About Ardnahein Care
Ardnahein Care Home — a warm, green, and connected family-run home in the heart of Dunoon. Here, care is personal, life is shared, and every day feels like home.
Our story began with a simple goal:
To create a care home where people feel truly valued, comfortable, and part of something special. At Ardnahein, we provide person-centred residential, dementia, respite, and palliative care in a setting that blends comfort with community.
We’re proud to have been recognised as one of the Top 20 Care Homes in Scotland, reflecting our commitment to quality, compassion, and genuine connection.
We welcome reviews from residents/service users and their family/friends. Your review will help others to make an informed decision about the care provider they choose.
Warm.
From cosy lounges to home-cooked meals and joyful activities, we make sure residents feel safe, loved, and part of our extended family.
Green.
From our sensory garden and outdoor spaces to trips into nature at Benmore Botanic Garden. Nature is part of our care, bringing calm, colour, and connection to daily life.
Connected.
Ardnahein works closely with local schools, nurseries, and volunteers, creating intergenerational friendships and moments of joy that make a difference.
