Meet The Manager
Keiron Mellotte is Care Home Manager at Lammermuir House.
The best thing about working here is the exceptional team of staff. They are a family and a unit and do great work every single day. What I enjoy most about my job is getting to spend time with residents, to hear their stories, know that we are adding value to their lives and making a difference.
Lammermuir House Care Home is ideally situated near the sea in Dunbar, offering stunning views over the Firth of Forth. The home enjoys easy access to local shops, amenities, public transport, and the A1 motorway, providing both convenience and a peaceful coastal setting.
This purpose-built care home offers comfortable accommodation in single-occupancy rooms, each with en-suite facilities, ensuring privacy and comfort for residents.
Lammermuir House features a variety of communal spaces, including TV lounges, a quiet sitting room for relaxation, and separate dining rooms with picturesque sea views where residents can socialise during mealtimes. Traditional home-cooked meals are prepared using fresh produce, with daily menu choices available. Residents are also welcome to dine in the comfort of their own rooms if preferred. Small private parties and guest entertainment can be arranged for an additional fee.
The home provides a range of additional services, including regular visits from an experienced hair stylist and qualified chiropodist. Complementary therapies can also be arranged if required. Laundry services for residents are provided on-site. A varied programme of activities is offered to engage residents and enhance their wellbeing, with visitors always welcome at any time.
