Before Pitfodels Wood opens, we want to be clear about one thing

This home isn’t just about a new building in Aberdeen.
It’s about the standard of care that will sit behind every door.

As part of preparing for Pitfodels Wood, we’ve taken time to reflect on what families already tell us matters most across our Meallmore homes – dignity, kindness, consistency and peace of mind.

These aren’t aspirations. They’re experiences shared by families who have trusted Meallmore with the care of their loved ones.

Pitfodels Wood is being shaped by those experiences. By nearly 40 years of learning what great care looks like in practice – not just in theory.

If you’re planning ahead for care, or simply want to understand the approach behind our newest home, we invite you to take a look.

We’ve been sharing a lot about people and connections recently, so today feels like a good moment to pause and show something simple but important 📍

This is where Pitfodels Wood sits.

Just along North Deeside Road, close to familiar routes and well-known local landmarks, including The Marcliffe Hotel and Spa. A part of Aberdeen many people already know well, even if they haven’t thought about it in this context before.

We like this view because it shows what matters most to us.

✔ connected, not tucked away
✔ part of an established area, not isolated
✔ close to everyday life, services and community

As Pitfodels Wood continues to take shape, its location will play a big role in how it feels to live and work here. Familiar surroundings. Easy access. A sense of place that already exists.

We’ll keep sharing updates as things progress, but sometimes it’s good to simply get your bearings and see how it all fits together 🤍

Before Christmas, while most people were juggling end-of-year chaos, festive plans and some pretty wild Aberdeen weather ❄️🌬️, our Home Manager, Amanda, was out and about doing something quietly important.

She spent time meeting local connections we’ll be working closely with once Pitfodels Wood opens – including a visit to The Marcliffe at Pitfodels and popping along to a local GP surgery to spread some cheer!

Nothing formal. Nothing flashy. Just conversations, introductions and getting to know the people who already make this area tick.

We’re sharing this now because it matters.

From day one, Pitfodels Wood is about being part of the local community – not separate from it. Making sure future residents remain connected to familiar places, services and faces. Making sure relationships are in place long before they’re ever needed.

Even in the middle of a busy festive period, with schedules stretched and the weather doing its thing, those connections were already being built 🤍

This is how Pitfodels Wood is taking shape.
Quietly. Thoughtfully. Locally.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 🌿

Long before Meallmore's Pitfodels Wood Care Home began to take shape, this part of Aberdeen was already a place of movement, connection and progress.

The land around Pitfodels is woven into the city’s history. Once home to grand estates and mature woodland, it later became part of the route of the Deeside Railway Line - a vital link that connected communities, people and livelihoods across the region. Where steam trains once passed, the route now lives on as a much-loved walking and cycling path, carrying forward the same spirit of connection, just in a quieter, more reflective way.

That sense of continuity matters. Because places like this aren’t just plots on a map - they’re chapters in a much longer story.

Today, Pitfodels Wood Care Home is being created with that history firmly in mind. Not as a replacement for what came before, but as a natural evolution of it. A place where heritage, landscape and community are respected - and where new life is brought thoughtfully into the area.

As the building rises, what’s emerging is more than bricks and mortar. Pitfodels Wood will offer top-tier care services, designed around dignity, comfort and truly person-centred support. Light-filled spaces. Thoughtful design. Outstanding hospitality. And care delivered by people who understand that this is not just a service - it’s a home.

In time, Pitfodels Wood will become a place where:

➡️ Families gather with confidence and peace of mind
➡️ Residents feel safe, valued and connected
➡️ The community continues to be part of everyday life

It’s about honouring the past while building something exceptional for the future. A continuation of heritage - not an interruption of it.

If you’d like to follow the journey, learn more about what’s coming, or be among the first to explore life at Pitfodels Wood, we’d love to keep you updated.

This December, colleagues, residents, families and friends from across all 27 Meallmore care homes came together to do something truly special.

