Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Sutherland House is a proper Broughty Ferry home - handsome grounds close to the seafront, big bright rooms, chef-cooked Scottish meals, and a team that knows every resident by name. Private en-suite rooms residents personalise, landscaped gardens they can walk in, and daily activities shaped around what each person actually enjoys. Our team works closely with the Ninewells discharge planners to make moves from hospital gentle for the whole family, and we welcome families to visit any day of the week.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Broughty Ferry
Choosing a care home in Broughty Ferry or Dundee starts with the type of care needed - residential, nursing, dementia, respite or palliative - and matching that to the right home. Distance from family matters: a home a few minutes from a son or daughter's front door tends to see far more visits than one across the city. Read the Care Inspectorate report for each home on your shortlist rather than only the top-line grades - the wording gives you a real feel for how the home is run day to day. Visit at least twice, once ideally unannounced, and notice how staff speak with residents, whether people look relaxed and engaged, and how the home smells and sounds. Ask what a typical day looks like, whether the person's routines and preferences can be kept, and how meals, activities and visiting work in practice. Ask about links with Ninewells Hospital, NHS Tayside community teams and local GPs. Above all, trust the atmosphere - the right home usually feels right within the first ten minutes.
