Activities at Ochil Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Ochil Care Home
The Rotary Club
The Rotary Club of Perth St Johns are running a Purple for Polio campaign and are visiting 4 care homes in Perth, planting crocus bulbs to flower next spring.
Gail MacKay, President of the Rotary Club, visited Ochil with her green fingered fellow Rotarians to plant the bulbs – and several residents joined in!
Gail will be visiting Ochil again in the Springtime – let’s hope we will have some beautiful purple crocuses for all to enjoy!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Ochil recently hosted a coffee afternoon to raise funds and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support. The afternoon was a great success, well attended and supported. Many of the staff baked for the event and one of our Senior Nurses, Morna Finnigan, was voted Best Baker! Ochil raised the sum of £200 – many thanks to everyone who contributed to the afternoon’s success.
