Fernlea House
On becoming part of the caring Kingdom Homes Ltd properties portfolio Fernlea House enjoyed a six-figure investment which encompassed an extensive refurbishment programme to ensure it both met and surpassed the high standards expected by proprietors Colin and Margaret Smart.
Fernlea House, Cardenden
Originally a house built in the early 1900's, Fernlea has benefited from two extensions since being converted to a care home, the first in 2001 and the second in 2004 when it was refurbished and redecorated throughout.
Fernlea can cater for 38 residents in 34 single rooms and two double rooms, all of which have en-suite toilet and shower facilities. During a further recent major refurbishment programme the Home was fitted with swing-free door closers which are linked to the fire detection system, and a sprinkler system was installed to all areas. These upgrades underline the priority that Kingdom Homes Ltd place on the safety of each and every one of our residents.
All Fernlea's public rooms, including the lounges and dining areas, are on the ground floor, with access to the mature garden areas via patio doors where residents can take a stroll or simply sit and enjoy the fresh air and flowers.
Although sitting at the heart of Cardenden, Fernlea House has immediate access to country park walks and the principally rural setting does not distance it from the many attractions of the surrounding Fife towns.
With regular outings to the shops, shows and other attractions regularly available as part of the Kingdom Homes Ltd outreach programme, there is always plenty to do - including a very busy schedule of events from exercise classes to reminiscence sessions and games, with inter-home competitions a regular and popular feature on the Fernlea calendar.
