I can't praise the staff at Strachan House highly enough. They are all caring and thoughtful to residents and helpful and friendly to their family members. The facilities are comfortable and welcoming and there are lots of activities and trips out for residents. My father enjoys his meals and always looks happy and content when we visit.
I read a lot...
I read a lot in my room, knit for the cat and dog home and for the premature baby unit. Food could be improved, nursing care is good - dispensing pills. Occupational therapists are excellent. Carers - not enough of them, but good on the whole.
The family is pleased with husbands placement.

Hello, My name is Paul Dow and I am the Head Chef here at Strachan House, I joined the team at Strachan House in July 2021 and I bring 30 years of experience with me. I trained as a chef in an army kitchen before venturing into the hospitality industry in Foxton working in a hotel in Hythe.

I have worked in Strachan House since 2014. I first started as a carer before moving on to activities, which I really enjoyed. I started working in reception at the beginning of 2019 and with any new role you are forever learning. I believe I now have the best of both worlds as I work 3 days in reception and 2 days on activities. This allows me to spend some quality time with our residents and enhance their day-to-day lifestyle. I am passionate about my roles within the home.
Gary has been a member of the Strachan House family since 2022.
He takes great satisfaction in his maintenance role and says that every day presents a different challenge.
