Originally an impressive private house dating from 1890, Balnacarron has been sympathetically extended to provide a warm and welcoming home with every modern convenience. It is situated in a pleasant residential suburb, with a regular bus service to St Andrews and the local area. The accommodation is light and spacious and there is a choice of lounge areas and a library where residents can meet and chat or entertain guests. The traditional style dining room overlooks the large organic gardens and greenhouse. There is also a patio offering a pleasant place for a sunny afternoon. The bedrooms are attractively decorated, some have garden views and most offer en-suite facilities. Daily activities are offered including arts and crafts, gardening, carpet bowls, swimming lessons, putting and trips to local places of interest. Balnacarron also offers care to older people with mental infirmity, memory loss, Parkinson's Disease and those who have had a stroke.

BUPA Care Homes

All our homes offer the quality of care you'd expect from BUPA. We employ dedicated, well trained staff, to provide 24-hour care in a professional and respectful way.

Above all, each resident is treated as an individual, and able to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. We encourage as full and active a lifestyle as possible, with rules and regulations kept to minimum, and visitors are welcome at any time.

Each resident has their own regularly updated care plan. Additional services such as speech therapy or physiotherapy can always be arranged, as can opticians and dentists appointments.

All rooms have television points and safety features such as smoke detectors and 24-hour call systems. Residents are welcome to bring personal belongings and small items of furniture, and pets are allowed in some homes.

Each home has an activities organiser to provide stimulating and interesting activities, taking account of residents' interests. There is always a varied menu of fresh, nutritious food, but special dietary or cultural needs will always be catered for.

Fees vary for each home, room and the level of care needed. Please contact the home manager directly to get an individualised quote.

Why not visit your local home and find out what sets BUPA care homes apart?
