Located in Kincardine on Forth, and easily accessible from Glasgow and Edinburgh, Forth Bay care & retirement home in Fife provides specialist nursing and dementia care for up to 54 elderly people. The home comprises four discrete elements: a 22 bed nursing care unit; a 14 bed unit for people living with dementia; a 9 bed unit for people with a learning disability; and a 9 bed enduring mental illness unit.

Forth Bay enjoys an excellent local reputation and has a friendly, happy atmosphere. Our highly trained nursing team and dedicated activities coordinator work with each individual we care for, along with their family and loved ones, to create tailored care plans with the aim of enabling residents to get the very most from life.

Each of the units within Forth Bay is fully equipped to meet the care needs of our residents. Our dementia unit has been designed to ensure that residents are able to move freely and safely, with bedrooms and communal areas appropriately laid out and clearly signposted to minimise confusion or disorientation.

Forth Bay is ideally equipped to provide nursing support for elderly people living with different types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and Korsacoff’s syndrome. However, staff never lose sight of the fact that, first and foremost, Forth Bay is home to our residents.

The home offers a full range of nursing and dementia care support, including trial stays, respite breaks and convalescent care as well as long term care. Residents are encouraged to bring important personal possessions to personalise their rooms. Forth Bay operates an open visiting policy, where residents and loved ones may visit at convenient times. In common with all of our homes, Forth Bay’s manager has a qualified nursing background. The home is fully registered with the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care and has ISO9001/2000 and Hospitality Assured accreditation.

Life in a Caring Home is viewed as a continuum of life – an opportunity to gain new experiences and learn new things – whilst maintaining your existing hobbies and interests.

At every Caring Home, there is a dedicated activities co-ordinator who is on hand to support residents in learning new hobbies and maintaining existing ones.

An activities programme is developed by the activities co-ordinators who work in conjunction with the clinical team in reviewing each individuals occupational interests and tailoring an activities programme that addresses them.

"My wife has been happy and contented in Forth Bay. She is well looked after. The environment is conducive to her welfare. The staff look after her well and she is happy and content, or as well as she can be in the circumstances. The overall living conditions and company all tend to enhance her day to day life." -

"Mum has been a resident here for almost 4 years. I reside out of the country so it is important that I know mum is well cared for. She is well taken care of at Forth Bay, I do not have to worry that her needs are met when I am not here. I keep in touch with the home (and they with me when needed). Mum is not really active now as she has had a stroke but she did participate in activities prior to that, day trips, entertainment, etc... carehomes.co.uk" -

"My Mum resided here for 5 weeks on an interim placement. She was very happy here, but had wanted to return to her home town. Whenever we visited, we could see how caring the staff were and how friendly they were. They were more than happy to answer any of my (many!) questions. Mum's room was large, the communal areas were of a good size. It just had a 'homely' feel to it, and Mum was treated with respect... carehomes.co.uk" -

"My dad has been a resident at Forth Bay for almost two and a half years. I found it difficult when he could no longer be cared for safely in his own home. Dad has however settled happily into his new home. Standards of the home are high. The staff are very caring and patient, residents are treated with respect, their preferences and individuality are always considered. The home is welcoming to visitors and standards of care and housekeeping are high... carehomes.co.uk" -

"My husband is a resident in Peppermill, the dementia unit (one of four separate units) at Forth Bay. Each unit is headed up by a qualified nurse and several (caring) carers. My experience of the nursing home is mainly concerned with the dementia unit. The staff report directly to an excellent manager who is always available to meet relatives and address any concerns they might have as their loved one's condition follows its sad course... carehomes.co.uk" -
