Hailed as a stunning example of a modern purpose built care home when it opened in 2005, Methven House continues to display a high level of both comfort and quality.
Methven House provides nursing care on three floors with a total of 60 bedrooms – 58 large single rooms and two double rooms for couples who have decided that the time is right to enjoy round the clock care and attention. The upper floors are accessed by two lifts. All bedrooms are spacious and airy with en-suite toilets and either a shower or a bath.
The top floor features extra large bedrooms and en-suite shower rooms, giving these residents almost unprecedented independence within a comforting cocoon. Methven House also enjoys a wide range of facilities ranging from an in-house hairdressing salon to an internet café.
A state-of-the-art sprinkler system, low surface-temperature radiators and other special safety and security systems have been designed-in, as have sun-pipes to provide natural light wherever possible. Direct-dial telephone system with itemised billing is installed in each bedroom. The nursing home also features specialised bathing facilities and an intercall alarm facility with its own audio link, which alerts staff instantly to any problems and allows instant communication between residents and care staff.
Surrounding Methven House are private landscaped garden areas where residents can take a stroll or simply sit and enjoy the fresh air and flowers.
Ideally located in the heart of Kirkcaldy town centre, the close proximity to the local bus and train stations also places Methven House within easy reach of the many attractions of the surrounding area. Edinburgh is easily reached by both road and rail.
With regular outings to the shops, shows – the famous Adam Smith Theatre is within yards of the nursing home – and other places of interest in the company’s own minibus there is always plenty to do.

As a family we were all so very anxious knowing Dad was moving to a nursing home with no need as Dad has settled in with the help of the staff and management.

My father moved to Methven house 2 weeks ago after losing his wife in December and being diagnosed with bowel cancer himself. We were worried sick and it is the hardest decision my dad and us as a family have ever had to make. I can honestly say every member of staff is so welcoming and friendly and we can sleep at night knowing when Dad gets up to the toilet he is safe. The food is fresh and home made and all staff are so kind to dad and to us when we visit. We can now enjoy quality time with Dad in his lovely room and get him out when the weather is nice. I have worked in care homes myself and am now NHS staff and I have high standards of care. I’m very happy with Methven house and all the staff here. The activities ladies are wonderful and organise fun activities, sing songs and bus trips. I feel the staff here really do care about patients well being and happiness and deserve recognition for all their hard work and dedication.

I don't feel that my husband has to go to sleep in his clothes that he has worn all day and due to this, they don't change his pull-up pants until the next day which I feel is very unsatisfactory. I also supply my husband's pants but the night staff feel it's alright to take them which I don't. I...
I don't feel that my husband has to go to sleep in his clothes that he has worn all day and due to this, they don't change his pull-up pants until the next day which I feel is very unsatisfactory. I also supply my husband's pants but the night staff feel it's alright to take them which I don't. I will put a bill in the next time they are taken.

New management has made an improvement. Displays are updated. New uniforms for staff are smart too. Willingness to speak with relations is also positive. Medical care is great. Mum has had a number of medical infections, I've been informed on every occasion. Fruit is provided to Mum weekly as requested. Mum is still reluctant to be involved with activities so her nails are painted now and again on a one-to-one basis. She likes the attention. Food remains a concern. Mum doesn't like it very much and choice is limited for her plain eating choices.

Overall my wife and I have found her father's experience very positive. Communication from staff and management has been open and clear. The staff have been welcoming and have connected in an open and friendly way. That openness along with opportunities to connect with others through various activities has been helpful. The room is clean and tidy. We are unable to comment on value for money as we, at this moment in time do not know what we are required to pay.

When I first came in February 2022 I was not settled at all. It took a long time for me to settle in. However, now I am a lot more settled because I am treated properly by the staff.

On arrival at the home, there was no one at the reception desk to let us in. There was another visitor waiting who ended up phoning and asked someone to come and let us in! Whilst visiting my mother we wanted to speak to a member of staff but none were to be found. We eventually found four members of staff in a small sitting room off the dining room watching TV. All the while we were there someone’s buzzer was going off and not answered! On leaving the home we went to the main office to make sure my mother had enough funds in her account. There was one member of staff in the office who attended to us reluctantly but again there were other visitors waiting to come in and had been waiting a while and I think if we hadn’t been going out they would have had a longer wait. Staff aren’t very friendly or approachable and not to have reception manned is a poor show!
