About

Grandholm Care Home in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, provides nursing care and has 79 registered beds. Residents recently visited Tamala Farm for a hands-on session with two-week-old lambs, feeding them and spending time in the lambing pen among the young animals. The home presents outings like this as part of its wider aim of enriching residents' lives through activities and community links, and the team has said it hopes to return to the farm.

The Care Inspectorate, which regulates the home in Scotland, has graded its setting Good and its staff team Adequate. It has graded how well residents' wellbeing is supported, how care and support is planned, and leadership at the home as Weak.
