Me and my family will be forever grateful for the care and compassion that Strathcarron showed my Dad in the final weeks of his life. During his time at Strathcarron, the team really did make every second count and allowed me and my family to spend quality time together with him. All of the team at Strathcarron will always hold a special place in my heart.
