We are one of the longest standing care homes in Scotland and have been caring for the elderly for over 190 years. Our National Housing for Older People Awards celebrate examples of successful retirement housing and housing-with-care. As with hotels, the cost of living in a care home varies widely according to its location, the size of your room or suite, and the facilities on offer. There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority.
We understand the anxiety and stress that can arise when people can no longer look after themselves and struggle to live independently. Anderson’s is here to help and we tailor the care we provide to meet the needs of each resident and improve their quality of life. We provide support and assistance with day to day living and offer a very varied and stimulating programme of activities. The Life Changes Trust invested a total of £135,000 to ensure that the rights of people living with dementia in care homes are recognised and respected. Care homes across Scotland received funding to demonstrate how they support the inclusion and participation of residents with dementia in a meaningful way, so that residents have a genuine say in their own day to day lives.

Of particular interest to us are local agencies that do what we can’t – that have detailed knowledge of local housing solutions, and offer telephone or face-to-face advice and support to their clients – alongside any website presence. Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant.
We strive to be fair and respectful towards residents and colleagues and encourage open communication. Note the ID number and location of the companion you are interested in adopting. Please be sure to scroll to view all our wonderful animals looking for their forever 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.
Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. At Anderson’s we have one Respite Room and we tailor a package to meet individual needs. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. If you'd like to know more about our care homes and the services we offer, why not download our brochure.
Why do we have a profile score?
As a young student, Ron had cared for his elderly grandfather and grew frustrated at the lack of local care services. Today, Parklands operates nine care homes in Moray and the Highlands, employing almost 700 staff and providing residential care for over 300 older people in small, rural communities. It is one of the largest independent care providers in the north of Scotland and has won a series of prestigious awards for its commitment to care quality and to people development. Autumna is the UK's largest and most comprehensive later-life living & elderly care directory.

Our care vision
The General Anderson Trust provides Residential, Dementia, and Palliative care. Is available to anyone aged 65 or over, regardless of their financial situation. To help find the right care home for you, here's some questions you can ask when you enquire. Getting older can make it more difficult to get around and do the things you used to do, or would like to do.
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.
A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. Most retirement developments offer either properties for sale or for rent, but newer ones may offer both tenure options, and possibly shared ownership too. Anderson’s is registered with the Care Inspectorate as a Residential Home for the elderly. We continuously strive to improve our standards to ensure that our residents have the highest quality of care that they and their families can expect. Anderson’s has an excellent reputation with very strong links with the local community. Our residents can expect the best possible care in a warm and welcoming environment supported by our dedicated and caring staff.
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.
In doing so the project also aimed to redefine ‘care home’ as a community-based organisation that extends beyond traditional boundaries and overcomes pre-existing perceptions and stereotypes. When, you or a member of your family is diagnosed with dementia, it is a worrying time. At Anderson’s our dedicated carers provide practical and emotional support and ensure that everyday routines are maintained in a relaxed, stable and homely environment. Anderson Humane has dozens of adorable adoptables and provides the information you need to find the best animal for you and your family.
We also support you post-adoption with training, low-cost veterinary care, and other resources to help you establish a positive relationship with your new animal companion. If HOOP doesn't provide all the information you need, submit your HOOP session to us to arrange a conversation with an EAC Advisor. EAC Advice is a free, specialist and independent telephone advice service provide by the charity Elderly Accommodation Counsel .
If affording work to your home is an issue, Age UK’s factsheet Home improvements and repairs is a good read, as is OneFamily’s webpage How to fund home improvements. A challenge we all face as we get older is to think about where we live, and how it will work for us when we’re older. If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense. Uk.indeed.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
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.
