Care from the Heart

Forget any preconceived notions you had of care homes being dull and depressing as Carecast visits Speyside care home in Aberlour. Speyside personifies Parklands’ commitment to meaningful connections that inspire and empower residents. On a busy day at Speyside - a home very much at the heart of the community - we meet local families at a children's holiday playscheme, and hear performances from the home's Heartstrings Choir. They've proved such a hit, they’re now embarking on a tour of neighbouring care homes, and residents from nearby Glenisla have also joined the ensemble.

This episode is dedicated to our dear friend Betty Hay, loved and cherished by all at Speyside Care Home.
