Larchwood Care

A member of staff at a Blairgowrie care home is celebrating 20 years’ service.

Administrator Gill Rennie started work at Muirton House, in Essendy Road, in early 2002.

In recognition of her dedication during two decades, she was presented with flowers and vouchers.

Catherine Russell, manager of Muirton House, said: “Gill is a much valued and loved member of the team.

“Her colleagues, residents and visitors know if they need anything done or a sympathetic ear Gill is always there for them.

“She will wash dishes, help in the laundry, go for shopping - nothing is too much trouble. Personally, I am indebted to Gill for her support. Here's to the next 20 years.”

Gill said: “My time at Muirton House has flown by. I can’t believe I have been here 20 years.

“I really love my job, working with a great team of people and playing a part in supporting older people. I look forward to continuing to do this for many years to come.”

Muirton House has been providing dementia, nursing and residential care for more than 30 years with a team of dedicated staff, including registered nurses on site 24 hours a day.

The dementia unit has been upgraded with themed areas such as sport, farming, music and film and items of interest are displayed on walls to encourage reminiscing. The manager and staff have completed champions training run by Alzheimer’s Society.
