Frequently Asked Questions about Anderson's Home Services
Meet some of our team and find out what others think about our homes and the quality of life they offer. With almost 700 employees, we're one of the largest private sector employers in the region and we're expanding. We have career opportunities across Moray and the Highlands, with a diverse range of roles on offer including management, nursing, care and ancillary support. Parklands Care Homes is a multi award winning care company and one of the largest independent care home providers in the north of Scotland. It operates 10 care homes across Moray and the Highlands, with a number of new care facilities planned in the coming years as part of a multi-million pound investment plan. A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings.
We frame our offer around ‘home’ because we understand its importance for everyone. But also because planning ahead may be needed to ensure that where you live now is ‘age proofed’, and that if you wish to consider moving, you have good information and advice to help you understand all your options. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available.
Find your retirement home
It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people. There is no charge whatsoever to appear in it, and we welcome a photo and descriptive text to enhance the presentation of your home. Just be aware that we do not provide housing or care services ourselves, so we cannot accept applications for housing and do not have any control over the services listed on our site. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help. Housing-with-care is a recent but natural evolution of retirement housing to provide an environment capable of enabling older people to maintain their independence even if they become physically or mentally frail.
Those run by private operators more often focus on lifestyle, with help and care services discretely available to buy if or when required. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. Generally the whole complex will be designed with attention to accessibility for residents with restricted mobility.
The General Anderson Trust
The Home Services Directory on this website provides an opportunity to promote your services. Entries are completely free, and we’re happy to work with you to ensure your service are presented in a way you’re happy with. Our site offers information and guidance that we hope will be of help to you. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care. Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home. Each of the funded projects is designed to show how the Scottish Government’s Health and Social Care Standards will work in practice, demonstrating how to treat residents with real respect and dignity and uphold their human rights.
Care services offered to people in housing-with-care facilities are regulated, subject to periodic inspections and awarded grades. Wherever possible, Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the housing-with-care pages on this website. Yes, The General Anderson Trust provides care designed to meet the challenges faced by people living with dementia.
This site offers providers of services, accommodation and related advice a free opportunity to advertise what you do. The site’s 4 million visitors a year comprise roughly 45% older people, 45% younger family and relatives, and 10% professionals who work with older people. Also known as Care & Repair agencies, are local non-profit organisations set up to help older people think about, plan, finance and organise work on their homes. These services tackle smaller repair jobs, including installing safety & security devices. For 35 years EAC has provided a range of information and advice services to help older people think about their future, and how to ensure they can continue to live safely and well at home whatever changes and challenges ageing brings. Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication.
Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms. Organised activities will focus on helping residents maintain their health and wellbeing. Every registered care provider in the UK can claim a free listing on Autumna. However, a paid subscription allows more information to be added and as a result a higher profile score. We think it’s important you have detailed, comprehensive information so that you can decide which care providers to shortlist.
Our HousingCare PLUS and PREMIUM subscription services offer additional branding, links to your own site, ‘vacancy / availability ads’ and much more. Our Housing Directory aims to include all housing schemes /developments in the UK that are intended for older people. If you have a home to sell, you may be able to use the proceeds to pay the deposit on a new property and take out a ‘lifetime mortgage’ to cover the rest of the cost. If you simply want to move to a more suitable non-retirement home, and need help or advice with this, our EAC Advice service is here to help you. At other times we offer an answer phone service so please leave a message and we'll call you back.
Each client is encouraged to bring along small personal items to help make their stay with us both an enjoyable and memorable experience. We also support residents to access various activities both within Anderson’s and the wider local community. The Care Inspectorate regularly inspect our services to ensure that we are meeting the required National Care Standards and working to improve the quality of care for everyone. We are always happy to discuss these reports so please contact us if you would like to view / access the latest Inspection Report. Parklands’ values inform the way we deliver individual quality care, recognise and reward our people and engage with our communities. That’s why Care Concierge’s care experts will act as your personal care consultants.
