Thistle House is a purpose-built building with its own gardens. The service delivers 24 hour care and support within a structured environment. There are a number of living areas for individuals to choose from, whether they want time to socialise as a group, or to spend time alone. Everyone has their own en-suite bedroom, which they are encouraged to decorate and personalise to suit their own personal style.

The service also features a state of the art sensory room as well as a number of different outdoor spaces for individuals to choose from. There is a supported life skills kitchen where individuals can plan and cook meals and snacks for themselves and their visitors.

Thistle House is located in the city of Dundee, which has an extensive array of community amenities, including leisure centres, social clubs, shops, colleges, and work placement settings. Individuals can also enjoy walks and visits to the nearby botanical gardens and Discovery Quay.

The dedicated activity coordinator supports residents to have individual activity plans, based on each person’s likes and hobbies. Their goal is to enable residents to structure their time, build relationships and establish a balance between therapy, self-care, work and leisure.

Individuals come to Thistle House for different reasons; they may require more support than can be provided in a supported living setting, or they may be moving along their care pathway from a hospital placement. Whatever the reason, Thistle House can offer specialist input based on individual need to deliver flexible and effective support.
