When is Nursing Care Necessary?

When your health, or that of a friend or family member, begins to decline and further assistance with everyday tasks is required, we understand how difficult it can be to know where to turn for help when considering moving into a care home. Struan Lodge Care Home is available to help current and future residents, as well as their loved ones, with advice and assistance. When it comes to deciding on the best course of action, please do not hesitate to contact our staff, who are ready and willing to help.

Prioritising Resident Safety & Wellbeing

In line with recent Scottish Government guidance effective from September 2022, care homes in Scotland no longer require face masks to be worn during visits due to high vaccination rates and other mitigations against COVID-19 in the social care sector and LFD testing is no longer necessary. Face masks will continue to be provided at the home should it be your preference to continue to wear one and staff will support the preferences of our residents who wish for our staff to wear face masks whilst providing them with care.

We would like to reassure you that we will continue to work closely with our Local Health Protection Teams and will follow their guidance should this decision change. For further information, please click here or contact the Home Manager directly.
