New £7.1m Care Home Opens In Glenrothes, Fife

A new £7.1 million care home has officially opened in Glenrothes, Fife.

The Napier House facility will provide a home for residents who previously stayed in Alan McLure and South Parks care homes.

In addition, it also provides day services for up to 20 older people from the local area.

The opening marks the completion of the first phase of the Care Village that will be built on the site. The facility will also include 30 extra care housing in a two storey 'complex' which includes a communal lounge area for tenants and a café area for the residents, families and wider community.

Co-Leader of Fife Council Cllr David Ross said: "Napier House provides the highest quality care and will allow integrated models of care to be developed to meet the individual needs of every resident. It's great to see residents in their new state of the art accommodation and hear how they are settling in. All the feedback we have had so far is extremely positive and very appreciative of the warm, friendly and comfortable environment."
