Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Sutherland House is the sort of home Dundee families keep coming back to visit, because it is close enough to drop in after work. It sits in quiet grounds in Broughty Ferry, with chef-cooked Scottish meals, en-suite rooms residents personalise with their own furniture and photographs, and gardens that are genuinely used rather than just looked at. Our team works closely with Ninewells discharge planners so moves from hospital are calm and well prepared, and the home is experienced in supporting families through dementia and end-of-life care.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Dundee
Choosing a care home in Dundee usually starts with the type of care needed, whether that is residential, nursing, dementia, respite or palliative, and then with location. Dundee is compact, so a home in Broughty Ferry is realistically reachable from Lochee, Ninewells or the city centre in under twenty minutes, and that matters more than families expect: the homes people visit most are the ones that are easy to get to. Read the full Care Inspectorate report rather than only the grades, because the wording tells you far more than the score. Visit twice if you can, once without an appointment, and watch how staff speak with residents rather than about them. Ask what a typical day looks like, how meals and activities work, whether routines and preferences can be kept, and how the home responds when needs change. In Dundee, ask specifically about links with Ninewells Hospital, the Royal Victoria and NHS Tayside community teams, because continuity with familiar clinicians makes a real difference. Finally, trust the atmosphere. A well-run home tends to feel right within the first ten minutes.

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 Dundee City Council placements with these contributions factored in. See our funding guide for the full picture.
