About Wastview (Care Home)

Wastview is a care home for older people located in Shetland, operated by Shetland Islands Council. With 15 beds, it is a smaller residential setting offering a more intimate and community-focused environment for its residents. At its most recent Care Inspectorate inspection in April 2025, Wastview achieved an average grade of Good, scoring 3.8 out of 6, reflecting a solid standard of care and service delivery.

The home provides general care for older people, supporting residents with a range of everyday needs in a comfortable and supportive setting. As a council-run facility, it forms an important part of the care provision available to older residents across the Shetland Islands community.

With its modest size and local operator, Wastview is well placed to offer personalised care to older people in one of Scotland's most distinct and remote island communities, ensuring residents can remain close to their families and familiar surroundings.
