Meet The Manager
Michelle Ruiz-Beltran is Manager at Airthrey Care Home.
Our home is a focal point in the local community and we are known for our excellent standard of care. We regularly engage in community initiatives to help bring more awareness to the work we do and make our residents feel at home.
Our aim is for residents to feel like they are a part of the Airth community and we encourage participation in local events and activities whenever possible.
We have a cycle trishaw – a special bike designed to carry two passengers – which allows us to take our residents out and about for a ride around the local area. This is a hugely social experience and our neighbours are now used to seeing us wheeling around Airth!
Our private garden area serves as an ideal space for relaxation and group activities. We also offer generously proportioned bedrooms with full en-suite shower facilities. Appointments are not required for those interested in touring the home and our staff would be more than happy to assist with any queries.
Airthrey Care Home provides high-quality nursing, dementia, and respite care in a warm and welcoming environment. Located in Aith, Falkirk, our care home is designed to offer comfort, security, and support while promoting independence and well-being for every resident.
With 52 private ensuite bedrooms, Airthrey Care Home ensures a homely atmosphere where residents feel safe and valued. Our experienced team delivers specialist dementia care, focusing on dignity, respect, and tailored support to enhance quality of life.
Life at Airthrey is enriched through a varied activities programme, encouraging social connections and engagement. From arts and crafts to music sessions, gentle exercise, and community outings, residents have plenty of opportunities to stay active and involved.
Dining is an important part of our care, with nutritious, home-cooked meals prepared daily by our skilled chefs. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, we cater to all dietary needs, ensuring every resident enjoys delicious and balanced meals.
