Care Homes

Kincaid House - Greenock

This inspection was carried out by three inspectors from the Care Inspectorate. This was a focused inspection to evaluate how well people were being supported during the Covid-19 pandemic. We evaluated the service based on key areas that are vital to the support and wellbeing of people experiencing care during the pandemic.


Kincaid House is a care home registered for 90 older people. The service is located in a residential area of Greenock near local amenities including shops and transport links. The provider is Daviot Care Limited. The care home is a purpose built property with accommodation over three floors divided into three units (suites) - Arran, Bute and Waverly. All 90 bedrooms have en-suite facilities that include their own wet floor shower. There are lounge and dining facilities, small kitchen areas and adapted bathrooms on each level.


Additional quiet lounges and feature rooms, such as the cinema room, are available. The garden area is well landscaped and is pleasant and safe for residents to enjoy.
