Fairlie Healthcare Group

15/09/2025

At Woodstown House, part of the Fairlie Healthcare Group, we proudly continue to champion complexity—supporting individuals with tracheostomy, ventilation, and a wide range of complex care needs in a homely, person-centred environment. 🏡💙

Our multi-disciplinary team includes specialist therapists who deliver truly individualised care—covering everything from rehabilitation and mobility, to speech and communication, emotional wellbeing, and daily living skills.

But we don’t stop there.

At Woodstown, rehabilitation goes beyond clinical care. We're passionate about helping individuals rebuild confidence, develop vocational skills, and get back into meaningful activity—whether that means returning to work, volunteering, or learning something new. 🧠💻

📸 Our recent photos showcase just how much more rehab is than just a gym. From time spent engaging with technology to connecting with nature, we empower our residents to thrive in all aspects of life.

Because here at Fairlie Healthcare, complex needs are never a limitation—they’re a starting point for tailored, transformative care.

Fairlie Healthcare Group Strengthens Music Therapy Partnership with Nordoff and Robbins

Fairlie Healthcare Group is delighted to announce exciting new developments in its longstanding partnership with Nordoff and Robbins, the UK’s leading music therapy charity. As part of our shared commitment to delivering meaningful, person-centred care, we are expanding our music therapy services across all three Fairlie homes: Fairlie House, Highfield House, and Woodstown House.

This expansion brings dedicated weekly music therapy sessions to each home, led by two highly experienced and passionate therapists from Nordoff and Robbins: Kwaku and Harriet.

Meet Kwaku – Music Therapist at Highfield House & Fairlie House

Kwaku joined Highfield House in September 2024 and now provides music therapy at Highfield House every Tuesday and Fairlie House every Wednesday. With many years of experience, Kwaku has worked with a wide range of client groups including adults with dementia, children and teenagers with cancer, individuals with mental health needs, and young people with special educational needs.

Kwaku brings an energetic, person-focused approach to his sessions, which are rooted in the belief that music can be a powerful tool for improving well-being, motivation, and communication. His therapy sessions focus on enabling people to listen, sing, choose, and actively play music of their choice—always starting from the individual’s own musical identity and preferences.

“I’m zealous about the power of music and its ability to inspire and motivate,” says Kwaku. “I’m very happy to be working with the residents and teams at Fairlie House and Highfield House.”

Meet Harriet – Music Therapist at Woodstown House

Harriet brings a wealth of experience to her new role at Woodstown House, where she runs weekly sessions every Tuesday. She has developed and led therapeutic music projects in schools, day centres, mental health settings, and a refuge. In addition to her clinical work, Harriet also supports colleagues across Nordoff and Robbins as a line manager, with a particular focus on neurorehabilitation and care home environments.

Harriet is deeply passionate about the transformative potential of creative music-making in healthcare settings. Her work is centred around co-creating music experiences with patients—always starting from what each person wants to hear, sing, or play. Her approach helps individuals connect more deeply with themselves and others, and builds on their own musical memories and preferences.

“Regular, therapeutic music-making can make a huge difference to people’s motivation and emotional wellbeing,” says Harriet. “I’m excited to now be offering this at Woodstown House.”

A Harmonious Future

Fairlie Healthcare is proud to continue its collaboration with Nordoff and Robbins, bringing music therapy into the heart of our care. These weekly sessions offer residents a space for self-expression, connection, and joy—often unlocking moments of clarity, engagement, and comfort for people with complex needs.

We look forward to seeing how Kwaku and Harriet’s work continues to enrich the lives of those we care for, and we are grateful to them—and to Nordoff and Robbins—for their dedication, creativity, and compassion.

Celebrating Excellence in Care: Beverly Moores
A Compassionate Team Leader and SHCA with Over Two Decades of Service
Beverly Moores is a dedicated Senior Team Leader and Senior Healthcare Assistant at Fairlie Healthcare Group at Woodstown House, where she has served with distinction for over 23 years. Known for her clinical expertise, integrity, and heartfelt commitment to person-centred care, Beverly is not only a skilled professional but also a compassionate advocate. Her unwavering dedication, proactive leadership, high standards and mentorship have left a lasting mark on both residents and colleagues.

A Positive Force for Staff and Residents
Beverly has been a cornerstone of the Fairlie Healthcare Group, consistently delivering professionalism, empathy, and support in all aspects of her work. Her leadership style is grounded, approachable, and proactive—making her a trusted figure for staff, residents, and their families.

She plays a key role in:

Safeguarding & Whistleblowing: Beverly ensures all concerns are addressed compassionately and effectively, promoting a culture of openness and safety.
Championing Equality & Inclusion: Her advocacy for diversity has helped create a respectful and inclusive workplace where everyone feels seen and valued.
Maintaining High Standards: From waste management to infection control, Beverly ensures the care environment is always clean, safe, and dignified.

She is often the first to step in when extra help is needed—covering shifts, assisting with transitions from hospital to home, and quietly supporting residents through their most vulnerable moments.

Delivering Exceptional Resident Care
What sets Beverly apart is her deep, personal commitment to each individual in her care. She sees beyond the diagnosis, focusing on what truly matters to each resident.

Meaningful Engagement
Beverly has supported weekly off-site visits for residents, including relaxing bus rides to nearby horse paddocks and even escorting residents/patients to appointments. These outings provide much-needed connection and stimulation, especially for those at risk of isolation.

Compassion in Action
She’s gone above and beyond to support residents in emotionally challenging times—such as arranging 1:1 support to attend family funerals, ensuring dignity and empathy are never forgotten in care.

A recent example of her dedication: Beverly advocated for the return of a resident who had spent months in hospital due to mental health challenges. Recognising their potential to thrive in the familiar setting of Fairlie—with both clinical and emotional support—she was instrumental in facilitating their safe return.

A Leader in Training and Standards
Beverly brings extensive care experience, clinical knowledge, particularly in specialist areas like tracheostomy and ventilator care. She also:

Leads cross-site training sessions, improving care standards across the group.
Champions infection prevention and waste management protocols.
Advocates for colleagues, acting swiftly on concerns and creating space for open dialogue and continuous improvement.

She’s not just a leader—she’s a mentor, guide, and role model for new and experienced staff alike.

Why Beverly Moores Stands Out
Beverly is more than a team leader—she’s the heart of her care community. Her presence uplifts staff, reassures families, and brings stability and kindness to every shift she works. Residents see her as a dependable, kind figure; staff know her as a tireless advocate and a strong, steady leader.

She exemplifies what it means to deliver high-quality, person-centred care with grace, grit, and generosity—and her impact will be felt for years to come.
