Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Angus families often look along the coast towards Dundee, and Sutherland House is the natural stop: a settled home in quiet grounds in Broughty Ferry with a long-serving manager and a team that knows every resident's history. Chef-cooked Scottish meals, en-suite rooms residents personalise, gardens that get used daily and a genuine welcome for visitors at any hour. The home is experienced in dementia care and end-of-life care, and coordinates closely with Ninewells discharge planners when a move follows a hospital stay.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Arbroath
Choosing a care home near Arbroath usually means comparing a small number of local options with the stronger choice available along the coast towards Dundee, so start by being realistic about travel. Twenty-five minutes each way is very manageable for regular visiting, particularly along the coast road. Then work through the essentials: the type of care needed now and likely later, residential, nursing, dementia, respite or palliative, and whether the home is registered for all of it. Read the full Care Inspectorate report rather than the grades alone, and note the comments on staffing and daily life. Visit twice if you can, once without an appointment, and watch how staff speak with residents. Ask about a typical day, meals, activities, visiting and how families are kept informed. Locally, ask how the home works with Arbroath Infirmary, Ninewells Hospital and NHS Tayside community teams.
