Meet The Manager
Fiona Day is Care Home Manager at Forth Bay.
I joined Forth Bay as a newly qualified Staff Nurse in 2001 and have since taken on a number of senior roles including Charge Nurse and Deputy Manager. It is this in-depth knowledge of the home that has equipped me well as Home Manager.
I strive to give our residents the care and lifestyle they wish to have and endeavour to involve them in every aspect of their care.
As well as spending time with residents and making sure that they are comfortable, safe and happy, I see it as an important part of my role to act as a mentor to my team. I firmly believe that a happy, fulfilled and motivated staff team puts us in a better position to consistently deliver a high standard of care.
Located in Kincardine on Forth, and easily accessible from Glasgow and Edinburgh, Forth Bay Nursing Home in Fife provides specialist nursing and dementia care. Our purpose built care home which includes fantastic facilities is in a beautiful location close to the River Forth.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
