Welcome to Hudson Healthcare
Care and Companionship. One Story at a Time.
Our mission is to build thriving, companionable care communities across our four nursing homes that nourish both our residents and their families.
What do we offer?
In an industry where care is all too often delivered as a commodity, Hudson Healthcare brings something refreshingly different. We are a small, perfectly formed, family-owned and run business, operating since 2013 across four locations. We are built on the continuity and passions of our owner and his supporting team. Our nursing homes are owned and operated by us, and us only, free from the interference of investors and absentee landlords. We build rich, supportive communities because only this allows for the great care that is our hallmark.

Dedicated dementia care services that enable residents to live full & meaningful lives. From early onset to more advanced forms of memory impairment, all four of our homes offer dementia care.

Derek made it down to the pub with some of his mates for his 88th birthday. A true gent is Derek.
Thank you to everyone who braved the weather to join us at our Summer Fayre on Sunday. The rain didn't dampen our spirits or stop us from having a nice time. Thank you to all the staff, makers and family who made it all happen, despite the weather.
Last week we enjoyed the excellent Alexander MacDonald who got us all going with his catchy little numbers.
We held a 101 Dalmatian themed disco, we sang and danced the afternoon away 🎤💃🏼🕺
The ladies are doing the 20 mile Kilt walk on Sunday, all the money raised is for @Alzheimer’s Scotland, for any of those that wish to donate, just click on the link.
We focused our minds and let our creative juices flow, making some bracelets, paintings, knitting and Lego building 🧠
Happy 80th Margaret, we hope you had a great day 🎉🎉🎂🎂

How we help
We have learnt a thing or two about nurturing, vibrant care communities over the last 13 years. We understand what it takes to create communities that enrich residents and families alike. In our locations, we have earned the trust of the local communities we serve, building reputations earned through diligent care, and an understanding of what sustains happy, connected communities. Communities that celebrate life, one story at a time, sharing in their collective pasts. We are a small care provider, an antidote to the de-humanising, commoditised care that is so prevalent today. We listen and respond and we never forget the trust placed in us by those who seek only the best for the ones they love.
A Stable Business
Hudson Healthcare is a stable business. By care sector standards, our care home managers, nurse teams and carers are long-serving and supported by a progressive, responsive management team. We have been nurturing our senior communities without interference since 2013, and that is reflected in the atmosphere and camaraderie of our homes. Our nursing homes, although geographically dispersed, enjoy close relations; operationally, there is a thread that connects them all. Good outcomes are shared and operationalised across the group for the benefit of all.
Our managers and deputies have a wealth of experience whether its assessing the need for care, the logisitics and practical considerations, funding and navigating complex pathways to senior care within their each of their localities.
We post what we are up to most days on our Facebook and like to keep all our supporters abreast of upcoming events and activities. We wear our hearts on our sleeves. As a regulated industry, we feel it is our duty to keep family and friends informed about what is happening in the home, which allows us to mobilise support for the home. Our homes are open 24 hours a day, and visitors are welcome to meet with loved ones whenever they wish, but we do ask to avoid lunch times, our main meal of the day, unless of course you would like to join your relative for some lunch?
A whole set of relationships flourish at Hudson Healthcare. Our families often become ardent supporters and sometimes volunteers themsleves, even after their involvement with the home has passed. These volunteers play an active role, and help us to do things that we would struggle to do otherwise. Whether it’s a trip to the local pub for a quick ‘pie and pint’ or a full-on day trip to a local site of interest, our volunteers are invaluable to us. Carers and nurses also form strong attachments with our residents, due in part to the continuity of the care we provide. With little or agency staff, familiar faces abound at our care homes.
Moving into a care home shouldn’t signal the end of the community ties that help sustain people. We welcome groups of all sorts into our homes from local primary schools, scout groups, religious organisations, interest groups, performers and charities. We view our homes as an important part of the local community, a collection of people with valued insights on local history, and the wisdom of accumulated years.
Why choose us?
Our homes and the people in them are alive with energy, ideas and positivity. Our modest size means that these elements diffuse to all areas and locations of our business. Activities are, by and large, mass participation events, conceived and attended by all our staff and supporters, from our chefs to our family members, our volunteers and housekeepers and of course our carers and nurses.
There are no silos in our care homes, we encourage the mixing of residents and shared responsibility across all our functions, floors and services. It is this that feeds our communities, nurtures them and helps to give our residencies that special intangible quality that is so important to the wellbing of our residents and peace of mind of family residents.
Our size
We are four homes that work closely together. We are small and agile; there is no red tape, we respond to evolving needs with no fuss.
Our activities
We conceive our activities as a group, and with the shared responsibility, everyone joins in.
Our staff
Our staff are diverse and are our companies greatest asset.
Our community
We think we know a thing or two about how to build supportive and happy communities. Its in our DNA.
