About
Benholm Nursing Home is a 34-bedroom care home in Forfar, Angus, providing residential, dementia, respite and nursing care. Its specially trained dementia teams use research-backed approaches, and qualified nurses are on hand around the clock, supported by local GPs.
The building has high ceilings and plenty of natural light, with bright communal areas for time with family and friends and quieter corners for residents who want time alone. Meals are cooked fresh on site by an in-house chef and eaten in the dining room. Activities include weekly live music, movement classes, bingo, coffee mornings and a games club, along with trips on the home's minibus into Forfar and beyond. The Care Inspectorate has graded the home Adequate for how well people's wellbeing is supported, how care and support is planned, the setting, the staff team and leadership.
