Carrondale Care Home Recognised in Lodged Parliamentary Motion for Outstanding Person-Centred Care
Carrondale Care Home in Falkirk has been highlighted in the Scottish Parliament through a motion recently lodged by Michelle Thomson MSP (Falkirk East Constituency) acknowledging the team’s exceptional commitment to person-centred care and creating meaningful opportunities for residents.
The motion was lodged on 15 May 2025 and shines a spotlight on Carrondale’s dedication to improving the lives of residents through education, celebration, and support.
Working alongside Falkirk Council and Forth Valley College, Carrondale has helped residents, including those with complex needs, to gain Level 2 qualifications through the Multiply Maths programme, with some progressing to achieve SQA Level 3 certificates. Further funding has enabled residents to take courses in English, cookery, and digital skills, encouraging continued learning and confidence building.
The motion also celebrates Carrondale’s efforts to mark special occasions, including the 100th birthday of resident Margaret Forest, with a visit from Provost Robert Bissett and a performance from the Jenkins School of Highland Dancers.
A special mention goes to Linda Stewart, Carrondale’s Wellbeing Coordinator, who has been shortlisted for the Dementia Care Awards 2025, recognising her outstanding work supporting people living with dementia and learning disabilities.
In her letter to Carrondale, Michelle Thomson MSP wrote:
“Learning of the fantastic work that your staff have continued to carry out, exemplifying the ethos of person-centred care, I believe recognition in Parliament is rightfully deserved.”
Scottish Care congratulates the entire team at Carrondale for their leadership and compassion in delivering social care that truly puts people first.
