New design in care home goes on display

LONDON: A short film offers a glimpse inside a brand new care home aiming to become an integral part of the local community.

Parkland Care Homes produced the video to offer locals an insight into the facility which has been called Eilean Dubh, the Gaelic for Black Isle.

A spokesman said: “Ordinarily we would host a community open day at the launch of a new care home but that hasn’t been possible during the pandemic. This video is designed to give local people an insight into the care home, the facilities it offers and its approach to care.”

There are contributions from the architect, Bryan McFadzean, Black Isle Cares chairman Brian Devlin, the new manager at Eilean Dubh, Sharon Reid, and Parklands MD Ron Taylor.

The first residents are now settling in to the home with more due to join them next week.
