Rooms & Facilities

We have 60 single bedrooms with spacious ensuite shower facilities, arranged over three floors. There are two lifts which access each of the three floors. The freshly decorated bedrooms have telephone and Internet access, a wall mounted TV and a nurse call system, for prompt assistance.

Each floor has its own comfortable open plan lounge with wide screen TV, and dining area with a fully-fitted pantry.

Facilities

We are very lucky at Fidra House to enjoy a specially-designed building. Accessibility, light, a sense of space, fresh decor and beautifully landscaped gardens make this an ideal place for older people.

Small Group Living

Our 60 single bedrooms are arranged over three floors, with residents choosing which lounge and dining room they wish to spend time in. This makes for a warm and homely atmosphere where residents can form friendships and meet regularly.

Home From Home

Rooms can be personalised by the resident with their choice of wall colours and soft furnishings, and we encourage personal mementos and furniture, if space allows. As long as the layout gives us space to nurse in, we’ll do our best to make rooms as homely and familiar as possible.

Each bedroom has an ensuite shower room. There is a nurse call, TV, and a telephone and Internet point in every bedroom, with WiFi available throughout the home.

Communal Areas

The beautifully landscaped gardens are safe, secure and the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. Our sun patio is easily accessible on the 1st Floor and is a great sun trap for those residents looking to relax outside. All areas of the home are wheelchair friendly and specifically designed to assist people with dementia.

There is a choice of beautifully decorated lounges for activities and relaxation.

Our lounges can also double up as Fidra Houses’s own in-house cinema. We have a drop down cinema screen for movie nights and special sporting events, which is a hit with all of our residents!

The communal lounge on the ground floor has doors that open out onto our garden patio – always a popular place to sit with a cup of tea, or for gardening activities when weather permits.

Reminiscence Room

For our residents with dementia, we have created a unique Reminiscence Room. This was developed by staff following a training course, and has proved hugely therapeutic in allowing residents to recall and remember significant people and events from their past.

Keeping up Appearances

We have a hair and beauty salon in the home and regular visits from an aromatherapist ─ we believe that looking your best is important, and even more so for older people.

Laundry

We understand that maintaining a sense of privacy and dignity is fundamental to enjoying life at Fidra House. That’s why we take something as simple as laundry so seriously: fresh towels are supplied after each use and we label all clothes and make sure they are returned clean and pressed.

Visitors Welcome

Friends and relatives are encouraged to visit as often as possible, and to make visitors welcome there are small kitchens so you can make your own tea and coffee.

The rooms are always clean and fresh. Also, the care that goes into each resident looking so well looked after – hair lovely, well-dressed and cared for. Every visit, I leave with a smile.

Granddaughter of Resident, Fidra House
Many thanks for looking after mum. A special thank you to everyone up in Craig Suite for their very professional nursing care over the past two years. Such a loving, homely atmosphere and I was always made very welcome.

Luisa, Daughter of Resident, Fidra House
Before going to Fidra, she lived on her own from visiting Carers but was obviously depressed. Fidra care and staff have brought her back to life again.

Nephew of Resident, Fidra House
Meals are excellent and a good variety. I would not hesitate to recommend Fidra.

John, Son of Resident, Fidra House
There is always a nice atmosphere in the home and we know Dad was very happy. You have given us some lovely memories, of happy times we shared with Dad – the garden party and the street party being two of them.

We would especially like to thank the lovely staff in Craig Suite, who looked after Dad at all times with good humour, kindness, respect and obvious affection. Dad was certainly very fond of them all too. We would like to mention every one of them because each one contributed their own special talent to his care, especially in his final days, and made sure that he died peacefully and comfortably.

We are also grateful for the support which we received during this difficult time.

Mary and Anne, Daughters of Resident, Fidra House
How very grateful we are to you for looking after our dear mother, so caringly over the last three years of her life. It was a joy to see her so very happy and secure in your company. In her time with you she became free from the woes that had previously beset her during her failing years.

You do the most important of jobs, balancing professionalism with compassion. Your warm and respectful regard for those in your care does you great credit.

Mary, Daughter of Resident, Fidra House
Thank you so much for all of the kindness and care you showed my mum. You were a blessing to her and me, and it was good to have her nearer.

Shiona, Daughter of Resident, Fidra House
Visited my relative in Fidra today and was so relieved to see she is being so well cared for. She has a room with a beautiful view of the garden, and all her home comforts. The dining/TV room had French doors open out onto the garden which means all residents are able to enjoy the outdoors too.

Susan, Cousin of Resident, Fidra House
Excellent, very caring staff. Very clean and the food is very much to both my parent’s liking. The attention to detail is exemplified by the catering – likes and dislikes are catered for. Whenever I ask my parents about what they had for lunch or dinner, they always say it is delicious (and they each have different food). I am also impressed with the reaction to any difficulties – as different care solutions are required, they are proactively put in place.

Paul, Son of Resident, Fidra House
Mum quickly settled in and now participates in every activity going! She loves living there and is no longer isolated and lonely, all of which seems to have helped her general well-being.

We are happy knowing she is well fed, receives her medication as required and her personal hygiene is looked after.

We were impressed with the ensuite room allocated to Mum, the facilities and activities available and above all the caring and friendly approach of all the staff we met.

I’d recommend Fidra House if you are looking for a care home in the area.

Carol, Daughter of Resident, Fidra House
The staff are always friendly and caring towards my dad. Even when he has tricky days, they show patience and understanding. He enjoys chatting to the staff, and any grumble he might have, the staff listen and try and help where possible.
