We are well-known for the creative ways we engage with our residents. Our aim is to discover what’s important to them, identifying individual aspirations, goals and ambitions for their time with us. Our residential and nursing care is always delivered with patience, kindness, understanding and good communication. Our focus is on delivering the very best nursing care and support to residents, but we also place emphasis on creating a truly nurturing environment in which people thrive.
We are proud to have been shortlisted in the 2020/21 Scottish Care Home Awards for our innovative approach to providing meaningful activity for our residents.
