At the heart of the attractive market town of Crieff in Perthshire, The Birches is a beautiful period house that has been converted into a care home of distinction with 31 beds offering residential and residential memory care, for those living with dementia.

With its peaceful, enclosed garden, looked after by some Residents, The Birches provides many great spots to socialise, relax and catch up with friends and family. A welcoming home, it has three sitting rooms and three dining areas, all with specially designed furnishings for maximum comfort. A treatment area and hairdressing salon provide further opportunities for Residents to relax. The bright, comfortable bedrooms and living areas are all easily accessible by wheelchair.

The home’s caring team has created a family atmosphere, encouraging everyone to eat, celebrate and plan special occasions together. Residents are invited to decorate their rooms with small items of their own furniture and treasured belongings so that it feels just like home. Daily life is thoughtfully designed to support mind, body and soul.

The Birches’ Home Manager will make sure that all Residents receive the kindest possible care. Our extensively trained team will deliver all the specialist care and support services that your loved one requires.
