Fairview House Care Home in Aberdeen

Fairview House is conveniently located close to plenty of local amenities and is within each reach of the beautiful Dee and Don countryside. Our purpose-built home provides 24-hour nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia. Our highly skilled and compassionate staff work hard to ensure Fairview House is not an establishment, but a home, with high quality care centred around the specific needs of each resident.

Dementia Care

The home's specialist Memory Lane Community utilises a careful blend of skills and techniques developed by leading experts in the field of dementia care, incorporating person-centred design in its use of colour and cues to help individuals navigate through the home, whilst thoughtful interior design features, such us adapted crockery and tableware assists with reminiscence. Communities are broken up into separate units with a family feel so people can feel safe and comfortable. Care is focused on independence, dignity and choice, with a person-centred approach. Staffing levels reflect the needs of residents, and people living with dementia are offered a range of activities to help preserve life skills, support interactions and retain a sense of purpose and selfhood.

Our high standards are reflected in all aspects of the home, including our hospitality and cooking. The home also has a wonderful and varied activities programme, centred around the needs and interests of residents. We provide concerts and church services every month and have daily programmes of activities, such as bingo, crafts, a beauty group and gardening. We also frequently go to coffee mornings in our local community and have regular outings in our minibus.

We believe the best way to judge a home is to visit and see how care and support is provided. So please feel free to drop in or give us a call.

Types of care

The care we provide is delivered in a way that promotes independence for those who live in our home. Where possible, it is important that residents are encouraged to perform daily tasks independently or with minor support. Our services are devised with individualised treatment in mind for each person, so getting to know everyone and understanding their needs is imperative to delivering bespoke, person-centred care.

Our Team

Mel Shearer

General Manager

Hi, my name is Mel and I am the General Manager here at Fairview House. Welcome to our website!

Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.

With a rich background in healthcare and a dedication to excellence, I bring extensive experience in care home management to my role at Barchester. My UK career began within the NHS in 2003, where I developed a strong foundation in healthcare before moving into care home management.

Over the years, I’ve broadened my skills and deepened my understanding of what it takes to deliver excellent care. I am passionate about creating an environment where residents receive exceptional, person-centred care tailored to their unique needs and preferences promoting their dignity and choice.

I believe each resident deserves a warm supportive atmosphere that feels like home and I am committed to leading my team to make this a reality every day.
