Morar Highland is a purpose-built care home in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, offering a welcoming and thoughtfully designed environment where people can feel truly at home. Set within Cradlehall, a peaceful residential area to the east of the city, the home provides a calm and supportive setting where later life can be lived with dignity, comfort and meaning.
Life at Morar Highland is centred around the individual. Each resident is supported as a unique person, with care tailored to personal preferences, routines and aspirations. The focus is on encouraging independence, promoting confidence and enabling people to continue living in a way that reflects who they are. Compassionate nursing and daily support are delivered with kindness and respect, building trusted relationships with residents and their families.
Every detail within the home has been carefully considered to create a safe, secure and enriching environment. The design combines contemporary style with warmth and comfort, ensuring spaces feel both elegant and homely. Relaxing lounges and welcoming dining areas provide opportunities for social connection, while quieter rooms offer peaceful places for reflection or time with loved ones.
Private bedrooms are bright, comfortable and beautifully furnished, each featuring an en-suite wet room to support privacy and dignity. Assisted bathrooms and walk-in baths are also available for those who enjoy a long, relaxing soak. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with treasured belongings, helping maintain identity and a sense of belonging.
Outdoor space is an important part of daily life. A private courtyard and enclosed gardens provide safe areas to enjoy fresh Highland air. Many bedrooms benefit from private patios leading directly into the garden, while upper lounges open onto balconies with lovely views across Inverness.

Morar Highland is a place of peace and security and much love and care, My Mum arrived just over a month ago to a warmth and care so very genuine that my husband and I had no worries about her safety. Frith and her wonderful team have made Morar Highland a truly happy sanctuary for the very vunerable and frail. My Mum is so very happy and settled, in fact she's putting on weight, the meals are so good. The warmth and kindness of ALL the staff comes from the loving hug generated from Frith herself. We highly recommend this remarkable home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, reading this has bought a tear to my eye. Your mum is an absolute delight to look after and she has made a real difference to life at the home - she is filled with kindness and makes the home a happier place to live and work.

The caring is exceptional in very comfortable surroundings. My husband is in a wheelchair and needs hoisting between bed and chair etc so always a two person job. My husband's room is very personal with pictures on the wall, photographs, his own blankets, plants in the window, photo albums and special dog treats in the top drawer for visiting dog Gigha.
The management are always ready to listen and any problems, niggles are quickly dealt with. I am always being informed of any intended changes in medication etc.
The food being served up is restaurant standard + and always with a choice.
The enthusiastic activities team are always thinking up new ideas for the residents with music and singing as an important base. A Cycling UK-affiliated community group visiting and taking residents out on their adapted bikes are a highlight.
Thank you for your kind review! The positive vibe and the extended family feeling you describe is exactly how living in a care home should feel and exactly what we have set out to achieve. The future is bright and we look forward to continuing to make sustained improvements for all. Caring for your husband, and all our wonderful residents, is an absolute pleasure.
My mother was booked in for two weeks respite in July/August 2026. The service was excellent, staff friendly & helpful. My mum came home re-invigorated and healthier than ever. A great respite stay! Would use again.

Hi Jennifer - thank you for your lovely review! I am really pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience when you visited the home. The care of our residents is our top priority and we foster a supportive environment for our staff to work in which clearly shined through during your visit.

My dad has been a resident at Morar Highland since April 2026. He has advanced Alzheimer's Disease and the care and compassion he has received has been exceptional. The staff are incredibly professional and kind, and create an environment that not only meets his considerable nursing needs, but ensures he feels safe, happy and cared for. The management and staff make sure our family is fully informed and involved. Knowing that my dad is so well looked after is such a relief. He really couldn't be in a better place.
Dear Linda! Thank you for your kind words - it is our pleasure to look after your father and being able to give him the care and support he needs on a daily basis is a joy. He has become an integral part of our community here at Morar Highland.

Although I live in North Wales i have always kept my Mom here as she receives the very best care from an amazing team of staff led by a strong management team.
They go over and above to facilitate my visits and in between visits communicate with me regulary. The home is spotlessly clean, the food and bedrooms of a high quality and the activities varied as well as tailored to individual needs. Putting my Mom into care was very difficult but she is incredibly well cared for by the Morah Highland team
Thank you for your wonderful review and for placing your trust in Morar Highland over the past six years. We understand how difficult the decision to move a loved one into care can be, so it means a great deal to know that your mum's experience has given you such reassurance.

