01796 473280Pitlochry Care Home – Contemporary Collection

Hello. I’m Keith Porter and I’m the very proud manager of Balhousie Pitlochry Care Home.

Balhousie Care Group commissioned this 50 bedroom care home to be built in 2009 and it opened in January 2010. Many visitors comment that the home feels more like a smart and airy hotel as opposed to a care home. Certainly the design is quite unlike any other care I’ve ever known or seen. Balhousie Pitlochry Care Home is set in the idyllic and popular tourist town of Pitlochry in the heart of Highland Perthshire, and is safely situated in a quiet, green and leafy location edging onto natural woodland.

You are most welcome to arrange a visit where I will gladly show you around and let you see why we’re all so proud and passionate about the work we do in the wonderful surroundings we’re lucky enough to call our place of work.

To arrange an appointment to view our home or to find out more about the care we provide please call 01796 473280 or contact me online.

care home meals and nutrition

Caring for the diet of our residents and making sure they have nutritious meals is an area where you'll find our managers, our staff and most importantly our chefs extremely engaged and active.

The catering and hospitality services teams at Balhousie Care Group are constantly looking at ways we can improve our food and refreshment offerings. Recently, new menus have been introduced that have a greater content of fresh, local produce. This is part of an ongoing process of reviewing and responding to resident requests for more variety and choice.

In addition to the availability through the day of favourites such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate, our residents are also encouraged to drink a healthy amount of other fluids, including a special range of tasty squashes and refreshing fruit drinks to aid their hydration. This also makes a valuable contribution to bladder health and fitness.

By prior arrangement close family or relatives can join us at lunch or evening time to see for themselves just how tasty mealtimes at a Balhousie Care home can be.
