Residential Nursing Care in Safe, Supportive Homes Across Scotland

At Meallmore, we understand the importance of having a safe, comfortable, and caring place to call home when living independently is no longer possible. Our residential care services are designed for older people who need help with daily tasks, personal care, mobility, or medication, but who do not require specialist nursing or dementia care. We offer 24/7 support, structured routines, and meaningful engagement - all in a setting that feels like home.

Life at a Meallmore Care Home

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.

Safety in our Care Homes.
