Strathcarron Project - Howard Doris Centre

Brief description:

The Howard Doris Centre is a Scottish charity that manages the Howard Doris Centre in Lochcarron. Since opening in August 1996, we have, in partnership with Albyn, provided very sheltered accommodation for local people. We also provide a respite suite, two medical beds and a day centre. Although the Centre is based in Lochcarron we welcome attendees from the South Wester Ross area and/or those with links to this area. This catchment area is based on the three local GP surgeries. Our respite facility in the Lochside Suite provides a sanctuary for a week or more, allowing relatives and carers to have a well-deserved break. It can be either paid for privately or funded by Social Work (with a proportion paid by the client). Care is individually tailored.

Full service description:

<p class=""><strong>The Howard Doris Centre</strong> is situated in the heart of Lochcarron, and represents co-operation between voluntary and statutory bodies. The Centre has been created as a whole package of care for those living in the Strathcarron electoral area. This comprises Strathcarron, Lochcarron, Kishorn, the Applecross peninsula, Shieldaig, Annat, Fasaig Torridon, Alligin, Diabaig, Kinlochewe, Achnasheen and all smaller villages within this general area.</p> <p class="">Services for adults include supported accommodation, medical, nursing, social facilities and day care. With its friendly, flexible environment, the Centre allows people with varying needs to stay and to be cared for in their own community, enjoying their own culture and chosen activities. We have recently extended our registration to provide support, in the form of a warden service, to the tenants of the nearby sheltered housing. Whatever the reasons for coming to The Howard Doris Centre, staff will give you a warm welcome.</p> &nbsp;

Many pay towards the services they receive. Some services are subsidised by the NHS, or by us if we can afford it.
