A luxury Fife care home with its own cinema and beauty salon has celebrated its first anniversary.
And residents have declared it a “wonderful” place to live.
Dalgety Bay Care Home also boasts a champagne bar that can be booked for family gatherings.
Meanwhile, a comfortable and well-stocked library offers a tranquil place to sit and read.
The Harbour Way development is a far cry from care homes of the past.
A movie afternoon every Friday includes popcorn and sweets, with residents offered a cinema-style velvet chair.
For the more active residents, there is also a small pitch and putt course in the garden.
Built at a cost of £8 million, Dalgety Bay Care Home is operated by Morrison Community Care (CCG).
And it offers both residential and nursing care.
We were invited to take a peek inside during an official opening celebration this week.

Margaret Murray, 87, is one of 27 Dalgety Bay residents and was enjoying a glass of champagne in the home’s celebration room when we arrived.
She said: “This is a wonderful place because it’s so beautiful and you couldn’t get better carers anywhere.
“I’ve been to the cinema and it’s very comfortable. But I haven’t been to the champagne bar yet.
“All our meals are home cooked and they’re absolutely super.”
The purpose-built hair salon is one of the most popular facilities.
A hairdresser visits every weekend and residents can also invite their own stylist.
Meanwhile, the library has a large selection of books.
What about the bedrooms?
Bright modern bedrooms include single or double beds and couples can stay together.
And while there is a large communal sitting room, each of the care home’s seven wings – or communities as they are known – include a snug with a TV and a gas fire.
All the communities also have their own balcony and a bistro with a kitchenette.
