“We know there isn’t a one-size-fits- all approach and I’m excited to continue to take that philosophy forward. I’m also looking to bring in more dementia-friendly areas in the home, as well as garden-related activities that will encourage residents to spend more time outside in our beautiful gardens.”

Elaine heads up 38 staff at Balhousie Moyness. The 29-room care home is set in landscaped lawns and a walled garden, which includes a summer house.
