Pitkerro Care Centre is a highly-regarded, purpose-built nursing home located in the north of Dundee, offering comprehensive residential, nursing, and specialised care for up to 70 older adults. Nestled in a residential area, the centre enjoys a pleasant location overlooking the expansive greenery of Finlathen Park and the nearby Dighty Burn, providing residents with peaceful views and opportunities for outdoor engagement in the home’s secure, landscaped gardens.
The centre operates with a strong commitment to personalised and compassionate care, reflected in positive reviews and recent "Very Good" and "Outstanding" grades from the Care Inspectorate in key areas like wellbeing, staff, and support. Pitkerro distinguishes itself by offering a wide spectrum of care tailored to complex health needs. This includes standard residential and general nursing care, as well as specialised support for conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Stroke rehabilitation, and palliative/end-of-life care. The home is structured into four distinct units, with dedicated areas, including a specialised unit for complex dementia care.
Accommodation consists of 70 comfortable single bedrooms, each benefiting from en-suite shower facilities, ensuring privacy and dignity. Residents are actively encouraged to personalise their spaces with their own furniture and belongings to foster a true sense of home. Communal areas are tastefully decorated, providing large sitting and dining rooms on each unit, which serve as hubs for socialisation and activities.
A defining characteristic of Pitkerro is its lively, person-centred approach to activity and engagement, focusing on making life "anything but dull." The dedicated activities team organises a rich, inclusive programme that aims to promote personal fulfilment. This includes unique events like silent discos, themed parties, bread-making sessions, arts and crafts, and board games. Furthermore, the centre actively fosters community links, including inter-generational work with local nurseries and regular outings, ensuring residents remain connected to the wider Dundee community.
In essence, Pitkerro Care Centre is more than just a place for care; it strives to be a warm, supportive, and engaging community where specialist clinical needs are met with professionalism, and daily life is embraced with kindness, fun, and a deep respect for the individual's dignity and choice.
