RESIDENTIAL CARE AT MEALLMORE

Residential care,

PERSONAL SPACE AND A SHARED HOME

Residents have their own bedroom, with welcoming shared spaces where they can relax, spend time with others or welcome family and friends. The exact facilities and surroundings vary between homes, so families can explore each location and find the setting that feels right for them.

02

FOOD SHAPED AROUND INDIVIDUALS

Our chefs and hospitality teams prepare balanced meals that reflect residents’ tastes, dietary requirements and nutritional needs. We take time to understand favourite foods, familiar routines and the small details that can make mealtimes an enjoyable part of the day.

03

SUPPORT AVAILABLE DAY AND NIGHT

Trained care colleagues are available around the clock to provide help with personal care, mobility, medication and other everyday needs. Support is delivered with dignity and respect, in line with each resident’s individual care plan and personal choices.

04

MEANINGFUL DAYS AND ROUTINES

Life within each home is shaped by the people living there. Residents can choose how they spend their time, whether that means taking part in an activity, enjoying a familiar interest, connecting with the local community or simply relaxing in their own way.

What is Residential Nursing Care?

Residential care at Meallmore offers professional support for individuals with lower-level clinical needs who can no longer live safely on their own. While residents don’t need hospital-level treatment, they may require assistance with personal care, mobility, medication, or managing long-term conditions.

At Meallmore, our residential care also includes nursing-led oversight where needed, giving families peace of mind that their loved one is always supported by qualified professionals in a structured and welcoming environment.

Common questions

Questions
worth asking.

Choosing residential care can bring a lot of questions. Here are some of the things families ask us most often. If you need more information, our team is here to listen and help.

Residential care provides accommodation and personalised support for people who may no longer feel safe or comfortable living independently but do not require continuous nursing care.

Support can include help with personal care, mobility, prescribed medication, meals and everyday routines. Trained care colleagues are available day and night, with each person’s support shaped around their needs, choices and preferences.

The cost of residential care varies depending on the chosen home, accommodation, individual support needs and what is included within the weekly fee.

Some people pay for their own care, while others may receive financial support from their local authority. Adults in Scotland who are assessed as eligible may also receive Free Personal Care payments, regardless of their income or savings. Residential fees almost always require a top-up or additional weekly fee to be paid on top of allocated funding.

Our team can explain the fees for a particular Meallmore home and help you understand the main care-funding options available. A local authority financial assessment will determine whether someone is entitled to additional funding support.

Residential care is generally suitable for people who need help with personal care and everyday life but do not require continuous care from a registered nurse.

Nursing care provides additional clinical support for people with more complex health needs, with registered nurses available around the clock.

Some Meallmore homes provide both residential and nursing care. A care-needs assessment will help determine which option is most appropriate for the individual.

Yes. Each resident’s care plan is reviewed regularly and can be adapted as their needs, preferences or circumstances change.

Where someone develops additional health or nursing needs, the home will work with the resident, their family or representative and relevant healthcare professionals to understand the support required.

Whether the person can remain in the same home will depend on the services the home is registered to provide and whether it can continue to meet their needs safely. Our team will explain the available options and support everyone involved through any changes.
