Hi, I'm Jane, the Senior General Manager here at Canmore Lodge, and I would like to welcome you to our home's website.

I moved to the private sector from the NHS in 2006 and have worked with several leading care providers over the past decade. I now find myself as the Senior General Manager at Canmore Lodge, which has incredible internal and external environments, in addition to excellent facilities that are available to those we support.

I have worked within both the NHS and private sectors as a staff nurse, charge nurse and deputy manager. I moved to Strachan house in January 2017 as the Unit Nurse Manager and joined Canmore Lodge in July 2018 as the Deputy Manager. My passion is dementia care and the Memory Lane unit within the home is an excellent environment to enhance the quality of care for those we support.

Sandy Mackenzie

Resident Ambassador

I am honored to have been asked to be the home's Relative Ambassador. My wife, Julie, has lived at Canmore Lodge since 2019.

As an ambassador, I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have as you consider the care options available to your loved one and what the home can offer you, what it is like to live in the home and much more over a cup of coffee. I would be more than happy to give feedback on the service and staff teamwork.

If I pass you in the corridor, please do say ‘hello’, and I look forward to welcoming you and your family to the home.
