The happy atmosphere and sheer profesionalism of the staff have put paid to any anxieties we had about Dad moving here. Since he arrived following a decline after a major health event, Dad has settled in nicely and is thriving. Staff are easily approachable and friendly and have tailored their caring for our Dad's needs. Moving your loved one into a care home is a daunting experience and requires adjustments for the whole family. Redwoods are supportive all the way. Our family feel we hit the jackpot here.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback about your mum's care. We're delighted to hear that she's happy, well looked after, and so well thought of by the team - that truly means a great deal to us. We really appreciate you raising your concern about her clothing. While our laundry processes are designed to meet important infection control standards, we completely understand how frustrating it is to see favourite outfits affected. Your comments are helpful, and we will review this with the team to see where we can be more mindful with synthetic fabrics wherever possible.

My wife has been a resident for some time now having transferred from hospital after a significant episode. She had spent a considerable amount of time in hospital and whilst her medical needs were met, understandably, her social care was very poor. Redwoods has a tranquil setting with a stable workforce (no agency) and they get to know the residents very well. Therefore her social needs have been met beyond expectations. Of course, my family's concern was whether her medical care would be up to scratch. We needn't have worried. The level of expertise demonstrated by the staff has been truly exceptional. The comfort and lack of stress this has given to all members of the family has been immense.
My sincere gratitude to all staff members at Redwoods.

My father became a resident at Redwoods Nursing Home 4yrs ago & I can honestly say the care & attention he has received has been exceptionally brilliant. He has not always been the easiest to deal with but all staff have been brilliant. Due to the care & kindness my father has received my mother decided there was no better place for herself to see out her last years but in Redwoods also. She has been a resident there now for nearly 6mths & I am amazed how well she has settled in. She is looking so much happier & healthier since going there. She's never been one for mixing with others but the staff have made her feel so welcome. She says she's feels like part of a family

The team at Redwoods are professional, compassionate and simply put, the very best. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who finds themselves in need of the service they provide. My mother has been cared for at Redwoods for nearly two and a half years. I see the staff go above and beyond to make their residents as comfortable and happy as possible. There are lots of activities, interaction with the local schools, and music. Nursing care is of the highest standard and everyday care is carried out with the greatest of respect , dignity and good humour. Food, laundry, maintenance and other behind the scenes work is clearly done by people who care. Well done to everyone at Redwoods Carehome.

I'm very happy with the staff at Redwoods and would like to note my appreciation of their patience, care and kindness they show my friend. I am well aware that my friend "has his days" and can take it out on the very people who are helping him. I am concerned about the situation regarding my friend's TV. I first raised the issue with his faulty remote control several weeks ago. Nothing has changed sadly- the remote doesn't work. I'd like to see my friend set a new flat screen TV so that he can choose what to watch and maybe even watch music or online streaming services.

My mother has been a resident at Redwoods Nursing Home for the past nine months. The caring and supportive staff eased the transition for both the resident and relatives. The home has an open and inclusive feel - all staff are very welcoming. Mum settled very quickly in this secure environment. The recent appointment of an activities co-ordinator, and the wide spectrum of activities on offer has led to a much greater level of engagement and stimulation. The quality and variety of food provided is first-class. The home is very well-managed which instills great confidence in relatives.

Overall Experience
My husband has been in since February 2023, and is settled and is very happy with his care. Once he got to know the staff and he has started to participate in the activities. He has gone out for walks with staff and other service users and is quite happy to mix with other service users.

Situated in the picturesque village of Alness in the Scottish Highlands, Redwoods is a purpose-built home, set within the walled garden of an impressive Victorian country estate. The home provides high-quality nursing care to elderly people, including those with dementia and associated conditions.
A complete care programme
Featuring well-appointed ensuite rooms, Redwoods utilises some of the latest technology to make residents as comfortable and safe as possible. This includes a progressive secure dementia unit, which complements the existing nursing care facilities. As part of this, we encourage residents and their families to be involved at all stages of care planning and other aspects of care home life.
A social experience
Ensuring that residents can retain as much independence as possible is a priority at Redwoods, and with four spacious lounge and dining areas and a dedicated activities/reminiscence room, those in our care are able to enjoy socialising and participating in many of their favourite hobbies and activities. These spaces are also pleasant spots for residents to enjoy high-quality, nutritious meals produced by the highly skilled catering team.
Peaceful surroundings
The beautiful wooded surroundings make for a wonderful sense of tranquillity, and our secure gardens are extremely popular with residents wanting to sit and relax or perhaps indulge in a spot of gardening.

I have worked at Redwoods since 2014, starting in the Kitchen as an assistant while studying Psychology at The University of Highlands & Islands.
Once I Graduated with a degree in Psychology, I changed my role to work the night shift as a care assistant for 2 years, where I continued to work on my personal development, completing my SVQ level 2 in Health and Social Care.
I then moved onto dayshift where I applied for a Senior Care Worker position and was successful. I completed the 6-month course at Meallmore, and then the SVQ level 3 in Health and Social Care. While working for the next couple of years I continued to learn and completed a course in Diabetes Management as well as taking on more responsibility within my role.
I then decided I wanted to progress further, and was successful in my application for the Senior Care Practitioner post at Redwoods. During my time working in this role, I completed more Meallmore training which taught me both Clinical & Leadership and Management skills. I took on a Lead position within the home Continence care, Learning and Development of staff as well as other champion roles. This helped me continue to develop my skills and practice.
I then applied for the Deputy Manager position in 2023 where I was offered the role. This is the current role I have within Redwoods which has been fantastic in continuously improving my practice and skills. I am currently working on a Leadership and Management course within Meallmore, as well as the SVQ level 4 in Health and Social Care.
Person-centred working is at the heart of my practice. I have worked over the years to support other care home staff to adopt this ethos in their work. This means supporting every resident in our home, in a manner in which they wish to be cared for while encouraging and promoting independence at all times.
