The residents of a care home in the heart of Inverness are enjoying the calming and peaceful surroundings of a new garden created at the complex.
The Isobel Fraser Home marked its 120th anniversary of providing care for elderly people by building the addition to the premises at Mayfield Road.
A broad variety of plants and other features, such as wind chimes, have been incorporated into the enclosed space to help stimulate the senses of the 29 residents through sight, touch, scent, and hearing.
Care home manager, Victoria Connolly, said: “The amenity garden is an extension of the loving care we provide for our residents inside the home.
“The plants and features are not just beautiful to look at, they can be therapeutic and help stimulate different senses in a safe and calming environment.
“It is a wonderful addition to the facilities we have here and will give much pleasure to our residents and their visitors for many years to come.
“The care we provide includes activities to stimulate all their senses and improve their overall quality of life. The garden is a key part of that and we can already see the pleasure the residents get from it and the benefits it brings.”
The garden has been created with the help of Munlochy-based Munros Nurseries.
