MSP visits care homes
This is the second year that HC-One care homes are taking part in UK Parliament Week, an annual event which aims to spread the word about what Parliament is, what Parliament does, and how individuals can get involved, take action and make an impact on the issues they care about.

Hide AdResidents and colleagues of the HC-One owned homes enjoyed meeting Mr Beattie and chatting to him about what life is like at Springfield Bank and Drummohr – which are an integral part of their local communities.
The MSP enjoyed a nice tour around the homes, complimenting the facilities that both homes had to offer. He especially loved the ‘Residents Bar’ at Springfield Bank and wanted to stay there.
Rhiannon Steele, Home Manager at Springfield Bank Care Home, commented: “We were delighted to welcome Colin Beattie, MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh to our home to see first-hand how we support residents to lead their best lives and meet our residents and dedicated colleagues.”
