The types of care we provide

Convalescence Care

Support to get people feeling their best before returning home after time in hospital, an operation or a period of illness.

Dementia Care

A person with dementia may need more care and support as their condition progresses. Care at our home can help them to live well with dementia.

Permanent Care

From the day our residents move in, we do everything to help them settle in as well as offering support for the whole family.

Palliative Care

Working closely with GPs and other health specialists, we make sure individuals are as comfortable as possible. We understand and respect their wishes and provide support for families too.

Nursing Care

Our own fully qualified Nurses have specialist expertise and are chosen for their compassion and experience.

Respite Care

Respite stays can be tailored to each person’s individual care needs which can be from a few days or for as long as is needed.

Living well with Dementia

We are proud to be the only care home group to have our own unique award-winning dementia training ‘My World’ which is accredited by City and Guilds. It highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, in addition to addressing clinical aspects of care.

Keeping things personal

At Forth Bay Nursing Home

The wonderful surroundings at Forth Bay Nursing Home are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.

We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.

Every need catered for

Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Forth Bay Nursing Home. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing. Our chefs select a different menu each day, creating lots of home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients to choose from. Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.

A real occasion

The dining rooms at Forth Bay Nursing Home are laid out in a restaurant style, with tablecloths, folded napkins, crockery and glassware. If preferred, meals can also be served in an individual’s room.

A chance to relax

We make sure mealtimes are a relaxed, enjoyable experience. Team members sit with residents to have a chat and support those who need a little extra encouragement or help.

In good company

Visitors are welcome to join us for a morning coffee or stay for a meal. On special occasions, we can also arrange intimate get-togethers and parties for families and friends.

Keep doing what you love

At Forth Bay Nursing Home, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy – from the craft room to the hair salon, our packed schedule of events and activities, to picnics in the garden. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or have a pint in the local pub. We have strong connections with the Kincardine on Forth community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.

Keeping busy

There are group activities to enjoy seven days a week, including crafts, quizzes, films and live entertainment. We also love one-to-one time with residents doing something they would like to do.

Out and about

Friends and family are welcome to visit whenever they like, and where better for a catch up than the lounge? If residents fancy a day trip, we’ll often pop out for tea and cake too.

House proud

We encourage residents to get involved with activities around the house. Simple things like gardening, hosting afternoon tea or laying the table for dinner can spark up friendships and help residents settle in.

Meet the Manager

Fiona Day

I joined Forth Bay as a newly qualified Staff Nurse in 2001 and took on a number of senior roles, including Charge Nurse in 2003 and Deputy Manager in 2006, before eventually becoming the Home Manager.

This in-depth knowledge of the home helped me prepare for my role as Home Manager and I am working hard to ensure that those in my care continue to lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive. I strive to give our residents the care and lifestyle they wish to have, and endeavour to involve them in every aspect of their care.

As well as spending time with residents and making sure that they are comfortable, safe and happy, I see it as an important part of my role to act as a mentor to my Care Team. I firmly believe that a happy, fulfilled and motivated Team will be able to deliver consistently high standards of care.

I enjoy a range of hobbies outside of work, including arts and crafts. Having lived in the region for over 30 years, I love nothing more than taking in the picturesque local scenery whilst walking my beloved dog.