Thank you for your lovely review and for sharing your family's experience. We are delighted to hear that your mother-in-law has been so happy with us since joining Morar Living in 2021.
It means a great deal to know that you have seen such positive improvements in her care and that the team's kindness and compassion make her feel so special. We love that she enjoys being called "Granny" by our staff.
Providing excellent care while keeping families informed and involved is incredibly important to us, so we're pleased that this has brought comfort and reassurance to you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words and support. We will be sure to share your feedback with the whole team.

I do not live nearby and they always call me if any changes in mum and I really appreciate that.
I am particularly grateful of time spent with mum by the activities leader and team. Mum not able to join in many activities but they take her walks, sing to her and use the wee cafe as a treat.
Thank you all for doing what I cannot do.
Thank you for your heartfelt review and for trusting us with your mum's care over the past five years. We are delighted to hear that she continues to feel comfortable and settled in her room, and that the team's warmth and affection help make her feel at home.

Thank you for your heartfelt review and for trusting us with your mum's care over the past five years. We are delighted to hear that she continues to feel comfortable and settled in her room, and that the team's warmth and affection help make her feel at home.
We're especially pleased that you feel well supported and kept informed, particularly as you live some distance away. Maintaining open communication with families is very important to us.
Your kind words about our activities team mean so much. While your mum may not always be able to join group activities, we're glad she enjoys her walks, singalongs, and visits to the caf. These meaningful moments are so important.
Thank you for your appreciation and support. It is a privilege to care for your mum and be there for her when you cannot.
My dad is settled in Morar Highland where the staff are always friendly and supportive, there are lots of activities and he has a couple of wee ' jobs' to give him a sense of purpose. He even talks of going home now when I take him out.

My dad is settled in Morar Highland where the staff are always friendly and supportive, there are lots of activities and he has a couple of wee ' jobs' to give him a sense of purpose. He even talks of going home now when I take him out.
The location is fabulous, the lounges and rooms actually feel like a home rather than a 'home'. I really feel we made the best choice.
I am very happy with the care dad receives and the compassion of the staff when he needs extra support. Thank you to Frith and the team - from reception to nursing and care staff there is always a ready smile and everyone makes the time to speak whenever needed. The food is tasty and a good selection - the cakes are delicious! The home is very clean and well kept and the housekeeping team are friendly and helpful. Betty and her entertainment team are fabulous and really go the extra mile to match activities to the residents needs.
If looking for care in Inverness I highly recommend you have a chat and a look round.

It is lovely to know that our home, beautiful surroundings, and welcoming atmosphere have made such a positive impression. Your kind words about Frith, Betty, and the wider team mean a great deal to everyone. We are proud to provide compassionate care, meaningful activities, tasty meals, and a warm environment where residents truly feel at home.
Thank you for trusting us with your dad's care. It is a privilege to support him and your family.

Care staff did not follow the care plan. He was not treated with dignity, respect or in accordance with his wishes/preferences. He was placed at risk of injury and was often in distress because staff did not appear to have the skills or knowledge to support him. Infection protection and control guidance was not followed. Staff practice and behaviours including that of management toward resident and myself as his legal representative did not align with professional codes of conduct. I had to involve adult support and protection. I complained to the care regulator regarding this and all of my complaints were upheld. There is currently an improvement notice served on the home.
I removed the resident and he is doing better.
From day 1 my sister was given the best of care - she was bedridden and could not speak but the staff excelled in catering to her every need and often anticipated what she wanted before we did. I have experience of other care homes in the area and this one is by far the most superior. Relatives are...
From day 1 my sister was given the best of care - she was bedridden and could not speak but the staff excelled in catering to her every need and often anticipated what she wanted before we did. I have experience of other care homes in the area and this one is by far the most superior. Relatives are welcomed and so well looked after by every member of staff.

From January 2023 - March 2024, my mum was in the care of Castlehill and throughout her time there, she was treated with great care and dignity. Every member of staff from domestics, kitchen, carers, nurses, activities, handymen and administration to management were great, friendly and very approachable. Days leading up to my mum passing, I received that same care and consideration. I will be forever grateful that my mum was a resident at Castlehill Care Home. She was very lucky to have been there with such lovely people.
Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to care for you all. Team Morar.

My mother was in Castlehill Care Home for the past 2.5 years, her care was excellent during all that time. The manager and staff were cheerful, friendly, professional and easy to speak to if I had any questions regarding her well-being. She was treated with dignity and respect from when she arrived until the day they walked her out the door on her final journey. I honestly cannot recommend this care home highly enough.

My aunt experienced the best quality end-of-life care to the very finer details of the staff walking her from the home when she went to be at peace.
