That the Parliament welcomes the opening of Pittyvaich Care Home in Inverness; understands that it is the first new care home to be built in the city in five years; recognises that this £11 million investment by family-run Parklands Care Homes offers 58 high-quality care placements for older people; believes that the new facility comes at a critical time for the Highlands, which has seen a reported loss of more than 200 care beds in recent years; welcomes Parklands’ wider investment in social care across the region, including planned expansions at its homes in Tain, Fortrose and Grantown on Spey; congratulates Parklands on being named Best for Wellbeing at the national Care Home Awards, reflecting its commitment to high-quality, person-centred care, and wishes the team at Pittyvaich every success as it supports older people in Inverness to live with dignity, comfort and respect.
