Earlier this year, the group was awarded the title of the Leading Providers of Residential Care in Scotland, as part of Acquisition International Magazine’s flagship 2018 Global Excellence Awards. Following this success, we profiled the firm, taking a look behind the scenes of their success. he Parklands Group was created twenty- five years ago to satisfy a very real need for a quality, local care services provider in the north of Scotland. In the years since, the group has expanded to several locations across Moray and the Highlands, employing 500 individuals to care for some 250 residents. Today, it is one of the largest independent care home groups in Scotland, with a reputation in the industry for providing a level of care that goes above and beyond their competitors. The Parklands Group was founded on a platform of seamless comfort, local expertise and convalescence. It is, to its very core, people- centric, holding the care of its residents in the highest regard. Naturally, this is a quality that is to be expected from any company working in the care sector, but Parklands takes it to a level that Company: Parklands Group Address: High Street, Buckie, Moray, AB56 4AD, United Kingdom Website: www.parklandsgroup.com Telephone:01542 836 000 Achieving an Outstanding Quality of Residential Care T 1805AI11 few can hope to achieve. As testament to this, The Parklands Group was one of the first care services to gain ‘Investors in People’ status and was one of the first to implement the Customer Service Excellence Standard in 2015. Parklands is a company that is eager to adapt, develop and improve, frequently pushing the boundaries of their sector, and raising the bar. Parklands is a trend- setter, so to speak, setting the standard to beat. One of the groups more exclusive homes is Innis Mhor, completed in 2014. Built in Tain, Scotland’s oldest Royal Burgh, and overlooking the Dornoch Firth, the modern home represents a diversion from the more traditional buildings that have preceded it. With forty rooms over three wings, Innis Mhor has firmly secured Parkland’s stellar reputation for outstanding residential care. The future of the Parklands Group lies in further expansion, as the next two years promise at least two new homes in Fortrose and Inverness, with the latter comprising 48 bedrooms, and sixteen assisted living suites. It is clear that the group have a promising future ahead as one of the best residential care providers in the UK. “With forty rooms over three wings, Innis Mhor has firmly secured Parkland’s stellar reputation for outstanding residential care.”
