We care, the way you care.

Fidra House has 60 beautiful single bedrooms with spacious en-suite shower facilities, arranged over three floors. There are two lifts which access each of the three floors. The freshly decorated bedrooms have telephone and Internet access, a wall-mounted TV and a nurse call system, for prompt assistance.

Each floor has its own comfortable open plan lounge with wide screen TV, and dining area with a fully-fitted pantry. The communal lounge on the ground floor has doors that open out onto the grounds – always a popular place to sit with a cup of tea, or for gardening activities when weather permits.

Events and activities are hugely enjoyed at Fidra House and a dedicated team, full calendar and the availability of their own minibus ensures that the level of participation is high. There are excellent connections within the community.

A wonderful Chef and kitchen team offer nutritionally-balanced, freshly prepared meals. The menu changes on a four-weekly cycle and they try to accommodate different tastes and diets as far as possible. Residents choose where to eat. Some people like the privacy of their own room, whilst others enjoy eating together in the dining room, with its windows looking out onto the garden.
