Whether you are building a new care home, adding an extension, or planning a refurbishment our dedicated interiors team can work with you to turn your aspiration into reality. We will work to your budget to create a home that meets the needs of your business, residents and regulatory authorities. All of our carers work towards nationally-recognised qualifications from Day 1. We also understand that happiness and well-being is every bit as important as high-quality physical care is to our health. That’s why we continue to develop and invest in the activities and events programmes, community involvement, and dining experiences within our homes. Parklands’ values inform the way we deliver individual quality care, recognise and reward our people and engage with our communities.
Our business turnover has rapidly grown to over £30m as care providers put their trust in Countrywide and benefit from the comprehensive service offer that we provide. We hear so often from residents and their families that their reason for choosing a Countrywide home was the ‘feel’ of the home. While it’s difficult to pinpoint what that ‘feel’ is, we believe it’s in no small part down to the caring, understanding nature of our staff and their passion for people.

Parklands was established almost 30 years ago by Ron Taylor. As a young student, Ron had cared for his elderly grandfather and grew frustrated at the lack of local care services. He set up Parklands in 1993, initially with one facility in Buckie. Today, Parklands operates nine care homes in Moray and the Highlands, employing almost 700 staff and providing residential care for over 300 older people in small, rural communities. It is one of the largest independent care providers in the north of Scotland and has won a series of prestigious awards for its commitment to care quality and to people development.