Through our Meallmore Reindeer Run, we collectively:
✔ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝟰,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀
✔ 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 £𝟮,𝟮𝟲𝟬 𝗳𝗼𝗿 Cash for Kids – 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀
✔ 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 to support children and families across our local communities

From walking, wheeling, cycling and adapting activities, to festive costumes, creativity and teamwork, this was a challenge that everyone could be part of — and that’s what made it so powerful.

More than a fundraiser, the Reindeer Run was about:
💚 Inclusion and connection
💚 Bringing people together
💚 Supporting families beyond our homes
💚 Showing what’s possible when communities work as one

A huge thank you to every resident, colleague, family member and supporter who took part, donated, cheered us on or helped make this happen. This is what makes Meallmore such a special community - and why we’re so proud of the people who live and work in our homes.

What a way to finish the year. 🎄✨

Meallmore’s Reindeer Run saw 27 care homes travel 4,800 miles, raising £2,260 and donating over 250 gifts for Cash for Kids.

A vision starting to take shape...Pitfodels Wood Care Home in Aberdeen 🚧

Pitfodels Wood, our £20M, 65-bed care home set to open in 2026. The foundations are down, the structure is rising, and the dream is becoming real.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿:

The development will create around 80 local jobs and provide a modern, homely space where residents and families can flourish.

This isn’t just another build, it’s evidence of Meallmore living its vision: 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. A place where residents receive excellent, personalised care and colleagues thrive in a supportive environment.

Two posts in one day… which can only mean it’s been a very busy couple of months here at Meallmore and across our 27 care homes. Plenty happening, plenty to share - and no signs of slowing down yet!

This one just couldn’t wait...

Last month, our colleagues, residents, families and local communities laced up their trainers for the Meallmore Walks 1,000 Miles Challenge… and absolutely smashed it.

✅ 7,000 miles walked
✅ £7,000 raised
✅ All in just 7 days

Every step, lap, and stroll was in aid of Cancer Research UK, a cause close to so many hearts across our homes. From beach walks to garden circuits and fancy dress laps to sunset strolls, the creativity and enthusiasm were off the scale.

A huge thank you to every person who got involved, whether you clocked one mile or one hundred, donated, or simply cheered from the sidelines.

This challenge proves that when we move together, we achieve incredible things. And yes, there were definitely a few sore feet along the way. You can read more about our community's amazing efforts here: https://www.meallmore.co.uk/news/walking-the-extra-miles-for-cancer-research-uk

💙 Carers Week 2025 – Recognising and Supporting Carers Everywhere 💙

🗓️ 9th - 15th June

This week, we’re shining a light on the incredible work of carers across the UK – those in professional roles like our dedicated teams here at Meallmore, and the millions of unpaid carers quietly going above and beyond for loved ones every single day.

At Meallmore, we see first-hand the compassion, skill and dedication that carers bring to their roles – whether supporting older people, individuals with dementia, or adults with mental health needs. It’s more than just a job – it’s a calling. And it’s why we’re proud to support carers at all levels of our organisation with meaningful careers, professional development, and a workplace that recognises the impact they make every day 💛

We also want to take a moment to honour unpaid carers in families and communities across the country. Their efforts often go unseen, but they are the backbone of the care sector – and they deserve better recognition, resources, and support, including access to flexible pathways to further help.

So this week, and every week, we say:
👏 Thank you to all carers – your work is essential, valued, and truly life-changing.

💙 Today is International Nurses Day – and we couldn’t be more proud. Across all 27 Meallmore homes, our nurses deliver expert care, offer emotional support, lead with compassion, and bring comfort to our residents every single day.👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Whether it’s a reassuring hand on a tough day, a clinical decision that shapes someone’s care, or just being a friendly face - their dedication never goes unnoticed. 🙌

To our nurses - thank you for everything you do 💐 and to every member of our Meallmore team - thank you for the part you play in helping our residents live well every day. 👏
