A home away from home
Transitioning into life at a care home can be a lot for people to get used to; new home, new neighbours and new care staff to support you every day and night.
While we all live under the same roof at Ardtully, no two people’s care is the same. We provide bespoke packages of care and day-to-day routines, so that everyone maintains their independence, autonomy and lives life the way that they want to.
The care we provide
Residential care is a great option for when you or your loved one is in need of some additional care and support, for any number of reasons. Whether you have noticed a significant deterioration in mobility or cognition, or if your loved one is in need of a short visit to our care home after surgery, Ardtully can provide the right level of care and support at any time.

Long-term care:
Many of our residents here at Ardtully stay with us on an ongoing basis. Ardtully is their permanent home. Residents opt for long-term care if they are living with a health condition, have limited mobility or if their loved ones don’t live nearby and are in need of some peace of mind.
Respite care:
Taking care of a friend or relative can be extremely tiring and it’s important you take a break so you can continue to provide a high level of care. At Ardtully we welcome residents on a respite basis, so their regular carer has time to recuperate. Whether it’s for a long weekend or a few months, we can help to lighten the load.
Dementia care
There are lots of different types of dementia which affect people in different ways and our carers are trained to understand this. Routine and familiarity are vital for those living with dementia and life in a care home can provide just that. Coupled with a person’s own belongings and regular visits from loved ones, residential care at Ardtully can provide you with the peace of mind that your relative is being taken care of every day.
Convalescent care:
Convalescent care is temporary care for you or a loved one when you or they are recovering from an illness, accident or surgery. If your loved one is usually independent, but is recovering from a recent hip replacement or a stay in hospital then convalescent care could be the perfect way to get them back on their feet. Convenient care which is on-hand 24/7 will give you peace of mind that your loved one is on the road to recovery. Short-term care can also be a good way to see if your loved one might enjoy residential care in later life, should their circumstances change.

Events
At Ardtully Retirement Residence we like to welcome the local community into our home to spend time with our residents. Our events take the form of musical entertainment, dances and afternoon teas and community engagement in the form of societies and groups.
We have no shortage of our own occasions to celebrate too. We provide home-made cake and decorations for birthdays and every celebration, milestone and achievement is a whole-home affair! Events at Ardtully keep us busy, stimulated and are a great way to provide a lift in morale.
Getting out and about
Activities aren’t limited to the four walls of our care home. Our staff take residents out and about to garden centres, cafes and local shops so they are able to enjoy all that our community has to offer.
We have a mobility-friendly vehicle which means we can take those with physical disabilities or limitations out to their favourite spots and include them in everything we get up to at Ardtully.
We have a close relationship with our local community and we encourage all residents who are able to enjoy the local area to do so with us.
Mealtimes
At Ardtully we have a seasonal menu planned by our kitchen team, with fresh meals prepared every day. We accommodate each resident’s dietary requirements and personal preferences so they enjoy their meals just as they would have when at home.
It’s important to us that residents can make their own choices about their care, their lives and the way they enjoy their meals.
