About
Abbotsford Care, Glenrothes is a care home for people living with dementia, with 40 registered beds arranged in four units of ten. The building was purpose built for people with dementia, and all staff have completed training in understanding the condition. One unit is for men only, the first of its kind in the Fife area, and another supports people under 65 who have been diagnosed with dementia.
Residents take part in decisions about the home, and each room is decorated to the occupant's own taste. The grounds include a greenhouse, an allotment growing herbs and vegetables, and a few chickens. The Care Inspectorate graded how well people's wellbeing is supported as Weak, and graded care and support planning, the setting, the staff team and leadership as Adequate.
