Studio 1 in the wild today!

Viv had the enormous pleasure of visiting Raemoir Manor Care Home this evening.

Doesn't this tartan look stunning here in the Burnett Library?

The whole home is just breathtaking, beautifully decorated in gorgeous surroundings. Every staff member we spoke to was friendly and welcoming and so committed to providing the best possible daily life for the new residents when they arrive. What a delight to hear the plans for community links and activities in the future.

Thank you for inviting us, and we can't wait to see what comes next.
