Balhousie Alastrean Care Home in Tarland has appointed Caliegh Bean as the new Care Home Manager.
Caliegh joins Balhousie from the Parkland Group, where she also worked as Care Home Manager.
She brings to Balhousie Alastrean a wealth of experience and an enviable reputation, having worked in care homes for the past 16 years, with 15 years nursing experience prior to this.
Caliegh will be responsible for the day to day running of the home including resident care, staff management and admissions, and aims to use her experience to ensure the care home maintains its high level of service for all the residents.
She said: “I am looking forward to my new role at the Balhousie Alastrean Care Home and I hope that I can improve on what is already an excellent service provided to residents.
“I feel I bring a lot of qualities to this new job including my vast experience in nursing, which includes courses in dementia, manual handling and diabetes.
“My previous job helped me to develop the skills which I will use to manage staff and ensure that everything at Alastrean runs as smoothly as possible.”
Marco Truffelli, Balhousie Care Group’s Chief Operating Officer, added: “We would like to enthusiastically welcome Caliegh to the Balhousie Care Group and look forward to her becoming a valuable member of our management team. Caliegh has many years of relevant experience and I know she will be an asset to us as well as ensuring that the friendly and high standard of care our residents expect continues to be provided.”
For many years Alastrean House was the Scottish showpiece of the RAF Benevolent Fund, with which it maintains strong links. The home, which joined Balhousie Care Group in 2005, is set among expansive grounds and gardens and provides very comfortable accommodation for 44 residents.
With turnover expected to increase to around £23million in 2010, Balhousie Care Group’s stated aim is to become the most admired and respected provider of residential care in Scotland.
The company prides itself on providing a personalised service and comfortable accommodation to each of its residents, who are currently cared for in 20 homes across the country, with two brand new homes being built in Dundee and Coupar Angus.

Words of appreciation...
- What Balhousie Care staff did was beyond the call of duty and we appreciate the work that made Mum's birthday special, even though we had to help her with the blowing out of the candles! Daughter of Resident at Balhousie North Inch Care Home
- We have always been impressed by you all at Balhousie - especially those who directly looked after Mum's day to day personal care. Also those who kept the home clean and tidy and had pleasant chats with Mum. Daughter of Resident at Balhousie North Grove Care Home
- The thing I most enjoy is the interaction with residents and family members. Being part of a team that delivers high quality care, often in the latter years of an individual's life, while trying to promote their independence is a big responsibility. I think it's hugely important to be able to make that time as easy and comfortable as possible. Manager, Balhousie Lisden Care Home
The goal of Balhousie Care Group is to be acknowledged as the leading and most admired provider of residential care in Scotland.
