About

Spynie Care Home is a purpose-built home with 56 registered beds on the outskirts of Elgin in Moray, Scotland. It provides nursing care, palliative care and specialised dementia care, including a unit for men with dementia who have complex needs. The home is arranged across three wings named after the nearby castles of Brodie, Duffus and Cawdor, and residents have access to communal areas and gardens.

Each resident has a personalised care plan, and staff are on duty around the clock. Specialist health and social care professionals visit regularly, and residents can keep in touch with their own GPs. 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.
