We’re proud of our team at Allanbank Care Home. They go above and beyond to support our residents – this was recognised with the Scotland Care Home of the Year Award at the Caring UK Awards 2023.

Sanctuary Care is also proud to be a not-for-profit care provider across Scotland and England. It means any surplus income goes back into what matters most to us – our residents, staff and homes.

We continually reinvest to ensure the levels of bespoke care we deliver are the very best they can be.

It is common for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their care home fees. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.

Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents due to the difference in care requirements and are subject to a pre-admissions assessment.
