Welcome to Tor-Na-Dee

Tor-Na-Dee is a beautiful care home that provides a wide variety of care services for older people, from residential and nursing care through to short-term respite and specialist dementia care. We also offer supportive and compassionate palliative and end of life care.

Residents have the freedom to enjoy the shared living spaces, where they are welcome to relax, read or even take part in an activity. Our wonderful gardens are a focal point of the home, with a courtyard, patio, summer house, attractive lawns and a wildlife area. At residents’ request, we even adopted some chickens, which residents help to care for.

Care UK is the top-rated private care provider in Scotland, according to The Care Inspectorate. We have the highest percentage of Excellent and Very Good–rated homes amongst our private competitors, with 100% of our homes achieving Excellent, Very Good or Good ratings.

We are proud to be accredited with the Gold Standards Framework Care Homes Programme. This demonstrates our skill and commitment to delivering high quality, person-centred care to residents at the end of their life.

We pride ourselves on the transparency of our care quality and fee information - ensuring you can trust us to care from that very first step.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Tor-Na-Dee care home.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the love and care you gave my mother. I will forever be grateful for the compassion you showed her. Your work is not just a job, it is a gift to those in your care and their families. I hold the deepest admiration for you all.

Family of a resident, February 2025

Together you continue to create a friendly, compassionate and joyful home for the residents and their visitors. I have been acquainted with Tor-Na-Dee when my mother was so well cared for some years ago and my family still appreciate that today in our memories. I am now a PoA for an elderly gentleman in Tor-Na-Dee where I very happily secured accommodation for him, and I am delighted that you and several of your staff provide continuity in the home.

The communication between the administration, the nurses, the carers and the doctors from the practice and myself is outstanding. My elderly friend is so well cared for, never complains. I am happy and will continue to recommend Tor-Na-Dee to anyone seeking quality, dignity, respect and compassion in their later years.

Friend of a resident, December 2024

I just want to say how fabulous it was to walk into the D-day celebrations. I sat with Mum and looked around at everyone smiling, singing, laughing, clapping and dancing, it really was a fabulous sight, the atmosphere was bouncing!

The activities team are first class, and I love that all staff get involved, this really is what makes Tor Na Dee special.

Family of a resident, June 2024

I can't think of any cons. The staff are attentive and kind, they look after my loved one well. It's a nice place with good facilities. She's happy, secure and safe, and those were really the main concerns I had for my loved one.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Everyone is very friendly towards my loved one, she has a unique character, and they all know her and her ways… they have her best interests at heart. They get her involved in things. There are a lot of activities and entertainment for the resdients and it's pitched at the right level. I've seen her dancing on facebook and they have all sorts going on, they take them out for the day... I think it's perfect.
