SCOTTISH CARE AWARDS
Erskine Director of Care Derek Barron said: “I am thrilled that our staff and the Erskine Park Home team as a whole have been shortlisted for these awards. The awards recognise the exceptional contribution that is made daily in the lives of our residents and those that visit the home. The team, both direct and indirect care, have our residents at the very centre of everything they do, which clearly demonstrates our belief that Erskine Park Home is, first and foremost, the resident’s home.”
