What is the Caledonian House?
For more than 100 years, The Scottish Home has been providing senior citizens with quality care and a warm community for residents and their families.  In an effort to provide the community with enhanced memory care, The Scottish Home is opening the Caledonian House this Summer.

This new facility is our response to the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.  Each of the Caledonian House’s two floors will be home to 10 residents in which they can enjoy private bedrooms, full bathrooms and a community space for lounging, cooking and dining.  In addition to a home-like setting, the Caledonian House also provides the best care possible for residents in need of skilled nursing and memory care.

The Scottish Home is currently accepting admission applications for The Caledonian House!  If you are interested in learning more about our facility, set up a tour with our team.  If you would like to learn more about memory care and health issues affecting the elderly, we invite you to join us for our Wednesday Brunch Series during the month of June.
