Hi, my name is Lorraine.
I have worked in care for over 30 years now in many roles, care assistant, home manager and most positions in between.

I am passionate about person-centred care and individualised care planning. I came to work in Gowrie House on March 21, and I am enjoying and looking forward to the ongoing development of small-unit living.

In my spare time, I support Celtic FC and attend as many games as possible. I also love to visit my son and granddaughter in Portugal.

Hi, my name is Richie Scobbie.
I am the maintenance man here at Gowrie House. I have been with the home for 2 and a half years now and enjoy being part of the Gowrie team. My role at the home is to maintain the home to a high standard making sure that all is safe for the residents and staff. When I am at home, I like to spend time with my kids going to their football games or fishing with my sons, we also like to go on family walks or do a spot of magnet fishing or camping.

Meet Amy – Activities Team Leader

Amy joined our team in 2023 and brings with her a rich background in adult disability care, combined with a lifelong love of music. Before joining Gowrie, Amy balanced her care work alongside her involvement in the music industry — a combination that has shaped her creative and person-centred approach to activities.

She has a real passion for bringing joy and purpose to life in our home, especially through the integration of music into everyday care.

Outside of work, Amy loves attending live gigs and discovering new music.

Vickie has been a valued member of our team for many years, providing compassionate, person-centred care within our dementia communities. Her dedication, experience, and natural ability to support both residents and colleagues have recently led her to take on the new and well-deserved role of Senior Carer.

Outside of work, Vickie enjoys spending quality time with her daughter, making the most of every moment together.

With over eight years of salon experience, alongside personal experience supporting people living with dementia, we were delighted to welcome Rosie to the team this year. She brings both professional expertise and a compassionate understanding to her role, creating a calm, enjoyable experience for every resident.

Rosie is available in the salon for residents on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Ava has been our dedicated nurse for many years and is a truly valued asset to our team. Throughout her time with us, she has built strong, meaningful relationships with our residents, taking the time to understand their individual needs and preferences. Her experience, compassion, and commitment to high-quality care make her an integral part of our community.
