A thoughtful thank you to our Dickson Avenue team
Staff at our Hillcrest Futures Housing with Care service at Dickson Avenue in Dundee were recently presented with flowers from Linda Stewart's family, in recognition of the care, compassion and respect shown during her time with us. 💐
Linda first came to Hillcrest in April 2024, when she was supported at our Magdalen Yard Road service in temporary Step-Down accommodation after finding herself unable to return home for her personal safety. She thrived there but needed a more permanent home.
Through joint working with NHS Tayside and Caledonia Housing, Linda was successfully rehoused at Dickson Avenue in June 2025, with staff playing a key role in making the transition as smooth as possible.
With complex individual needs, Linda lived happily within her own limits. She sadly passed away peacefully at home on 9 March 2026, surrounded by her family.
Linda's son, Mark has shared the following with us: "I handed in flowers to all the staff, as I wanted to say thank you for the excellent care, love and attention my mother Linda Stewart received from all the staff at both Magdalen Yard & Dickson Avenue.
"I know my mum would also appreciate my gesture as really it was from her too. My mum loved everyone who cared for her at Hillcrest Futures very much.
"I have to say, in all honesty, my mother received the best care I could ever have hoped for from everyone involved, and I cannot thank them all enough. They all deserve huge praise for the job they do."
We're very grateful to Linda's family for their kind words and thoughtful gesture, and proud of the team for the support they provide every day. 💜
