About

Isle View Care Home in Gairloch, Highland, has 25 registered beds and provides dementia and nursing care. The home encourages residents to spend time outdoors and to keep up old interests or develop new ones, as isolation and inactivity can hasten decline, particularly for people living with dementia. An activity coordinator runs group and one-to-one sessions, alongside visiting musicians, falconry displays, museum talks and a pet therapy dog. Residents help look after hens in a coop introduced in 2018. Meals are cooked on site with garden produce where possible, and home baking is served daily. Laundry is done in the home, and registered nurses are on duty around the clock. The Care Inspectorate graded wellbeing support and the staff team Very good, care planning and the setting Good, and leadership Very good.
