Meet the Canmore Lodge Care Home team

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.

I have worked in the home since 2004. I was a Carer before I decided to be an Activities Coordinator. I enjoy doing what I do as I love spending time with the residents and their Families. I like to plan events for the home and like to participate as much as I can.

I have lived in Dunfermline all my life and enjoy walking, cycling and going to different places with my daughter.

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. 

My name is Lynne and I am the Head Housekeeper at Canmore Lodge. Part of my role at Canmore Lodge is overseeing the laundry and domestic team and ensuring the environment is kept clean and homely. As I go around all areas in Canmore, I get the pleasure of forming therapeutic relationships with our residents and their loved ones.

Margaret takes an active part in our life enrichment programme and the homes resident forum.   Margaret is the voice of the resident group and as an Ambassador will meet with our residents to find out their values, feedback and any ideas for  improvement. Margaret will also take part in the recruitment process by being part of the interview panel and plays an important part in introducing new residents to the home

Having had many years' experience within both the private and public health sectors, Gerard, our Physiotherapist, has a special interest in neurological rehabilitation. He retains a close working relationship with the NHS Wheelchair Service, Orthopaedics  and the Spasticity Management Service.

Gerard runs regular Keep-Fit & Relaxation Classes, together with garden walks with Rocky, our pet therapy dog. Postural management and one-to-one sessions are held within our large, dedicated gym.
