Oakbank Care Home Welcomes First Resident with Grand Opening Ceremony
Oakbank Care Home celebrated a momentous milestone today as we welcomed our first resident, marking the official opening of its doors. The inaugural event was nothing short of special, blending heartfelt tradition with a warm community spirit.
The highlight of the ceremony was the ribbon-cutting event, where the first resident, had the honour of cutting the ribbon to symbolise his entrance into his new home. Surrounded by staff, family and friends, our resident's beaming smile lit up the occasion, reflecting the joy and anticipation felt by everyone present.
Adding a touch of Scottish heritage to the event, a local bagpiper played a stirring rendition of traditional tunes. The melodious sound of the bagpipes created an uplifting atmosphere, echoing throughout the beautiful grounds of Oakbank Care Home in Crieff and bringing a sense of grandeur to the proceedings.
In a gesture of warmth and hospitality, our resident was presented with a welcome goodie bag. The thoughtfully curated bag included a variety of treats and essentials designed to make his transition into Oakbank as comfortable as possible. Additionally, he received a charming mascot squirrel, which symbolises the home’s values of community, warmth and care. The mascot, quickly became a beloved figure among the staff and residents alike, representing the playful and nurturing environment that Oakbank aims to provide, alongside our iconic logo.
“We are thrilled to open our doors and begin this new chapter with our first resident,” said Margaret Ann, Home Manager of Oakbank Care Home. “Our team has worked tirelessly to create a home that is not only safe and comfortable but also filled with joy and companionship.
