Here at Balhousie Rumbling Bridge Care Home we offer a full range of caring support: nursing, respite care, Alzheimer’s & dementia care and Huntington’s disease.
Making yourself at home
Rumbling Bridge care home is a community of caring people – staff, residents and relatives alike – all working together to ensure a warm, compassionate and comforting environment. We know that it can be a big decision to leave somewhere that has been your home for many years, but everyone here is passionate about making this your home from home.
We aim to provide the flexibility and comfort you’ve enjoyed previously, with the knowledge that, if and when you need support, you’re surrounded by professional and caring people.
Within our specialist Huntington’s and EMI units, rooms are designed with consideration to the needs of people living with this condition.
The combination of specialist facilities and our fully trained care teams allow us to deliver personalised care and kindness to all our residents, designed to enhance the quality of life.
Activities at Rumbling Bridge Care Home
We know events help improve overall physical strength and mental well-being, and seeing residents blossom, as our approach brings out the best in them and for them, is an absolute joy.
Regular organised activities vary and can include seated exercises, entertainment with regular shows, quizzes and concerts; hobbies, such as arts and crafts, flower arranging, painting and card making; and games.
Events are always optional, but our activity champions help deliver a full calendar of structured and meaningful activities. Family and friends can also participate; so there’s bound to be lots that appeals. We also encourage strong ties with our community and take regular day trips in our mini bus.
