sure she will be missed by the whole team, but it is so reassuring to hear how well your dad has settled in with us at Kintyre House. Best wishes.

My father has been in Kintyre House for 6 months and thinks he is staying in a hotel, the care he gets is, in my and my 2 sisters' minds, very good. There are no unpleasant odours when you enter the home and it is always scrupulously clean. My father's health is well monitored and if there is a...
It is with pleasure I would recommend Kintyre House as a safe caring environment for people with Alzheimer's and Dementia, like my 91-year-old father.

The staff have been amazing with my mum. I’m so grateful for the manager (past and present) and her awesome team, from senior nurses to kitchen staff. Everyone has been so good to my mum and her particular needs, nothing is too much trouble and I feel so comforted knowing she’s being looked after by these guys. It’s never an easy decision for your loved ones to go into care but all the staff here are fab and so upbeat, even on my mum's more negative days. Thank you to the entire team, there aren’t enough words for how grateful I am.
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful review of our team and the care we provide. Our team will so appreciate it and it's wonderful to hear how comforted you are knowing your mum is safe in our care. Best wishes, Fae.
This is a great care home with fantastic carers who do an excellent job with the residents. Well done to you all for all the hard work that you do. My mum has settled in really well here and loves being around all the girls and helping them out doing tasks during the day.

There is no longer a quiet room for residents or for visitors to meet with residents as this was turned into an office.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. Our home is proud to have actually improved our Care Inspectorate Rating and Scores since our new management joined us – rather than declined as stated. Our gardens are also currently undergoing a revamp as we speak, adding in some wonderfully colourful flower beds; however, our rear gardens have not changed since our photography was done just over a year ago.Our whole home has recently undergone a refurbishment – benefitting both our residents and staff, leaving plenty of rooms for our residents to relax and enjoy visits from their loved ones.
You are always made to feel welcome and my Aunt is well cared for and she says they are all very nice to her.
