Life at Ochil Care Home


Music Brings Joy to Ochil!
At Ochil, the magic of music recently transformed an ordinary afternoon into an extraordinary celebration of joy and connection. Residents and relatives gathered for an event that brimmed with energy, emotion and cherished memories, all thanks to a specially curated playlist on CareSound Radio.
The playlist, thoughtfully chosen by the residents themselves, featured a delightful mix of power rock ballads and classical masterpieces. From the electrifying strains of Rainbow’s “Gates of Babylon”, to the serene beauty of Mozart’s “Requiem” the music resonated deeply with everyone present. The atmosphere was infectious, with laughter echoing through the room, feet tapping in time to the rhythm and even spontaneous bursts of dancing.
Music, as always, proved to be the great unifier, sparkling moments of reminiscence and pure happiness. It created a bridge between generations, helping residents and relatives relive cherished moments while creating new ones.
CareSound Radio continues to be a cherished companion for the residents of Ochil Care Home, delivering moments of joy and inspiration.


A Memorable Night for Beryl - an Evening to Treasure
Recently, one of our residents, Beryl, headed out with her family to see her all-time favourite Irish singer, Dominic Kirwen! Beryl had been hard at work creating a special poster in the hopes of catching Dominic’s eye-what a fun and creative way to show her enthusiasm!
As Beryl headed off to the concert, brimming with excitement, everyone at Ochil wished her the most wonderful evening. The evening turned out to be more magical than Beryl could even have imagined! Not only did she enjoy an unforgettable performance, but she also got the opportunity to meet Dominic Kirwen himself.
To Beryl’s delight, Dominic graciously posed for a photo with her, holding the very poster she had poured her heart into. It was a dream come true and a memory she will cherish forever.
