Meallmore Ltd, a family-owned business, opened its first nursing home for the elderly in 1987 at Meallmore Lodge in Daviot, just south of Inverness. Since then, we have steadily grown our portfolio of care homes and built a team that takes pride in delivering exceptional care.
Over the years, our commitment to improving the lives of the elderly and vulnerable has been recognised through national caring awards. We strive to consistently be a great place to live and work, today and in the years to come.
At Meallmore, we are dedicated to creating a warm and compassionate environment for residents and staff alike. Join us on our journey as we continue to provide exceptional care and support to those who choose us as their home.
Meallmore was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to create exceptional care environments where residents feel truly at home. In the early days, our founders recognised a need for high-quality, person-centred care in Scotland. They saw beyond the traditional care model, believing that every resident deserved not just medical support but also dignity, independence, and a meaningful quality of life. From these beginnings, Meallmore has grown into a trusted name, known for its compassionate staff, high standards, and commitment to innovation in care.
