Located close to the River Forth, Forth Bay care home specialises in nursing care. They also offer respite care and compassionate end of life care.
Residents are encouraged to live life as independently as possible. The experienced and well-trained team strive to provide personal, individualised care to each resident. They plan a schedule of regular activities, as well as outings in the home’s own minibus.
Fees are subject to a pre-admission needs assessment which is required to fully understand the level of care and support required by each individual. Premium rooms normally require an additional charge. Nursing fees include the Funded Nursing Contribution (FNC) if you are eligible.
What’s included?
• All care and support including a monthly review of care plans
• All meals, snacks and drinks freshly prepared every day by our chef
• Access to landscaped gardens
• Activities and lifestyle programme
• All utilities and other accommodation costs
• Housekeeping and laundry services

Please note, the weekly fee does not include hairdressing, chiropody or other healthcare visits or appointments not covered by the NHS, toiletries, newspapers or magazines, any over the counter medications that a GP wouldn’t normally prescribe such as paracetamol and indigestion relief, and any other privately arranged healthcare.

My mother has been in Forth Bay Nursing Home for over a year. The building has a pleasant exterior appearance, and my mother's room is very comfortable. All staff members of every grade are very friendly. The carers and head nurses on Cramon Ward look after my mother really well and are genuinely affectionate towards her. Although bed bound my mother is well looked after and has a good quality of life. I visit mum almost every day. It's a pleasant experience all round.
Thank you for your feedback, and for taking the time to write us a review. Please don't hesitate to ask if there is ever anything more we can do to support your mother, or you. We'll do our best to accommodate.
My husband has been very well looked after, the few weeks he has been here. I was disappointed about the activities.

From the first point of communication the staff made us feel very welcome and a part of the care home "family". I could not have wished for a better care home for my dad. It gives me a great sense of comfort that in my dads stage of life he is in the best place possible. I would like to give my heart felt thanks to all of the staff for all they do for us. My dad is looked after and its evident all the staff care for the residents. You all deserve 5 stars.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad to hear that you and your dad felt welcomed and supported right from the start. It's a real privilege to be trusted with his care, and knowing that you feel comforted and reassured means everything to our team. They put so much heart into what...

My mother has been a resident at Forth Bay Nursing Home for almost three years. From the outset, when selecting Forth Bay, we were impressed by the care and attention of staff, and that has continued to this day. At all times, Mum has been treated with respect and incredible kindness and friendliness. This has extended into the local community, where she has been recognised and welcomed to local events. Despite Mum's age and limitations, the staff have all gone out of their way to make her feel included. They have frequently gone the extra mile "to make her feel at home"

suitable to entertain them. There are times when I know my gran is well looked after depending on what team is on that day. Personal care and hygiene could be improved.

Initially, we were made to feel very welcome when being shown around and despite the home maybe not being the most modern and looking a little tired, the most important thing, the care, turned out to be of the highest quality. The full-time staff could not do enough for my aunt and we were impressed with the reviews taking place regularly and being included. The caters, on the whole, were happy and attentive and only occasionally temporary staff appeared to be less interested. I was kept informed of any issues promptly and could see that actions agreed were being taken. Thanks to all - especially the lady on the reception and those on the ward. I know that she was happy staying at Forth Bay.
Thank you for your review, we're glad to hear that you're happy with the quality of care at Forth Bay. We're so sorry for your loss and we hope we made your Aunt's time at Forth Bay as enjoyable as possible. We also really appreciate your honest feedback as it enables our continuous improvement and your comments will be shared with our team.

My wife has been in Forth Bay Nursing Home for just short of two years. My first impressions were very positive. The management, admin staff, catering staff and most importantly, the carers and nurses were all friendly, welcoming and caring in their roles. The premises were smart and clean. This has largely continued to be the case over two years. One reservation concerns the time taken to remedy maintenance issues - in the case of my wife's room: drawers coming apart, curtains handing fixtures and broken safety cover on electric switch mounting. Another regards the turnover of care staff - this seems to have accelerated of late.
Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to leave us a review and for all your comments about our home and the care your wife has received. The care and services we deliver, as a team, to our residents and families are extremely important to us, all your comments and concerns have been shared with the team.

My son has been resident in Forth Bay since January 2020 and he is so well looked after. I am content that the way he is treated is so kind and constant. He is always clean and well dressed whenever I visit him. I don't have a regular day to visit as I am elderly and depend on someone driving me to Kincardine so its lovely to know he is genuinely well attended. I can only say I am happy he is in Forth bay with all the kind and lovely, hardworking staff.
Eleanor, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're happy to hear that your son is receiving such great care at Forth Bay. I will pass on your kind comments to the whole team.

It is this in-depth knowledge of the home that has equipped me well as Home Manager.
I strive to give our residents the care and lifestyle they wish to have and endeavour to involve them in every aspect of their care.
As well as spending time with residents and making sure that they are comfortable, safe and happy, I see it as an important part of my role to act as a mentor to my team. I firmly believe that a happy, fulfilled and motivated team puts us in a better position to consistently deliver a high standard of care.
