๐Ÿ’ฌโ˜• The Power of Reminiscing at Our Coffee Mornings โ˜•๐Ÿ’ฌ

Every Monday and Wednesday morning, our coffee mornings are filled with more than just tea, coffee and cake. They are filled with memories, laughter and meaningful conversations.

Reminiscing is so important for our older generation. It helps maintain identity, builds confidence, encourages social connection and brings joy by revisiting cherished moments from the past. Sometimes, it even creates moments that none of us could ever plan for ๐Ÿ’–

This week, during one of our conversations, Catherine shared memories of going to the dances in Strathpeffer when she was younger, every Friday and Saturday night. She told us she used to go along to watch the Billy Macintosh ceilidh Dance Band.

As the conversation unfolded, Catherine suddenly realised that Billy himself was sitting right next to her. She couldnโ€™t believe that the very person she once watched perform all those years ago was now sharing the same space as her.

It was a truly emotional moment that brought tears to all of us. A beautiful reminder of how powerful simple conversation and shared memories can be ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉทโ˜•๏ธ

As we reflect on the year that has passed, we also take time to remember those who are no longer with us. This year we hold in our hearts the dear residents we have sadly lost. Though they are no longer part of our daily lives, they will always remain a cherished part of our Eilean Dubh family. Their stories, smiles and moments shared with us have left a lasting imprint and they will be forever remembered with love, warmth and gratitude. โ™ฅ๏ธ

We are ending 2025 on a real high at Eilean Dubh. We are incredibly proud to have been named Regional Care Home of the Year Scotland at the Caring UK Awards.

A huge thank you to Angus MacDonald MP for recognising this achievement in an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons.

Most of all, thank you to our residents, staff, relatives and everyone in our local community. From our award-winning gardening club and fashion and talent shows to our fundraising work, playgroup and community partnerships, you are the reason this year has been so special.

Hereโ€™s to everything we have achieved together in 2025! ๐Ÿ‘

We look forward to what 2026 will bring.

As 2025 comes to a close, our Managing Director Ron Taylor reflects on a landmark year for Parklands and looks ahead to whatโ€™s next.

"I'm just as passionate now as I was 32 years ago when I started the business. We're always looking for ways to improve and deliver the best care possible for our residents," says Ron.

Watch him reflect on the year's key milestones, and what we have in store for 2026 โฌ‡๏ธ
