Situated in the heart of Ayrshire is Caledonia, a 90-bed home specialising in residential, dementia and nursing care. The care home is idyllically located for the residents to enjoy exciting excursions.
The home offers breath taking views of the Firth of Clyde across to the Isle of Arran. There’s decking around the home where residents can enjoy the views and watch the ferry come and go, and a secure, spacious garden where they can relax.
Within the home, residents can take part in fun activities; the spacious home features six dining rooms and six lounges for residents to utilise. Each resident has their own spacious room with an en-suite bathroom where they can retreat for rest and relaxation.
Residents can also enjoy a pampering session at the Caledonia Hairways Salon, before heading to The Goatfell Inn for a well-deserved beverage.
Alongside its free WiFi access, Caledonia also uses person-centred software to help them deliver exceptional care. They create digital care plans that can be updated as they go to ensure accuracy and state-of-the-art technology to streamline their medication management.
Caledonia comprises six units, each with its own dedicated team of nurses, care assistants and senior carers to help deliver exceptional care to the residents.
The home provides dementia training for staff, friends, family and professional stakeholders, allowing everyone involved to understand how to deliver outstanding dementia care.

Having visited several care homes in the area, Caledonia was selected as 1st choice. Staff from all sections of the home are friendly. All staff assigned to father's unit are very approachable and attend to any requests. Father's needs are well catered for. Nurses/carers are very attentive to him. I frequently hear of staff joking and singing along with him while e.g. getting him up in the mornings, etc. Father likes company and to chat. The building, with its long straight corridors, allows him to sit and speak to staff and visitors or to walk, with carers frequently passing ensuring all ok. Residents are not restricted to their own unit. Father wanders into other units where it is no problem to the staff to ensure he is given his meals.
Father likes to attend the in-house musical events.

Unfortunately my papa was diagnosed with dementia, which led to him needing 24 hour care. This was hard for us as a family to accept. However the necessary wheels were put in motion, and importantly we had to make an informed choice of an appropriate care home. We chose Caledonia Care Home.
His stay was short and he was sadly taken away from us, but I can speak on behalf of my whole family in saying that we were blessed to have had him cared for and supported in the most respectful and dignified manner possible. The care staff were absolutely amazing and made my papa feel so welcome and comfortable, which helped us as family deal with the circumstances we were facing, right to the very end! My family, and I cannot thank the staff of Caledonia enough for all their care, support, love and compassion they showed. They truly are worth their weight in gold, and in my opinion deserve to be recognised for all their hard work.

Mairi has a BA in nursing studies, and is a registered general nurse (RGN). She also has an SVQ Level 4 in Leadership and Management award.
She worked as a qualified nurse for over 30 years in a variety of settings including a hospital, community continence service, hospice and care home. She’s also worked in quality and as a clinical trainer.
Her extensive background across different settings has given her great insight into different aspects of the industry, and helped her build essential skills to excel in her management role.
Mairi takes a very strategic view of the home, and her goal is to look after the staff, to ensure they’re then able to provide unrivalled care and support for the residents.
She said, “Handsale has a non-corporate approach. They’re big enough to make a difference, whilst being small enough to care about the details.
“My favourite quote is Dr Seuss: ‘Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.’”
