Staffing at Suillean House is of an extremely high standard. All staff receive regular training that specialises in our residentís needs and requirements. The high staffing levels enable our residents to partake in many activities including organised trips and annual holidays.

Continuing education into adulthood

Our residents are given opportunities to continue to learn and develop new skills using the ASDAN towards independence programme and through utilising activity rotas that are devised with the individual's interests in mind.

Residents' independence is at the forefront of our minds and this shows in how staff support the residents to run the home. Activities such as food shopping, choosing of decor and furniture, upkeep of the home, cooking of meals, planning of activities and outings amongst many others promote and encourage this.

At Suillean House we believe that each resident is treated as an individual, and any plans of care should be tailored to suit their own needs and wishes. Experience has taught us that promoting individual needs allows the residents to flourish and make their own decisions on how they wish to live their life.

As our mission statement suggests we continuously strive for excellence in the care of our residents and our vision is to have the best assisted living environment available.
