About
The General Anderson Trust, a charitable trust, runs Anderson's Care Home in Elgin, Moray. The home has supported older people in Elgin and the surrounding area for more than 190 years. It provides dementia care across 51 registered beds. The Care Inspectorate, which regulates the home in Scotland, has graded how well people's wellbeing is supported, how care and support is planned, the setting, the staff team and the leadership as Good.
The trust is raising funds to install a modern passenger lift serving Easton House. The lift would help residents with mobility difficulties, support the safe movement of equipment, and assist with emergency evacuation. The fundraising target is £500,000 over two years.
