Parklands Care Homes is a multi award winning care company and one of the largest independent care home providers in the north of Scotland. It operates ten care homes across Moray and the Highlands, with a number of new care facilities planned in the coming years as part of a multi-million pound investment plan.

Parklands homes offer a range of services including residential, respite, nursing, personal and palliative care. Care needs are always tailored to the individual, and we see our residents and staff as part of the Parklands 'family'.
