Anyone for a cuppa and a blather? That's the vibe at Pitkerro Care Centre in Dundee. We're not just about care; we're about creating a real home-from-home, a place where everyone feels part of something. Overlooking Finlathern Park, in the north of Dundee and adjacent to the Dighty Burn, it's a pretty sweet spot. We're all about looking after folks, whether they need a bit of help with day-to-day life or a bit more nursing support.
We've got a brilliant team of nurses and carers who arepatient, empathetic and all round good eggs, and they're here to help with all sorts of things. The ethos of the home is that every staff member from the manager to the maintenance worker has a part to play the overall feel of the home. From dementia and stroke care to Parkinson's, MS, MND, and Huntington'sdisease, we've got you covered with companionship, support and personal nursing care. We even have a seperate suite for those with more complex dementia needs.
Forget stuffy and boring! We're all about keeping things lively. Think parties, bread-making sessions, and even a silent disco! We're big on getting everyone involved, and we're always up for trying new things. Plus, with the park and the burn right on our doorstep, we love getting out and about. We’re also very active in the community of Dundee and thanks to ourfriends at Dundee Dragons, we get out for occasional day trips across Fife and Angus.

Lynsey Robbie, the heart of Pitkerro Care Centre in Dundee, brings over two decades of nursing expertise to her role as Care Home Manager. A registered general nurse, her journey began within the NHS, where she honed her skills in intensive care and medical wards. Driven by a desire for more personalized elderly care, she transitioned to the private sector, steadily progressing from nursing to being a regional manager. More recently, and luckily for us, Lynsey now just wants to focus on being the manager of Pitkerro, a home where she knows everyone by name.
Lynsey’s commitment is evident in her hands-on approach; the home has zero agency staff, something most Dundee nursing homes are unable to match but when nurses have been absent through illness, Lynsey has been know to volunteer to fill the gap! She loves the work and this also helps her to remain connected to the daily realities of care. Her focus extends beyond management, as she prioritizes creating a warm, homely environment where residents feel valued and supported. She's passionate about listening to their life stories and actively dispelling negative perceptions of nursing homes as being dull and lifeless places by providing varied, engaging activities and a rich quality of life.
Believing in empowering her team, Lynsey emphasizes strong training and values staff contributions. Ultimately, her dedication lies in delivering high standards of care and fostering a nurturing environment for every resident in her care.
