Situated in the picturesque village of Deanston, Doune and benefits from being in large grounds on the edge of the village, so is close to all amenities.
Deanston House is a 19th century, category B listed, country manor which has been sensitively renovated to provide high quality accommodation for Service Users, whilst maintaining all aspects of the external fabric and internal features of the original manor house.
The service offers a high standard off Nursing care and support for people with Learning Disabilities who may also have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder or behaviour which is challenging to support.
The home provides 3 individual and independent suites accommodating 6 Service Users in each with a further two studio apartments on the ground floor.
In any residential home there can be improvements. However, at Deanston they strive to give the best service to the client and their families. They will try and accommodate to different needs and give individuals opportunities when staff ratio allows.
They have kept everyone safe during the height of the Covid Pandemic and tried to provide stimulating activities in-house to clients. Very pleased with this residential placement
Social Worker from Argyll and Bute
I’d say that Deanston House have always communicated promptly and effectively. I never have to wait long for an answer and the staff have kept me up to date with how my client has settled. The staff give off a confidence that they are able to handle complex situations and so far this has proved correct. I’m very happy with the experience of dealing with everyone so far and would be confident referring others.
