Ochil Care Home in Perth

Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, Ochil is a purpose built home in a beautiful residential setting in Perth, on the edge of the Highlands.

We provide first-class 24-hour nursing care alongside expert care for people with dementia in our dedicated Memory Lane Community.

Glendevon is a facility within Ochil offering support for younger adults with a physical disability where dignity and independence have top priority. Our accommodation in Glendevon has been created specifically for younger adults with complex needs who require therapy to improve quality of life and independence.
