Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Parklands is an Alloa home through and through: local staff, local GPs, and families who drop in on the way home from work. It offers chef-cooked Scottish meals, en-suite rooms residents fill with their own furniture and photographs, landscaped gardens and a daily rhythm built around who people actually are. Airthrey, a few minutes south in Airth, gives families a second option in the same style with views across the carse. Both teams are experienced in dementia care and work closely with Forth Valley Royal discharge planners when a move follows a hospital stay.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Alloa
Choosing a care home in Alloa is a manageable decision, because the local options are few and close together, but the questions still matter. Start with the type of care needed, residential, nursing, dementia, respite or palliative, and check the home is registered for the level likely to be needed in a year rather than only today, so a second move can be avoided. Read the full Care Inspectorate report rather than the top-line grades, and note what inspectors say about staffing and how residents spend their days. Visit at least twice, once unannounced if you can, and watch a mealtime and an activity rather than only touring the rooms. Ask what a typical day looks like, how routines and preferences are protected, how families are kept informed and what happens as needs increase. Locally, ask how the home works with Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Clackmannanshire Community Healthcare Centre and Alloa GP practices. Then trust the atmosphere.

Care in Alloa: your questions
Yes - Parklands is registered for residential, nursing and dementia care, and also supports respite and palliative care.
Residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care. Weekly fees vary by room type and level of care, and we price each stay individually after a short assessment. Scotland's Free Personal Care contribution of £260.30/week and, where nursing is needed, Free Nursing Care of £117.10/week come off the total; a family top-up may bridge any remaining gap. We accept Clackmannanshire Council placements with these contributions factored in. See our funding guide for the full picture.
