About
Ballifeary House is a residential care home in Inverness that provides dementia care. It sits in a quiet part of the city, within walking distance of the centre, and has 24 places. Residents have private single en-suite bedrooms. The 19th-century stone building is Listed, and it was extended and fully refurbished in 2002. The home stands in its own grounds beside the River Ness.
Shared spaces include a large lounge, a dining room, a garden room and a small sitting room, along with two bathrooms fitted with bath hoists and a shower room. The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland bought the house in 1964 and runs it in a Christian setting. Family worship is held each morning and evening, and residents and staff attend. Services from the Inverness congregation are relayed to the home for those who cannot attend church. The Care Inspectorate has graded the home Good for how well people's wellbeing is supported, how well care and support is planned, its setting, its staff team and its leadership.
