The Scottish Home has been providing loving care and quality
services for over a century. For many
years, we dreamed of enhancing our Scottish Home campus by building a new
residence for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of
dementia. We are pleased to share that
construction of our Caledonian House is underway! Set to open this June, the Caledonian House
will offer state-of-the-art memory care whilst remaining true to the Scottish
Home’s heritage of being a place where friends become family.
Designed as a home rather than an institution, the
Caledonian House has been under construction since last June and will be ready
for completion in just a few months. So
far, a red-shingled roof has been placed on the frame of the building. Eventually, the framing will be sheathed in a
half-timber and stone veneer that will give the building a homey, welcoming
appearance!
Inside the Caledonian House, you can expect much more than a
traditional nursing facility. This
facility has been created and specifically designed for those suffering from
Alzheimer’s and dementia. The Caledonian
House is arranged like a home with an open floor setting. Rather than resident rooms coming off of long
corridors, rooms open up into a shared living area, sitting area, dining area
and open kitchen.
In addition to quality construction and an advanced floor
plan, staff members of the Caledonian House will be providing best in class
memory care. Staff will be cross-trained
to provide nursing, food service and housekeeping duties so they will better be
able to forge personal relationships with residents.
The Scottish Home would like to thank everyone who has
contributed to the construction of the Caledonian House! The donations and support we receive have
allowed us to continue our commitment to senior citizens and continued memory
care. If you have a family member
suffering from Alzheimer’s that needs quality memory care, consider the
Caledonian House. The grand opening is
set for June and space is limited.
