About
Dounemount Care Home is a traditional house on the edge of Macduff, a fishing village in the Banff and Buchan area of Aberdeenshire. The building spreads over three floors, and a purpose-built extension adds accommodation on one level. The home is registered for up to 34 people and offers residential, dementia, nursing and respite care, with dementia named as its specialist area of support.
The home sits on a hill within its own grounds and overlooks the River Deveron. A courtyard garden gives residents a safe, step-free space to spend time outdoors. Activities cover socialising, quiet time, hobbies and learning new skills. The Care Inspectorate, which regulates the home in Scotland, has graded its wellbeing support, care planning, setting, staff team and leadership each as Good.
