Situated in the quiet and peaceful Broughty Ferry area of Dundee, Thistle House benefits from the many local amenities nearby. Just 2 miles to the east is Broughty Ferry Beach and Broughty Castle Museum, whilst 3 miles west will take you into Dundee City Centre where you will find a large range of community amenities. If you are looking for somewhere quieter, then just next door to the service is a lovely park with plenty of green open space.
Every individual that comes to Thistle House is unique in their own way. We ensure that we have a robust transition plan in place so that we can focus on the needs of that individual and that the support provided is person-centred.
Everything we do is catered around their needs, whether that be going out on an excursion, visiting their families, attending college or perhaps making their own cup of tea. Individuals will be supported to access the community while expanding on the daily living skills they have learned and will continue to develop whilst at the service.
The individuals we support at Thistle House may be stepping down from a hospital provision or they may need a more robust package of care than can be provided in their own tenancy. Each individual receives a care and support plan which is tailored to their own needs enabling them to achieve successful community living.
