What you can expect at Kinross Care Home
Built in the 1900’s, Kinross Care Home, otherwise known as “The Cottage”, is a residential care home that offers a range of double and single en-suite rooms, able to accommodate up to 29 people in a safe, pleasant and welcoming homely environment. In addition to the high-quality care we provide to our residents, we also provide a range of activities to keep our residents active, stimulated and happy. The Home benefits from a spacious garden area, overlooking the local church, where residents may enjoy picnics during the summer and watching fireworks and hot chocolate, during our annual bonfire night.
In addition to the luxurious rooms, residents and guests may enjoy two lounges, one where they may enjoy the company of other residents over a cup of tea and cake, or movie evening, or a quiet lounge should they be seeking some time alone. Our residents may also enjoy our delicious menu, carefully selected each season to ensure that their nutritional needs and preferences are catered for. As well as a selection of cakes and savoury snacks freshly prepared by our chefs daily.
If you feel like being pampered, we offer a weekly pamper day for our residents. Our pamper day is run by our very own carers who spend time offering manicures, hand massages and hair styling to make you feel special. We also benefit from our very own hairdressing service which residents may enjoy each week.
Here at Kinross Care Home, we are eager to build and maintain strong and lasting relationships with our community. That is why everything we offer is open to the community, from our weekly coffee mornings, visits from our local church, to a visiting volunteer. Come and experience a day at Kinross Care Home, we would love to show you what we have to offer.
Freshly cooked, fine food
Enjoying a reputation for serving fine food, the irresistible aroma of a freshly cooked meal often wafts through the Home, making it very difficult for visiting relatives not to want to sample the cuisine.
Our Head Chef and her Team pride themselves in serving up true “home cooked” meals, and nothing “pre-cooked” is served at Kinross. Every meal is lovingly prepared on site daily, using local fresh produce and seasonal vegetables. Fresh fish, meat, chicken, and dairy are sourced daily from independent suppliers allowing our Chef to prescribe the quality desired.
Our menus are carefully planned by our Head Chef and Head of Care quarterly, and whilst all meals have to offer our residents a balanced diet, nutrition, taste, and presentation are important elements. Our Care System flags up special dietary needs and this informs our Chef to further tailor our meals to our residents preference or requirement. For example, those suffering with Diabetes or experiencing difficulty swallowing, are diligently catered for.
You can enjoy a hot cup of tea with our freshly baked cakes looking out the garden from our quiet lounge, join the other residents in the dining lounge or in the comfort of your own room.
All our delicious confectionery is baked daily on site using real butter, full cream, and all the other decadent ingredients that our residents deserve. Even our yogurt, mousses, trifle, and other tantalising deserts are freshly made on site. Isn’t that what “high tea” was supposed to be all about? Naturally, this is one of the highlights of our residents’ day.
Activities to stimulate and entertain
A full range of activities designed on a monthly basis to both stimulate and entertain our residents is provided by the Home. Whilst some activities are delivered through specialist service providers, our care staff are also involved in running Quiz programs, Dance sessions, music and movement, one to one interaction, and taking residents for walks in our extensive grounds during summer. Frequent visits from the local nursery and schoolchildren are hugely popular and always add to the fun factor of the activities. Our Home is stocked with a comprehensive selection of music, film and books which allows residents to share their favourites with us and each other.
We also provide regular Pamper Days which our residents look forward to weekly. Residents may enjoy manicures, hand massages, nail painting plus some one-on-one pamper time. Our Coffee Mornings have also proven popular with residents and their relatives alike, a great way for us to connect with each other and the families of our residents. At Kinross, we understand that sometimes, a change of scenery can make a world of difference. We aim to arrange day outings in our local area for those who wish to join.
Special events like the Queens Jubilee, the Olympics, and Royal “occasions” are celebrated, as are events like Christmas, and Easter. These are organised internally and usually feature a themed dinner or lunch. Birthdays and anniversaries are also celebrated and the Home is always happy to work together with family members to celebrate other occasions.
An enduring trait of Kinross is that it really does feel like a large family home, the aroma of a fresh meal wafting through the air, the sound of familiar voices in the background and with our Care Staff catering to your every need. It’s the perfect place to spend your quality time.
