Our story
Parklands Care Homes has been caring for older people in the north of Scotland since 1993.
From our beginnings with a single care home in Buckie, Parklands has grown steadily over three decades. Today, we have 13 care homes across the Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire, caring for more than 500 residents.
Much has changed over those years, but our belief remains the same: good care starts with knowing people as individuals and understanding what matters to them.
Care shaped around you
Everyone is different, so the care we provide is shaped around you, your needs, choices and the things that matter to you.
We support residents to remain independent, maintain important relationships and interests, and enjoy life in a safe, welcoming environment where they are treated with kindness, dignity and respect.
People make Parklands
Great care depends on great people. Across Parklands, our teams work together to provide the best possible care and support for residents every day.
We invest in our colleagues through training and development, helping them build their skills and careers. Many bring years of experience to their roles, building strong relationships with residents and families and helping people feel known, valued and well cared for.
Did you know?
Parklands has its own officially registered tartan, The Colours of Care, created by artist Liz Peck in collaboration with residents and colleagues at Eilean Dubh?
The tartan draws its colours from the different uniforms worn across the Parklands team, reflecting the important part everyone plays in caring for our residents, whatever their role.
Part of our communities
Our homes have strong connections with the communities around them. Residents take part in local events, support charities and good causes, and enjoy regular links with schools, community groups and local organisations.
These connections create opportunities for new experiences and friendships, helping residents stay connected with the people and places around them.
Award-winning care you can trust
Our homes are independently inspected by the Care Inspectorate, with strong ratings across Parklands for residents’ wellbeing, leadership, staffing and the quality of our care environments.
Our commitment to quality has also been recognised through national and regional awards for care, wellbeing and community impact. We listen closely to residents and families too, using their feedback to continually improve what we do.
The next chapter
In 2026, Parklands became part of the Myriad Group, owners of Caring Homes, a leading UK care operator, bringing together organisations with a shared commitment to high-quality, person-centred care.
Parklands retains its name and strong local identity, while being part of a larger care group brings new opportunities to share expertise and invest in our homes and people. Our plans include a new 60-bed care home in Turriff, extending the choice of high-quality care across the north of Scotland.
