Nursing Care

Struan Lodge Care Home is a warm, welcoming and fully equipped facility that provides exemplary Nursing Care. We go above and beyond to ensure that each and every one of our residents is happy and comfortable. We take pride in treating each individual with the utmost respect and attention.

Nursing Care is available to residents 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Those with more complicated care needs, such as a physical impairment, a long-term sickness or end-of-life care, are cared for by our kind and attentive team. Each resident is allocated a nurse who will become a familiar face to them and will answer any questions or concerns they or their family members may have.

What is Nursing Care?

Nursing Care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for those who require medical and personal assistance. Our educated and experienced nurses will provide assistance with medicine, mobility and long-term ailments or issues for residents receiving this type of care. Our purpose-built facility is the right place to give compassionate care and allow residents of all abilities to enjoy a full life, with a variety of facilities and amenities.

Our Approach to Nursing Care

Nursing Care is available to residents at Struan Lodge 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Our caring staff has undergone rigorous training in providing the best level of care to those with physical disabilities, high dependency needs and end-of-life care. All of our residents will be allocated a nurse who will become a friendly, familiar face to them, answering any questions or concerns they or their family members may have. We aim to provide each person who lives with us with a complete care plan that allows them to reach their full potential while they are with us and enjoy a fulfilling and comfortable life every day.

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.

We achieve delivery of first-class care and lifestyle by combining exemplary medical care with all-inclusive, luxury facilities. From necessary medical services through to lifestyle amenities, residents have all they need when living at Struan Lodge, including:

GP Visits

Residents are given as much independence as possible, including being able to attend ongoing GP appointments.  Residents can either choose to attend their GP session alone or accompanied by a friendly and trusted member of our team.

Opticians Appointments

If any of our residents require assistance with any eye-related concerns, they are able to access an Optician and attend a routine appointment. Any treatment required may come at an additional cost, so it’s always worth checking with the team at Struan Lodge before any further payments are made.

Dental Care

We recognise the importance of dental care, health and hygiene can be to an individual, especially as we get older. Those who need dental care or a specific oral treatment can book a routine appointment with a Dentist while staying with us. 

Physiotherapist Access

Physiotherapy can be organised for those of our residents who are suffering from joint or muscular pain. Whether residents require a one-off session to fix an individual targeted area, or prefer to continue on a specific course for a series of weeks, they are able to talk with a member of a team to discover what the best course of action.

Chiropodist Access

Residents who suffer with foot-related concerns can schedule a visit from a Chiropodist to treat any problems they might have. Please note that this will incur an extra cost, however, and is not included within the overall fee of staying with us at Struan Lodge Care Home.
