Admissions – Abbeyside Care Group
Tel: 01343 547 350

Admissions

The first step of identifying if an individual would benefit from care and support from a Residential / Nursing Home is a needs assessment, provided by the individual’s Local Authority. If the person is eligible, the Local Authority will work with them to construct a Care Plan, which also advises on a choice of suitable Care Homes.

Here at The Abbeyside Care Group, we encourage individuals and their families to visit our Homes, meet the Care Home Managers and to ask questions as we understand this can be a daunting time for all involved.

The first point of contact in coordinating this and advising on availability of rooms is through our Admissions Manager; Susan McRitchie. With a background in Social Work, Susan has a wealth of knowledge in assessing individual needs and suitability to our Homes and will be able to guide you through the admission process.

Our Care Homes are also subject to regulation from the Care Inspectorate to ensure a high standard of provision of care.

For further information, please contact Susan:

Hello, I am Susan McRitchie Admissions Manager for the three care homes within the Abbeyside Care Group. I joined the company in May 2024, however, I had experience working within the group for many years prior to this when arranging admissions while working as a social worker. 

My background is in nursing, care, and social work. When I left school, I gained a nursing qualification before leaving to have my family. Since then, I studied at RGU gaining a Social Work degree. I worked with The Moray Council for 27 years as a Social Worker and Council Officer for Adult Support and Protection. I have the experience and knowledge needed to support you through the admission process.

Please contact me if you wish to view any of our care homes or to discuss any aspect of residential care.
