Notwen House Recognised for Outstanding Care in Scottish Parliament

Scottish Care is delighted to share that Notwen House received formal recognition in the Scottish Parliament on 21 August 2025. A motion lodged by Emma Harper MSP and supported by several other MSPs highlighted the home’s outstanding commitment to residential care.

The motion celebrates the dedication of the Notwen House team, including long-serving staff, for creating a warm, person-centred environment for residents. It also commends the leadership of owner Jim Gatherum and manager Julie Morley, whose compassion and professionalism have earned the home a reputation for excellence.

The Scottish Parliament motion also recognises the unique challenges of delivering care in rural settings and applauds Notwen House for its focus on continuity, experience, and staff training, fostering a truly supportive and caring community for both residents and team members.

Congratulations to the entire Notwen House team on this well-deserved recognition!
