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.

I am extremely impressed with the care my mother receives, especially the instant medical attention when required. My only small reservation is that not all staff realise how poor mother's comprehension is: she is an expert in disguising the fact. On entering the building one can sense that this is a happy place with contented staff and management.
I have found staff to be caring and kind to my Mother in Law.

The care my Mother in Law received from staff at Kintyre was 5 star, from the first meeting in the hospital to the day she died. Staff were caring, fun and dedicated and made her final months the very best she could have had. I would highly recommend Kintyre to anyone.
