Queens Care Home in Prestwick

The front of Queens Care Home stretches along Prestwick Beach, with a large decking and paved garden where our residents can enjoy the views and sea air. From here, you can see across to Ailsa Craig, also known as Paddy’s Milestone, an uninhabited island. The bedrooms at the front of the care home boast sea views across the South Ayrshire coastline, as does our Arran Lounge.

Many of our residents love our walks along the promenade, which is also wheelchair friendly for those with greater physical disabilities, into Prestwick town.  

Our residents enjoy regular rickshaw rides around the local community with Cycling Without Age Prestwick, especially those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. These are a real trip down memory lane. With the support of volunteer drivers, residents can visit places close to their hearts, for example, where they grew up or even their old school.

Therapet is another local organisation we are proud to welcome to Queens Care Home. Volunteers bring in well-behaved dogs along for pet therapy sessions. And recently we enjoyed a visit from some friendly alpacas! Other visitors we are looking forward to welcoming along are children from a local school in Prestwick.

A beauty therapist regularly visits our care home in Prestwick for pampering sessions. With hand massages and manicures, to more tailored trims for our gents, there is something for everyone.

We are also proud to be part of the Care Inspectorate’s Care About Physical Activity (CAPA) programme, which champions the importance of movement for the well-being of older people.

With our own chef and catering team, our residents enjoy home-cooking and baking every day. From more traditional Scottish dishes to fish and chip Fridays and roasts with all the trimmings, plus lighter bites like freshly-made soups.

The family and friends of our residents are very much part of our community here at Queens. We even have our own private Facebook group for loved ones, filled with photos and videos of what we’ve been getting up to.

As well as providing residential and dementia care, nursing and palliative care, we offer respite care breaks which can be booked in advance. These are perfect for caregivers in our local community who look after elderly loved ones. By booking a respite stay you can recharge your batteries, knowing your loved ones are in safe hands.

It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care.

Some people have the resources to pay for their accommodation in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.
