Staff at Drumdarroch have decided to hold a fun in-house fundraiser on the last Friday of each month.
We have lots of ideas for these events. Last month we had a “fancy hat” day.
Staff and visitors each paid £1 to wear our best hats with some residents making their hats for the occasion!
It was great fun!
Our scarecrows ready for judging in Scarecrow Festival.
Fingers crossed!
We are excited to announce that three of our dedicated Care Assistants have been promoted to the role of Senior Care Assistant! This promotion reflects their outstanding commitment, hard work, and the exceptional care they provide.
Please join us in congratulating:
Their new roles will help us continue delivering the highest standard of care and support to those we serve.
We look forward to the positive impact they will make in their new capacities
Our lovely Domestic Assistant, Caroline, celebrated a special birthday last week.
Many happy returns from all at Drumdarroch x
I would like to thank everyone, for their ongoing support and hard work that was put into our coffee morning last Friday. It is very much appreciated, and it was a great day, much enjoyed with tenants’ family & friends who all come along to support Magdalen’s coffee morning . Apologies we were all too busy having fun that we did not get many photos of the day.
It is the first time that Magdalen has hosted a MacMillan coffee morning and we decided to do this in memory of Alan Douglas who we sadly lost to Cancer on the 9th May this year.
The amount raised for MacMillian Cancer Support from Magdalen House is £1420
Which is a fantastic amount, well done everyone who supported Magdalen.
We are very proud to announce Harestane Care Home has been featured in The Sunday Times as one of the top ten Care Homes in Scotland in their Care Home League Table for 2024.
The Care Inspectorate ranks care homes on a six-point scale from “excellent” to “unsatisfactory” across five categories of wellbeing, leadership, staff and setting, as well as care and support.
The Sunday Times aggregates these grades into a total score of up to 30 to produce its annual Care Home League Table.
Top ten care homes in Scotland according to recent inspections
1. Robert Douglas Memorial Home, Perth and Kinross
2. Abbeyfield Ballachulish, Highland
3. Balcarres, Dundee city
4. Gowanlea, Stirling
5. Cluny Lodge Nursing Home, Edinburgh
6. Harestane Nursing Home, Dundee city
7. St Ninians Care Home, Perth and Kinross

Well done to Maggie, Jaqueline & the whole team at Harestane for achieving this. This is quite an achievement especially considering there are more than 1000 care homes in Scotland.
Some of our residents enjoyed rickshaw rides in Inverurie this week.
It was a chilly day but still enjoyed by all who took part.
Our Employee of the Month for August is Alison.
Alison was nominated by family members for taking time to chat and reminisce with their Mum.
Well done, Alison!
Our residents had lots of fun this week making scarecrows for our village annual Scarecrow Festival.
These will be displayed and judged over the weekend.
This beautiful photograph of Drumdarroch was taken by our night nurse, Nisha, this morning
