The dedicated team, led by experienced care professionals, ensures that each resident receives personalised attention, fostering both physical well-being and emotional fulfilment.

Strengthening Intergenerational Bonds Through Football

In a recent initiative to deepen community ties, Auchtercrag House sponsored the local Ellon Meadows 2009s. This partnership aims to bridge generational gaps, bringing together residents and young athletes in shared experiences and mutual appreciation.

The collaboration has led to joint events where residents attend matches, share stories of their own sporting days, and even host players for tea and conversations. These interactions have proven invaluable, offering residents a renewed sense of connection and purpose, while young players gain insights and wisdom from their elders.

Engaging Activities and Community Involvement

Beyond the football field, Auchtercrag House actively participates in various community events and hosts a wide variety of in-house activities tailored to residents' interests. From arts and crafts sessions to gardening clubs, musical afternoons, and themed celebrations, there's always something happening to keep spirits high and minds engaged.

The home's commitment to community involvement extends to collaborations with local schools, nurseries, and organisations, facilitating visits and joint projects that enrich the lives of all participants. These initiatives not only provide entertainment but also foster a sense of belonging and intergenerational understanding.

Families and residents consistently praise the compassionate care and vibrant atmosphere at Auchtercrag House.
