North Aberdeen and Shire

We support around 100 people across the North Aberdeen and Shire branch with a dedicated team of 250 support colleagues. Our services from Banff to Kingswells provide various levels and types of support, depending on individual need. We have three small care homes and a range of supported living and visiting support services. A number of our services are designed specifically to support people who have autism and a physical and/or learning disability.

We pride ourselves in being local and integrated within the communities of those who we support. We strive to deliver person-centered support and to meet the hopes and aspirations of those we have the privilege to assist.

The branch leader for North Aberdeen and Shire is Nicola Alexander.

"The staff team have been amazing with my daughter, I can't believe the transformation in her quality of life!"
