We are based in the Thistle Suite, in the Bellfield Centre, Stirling Health and Care Village. The Thistle Suite has 15 single rooms, all furnished with a mini fridge, an en-suite bathroom with shower, a TV and space for visitors.
In the unit, there is a kitchen that is used for cooking practice. There is a communal area where patients are welcome to have their meals, watch TV and socialise, and a balcony area where patients and their families can sit outside. On the balcony we also carry out the gardening club where patients grow plants, vegetables and flowers. We have access to the on-site gym and use it daily for physiotherapy or occupational therapy.
In the Bellfield building, there is also a hairdresser (available on specific days) and two social rooms where regular social activities are held (e.g. the arts club).
Outside the Bellfield building there are benches and tables for everyone to use and some garden spaces. In the main community building (opposite Bellfield) there is a lovely cafe open to everyone.
