Thanks to an exclusive partnership with physiotherapy provider Balanced Edinburgh – specialists in functional rehabilitation and fall prevention for older people – residents will be given a thorough assessment on arrival, which will be used create bespoke care and fitness plans, tailored to individual needs.
The team will be led by general manager, Eileen Gray, who is well established in the care industry with over 20 years’ experience.
