A major refurbishment of Grant House Care Home in Grantown-on-Spey have been completed.

The works were managed and procured by the Highland Council's Housing & Property Service.

The redevelopment included upgrading the electrical and heating systems, a replacement call system and fire alarms well as the installation of a sprinkler system. Improvements to residents' en-suite bathrooms were also included in the works.


The kitchen was also completely refurbished, new automatic entrance doors were installed and a new emergency generator was provided in addition to decoration and new floor finishes throughout the building.

The latest refurbishment follows construction work carried out in 2012 to upgrade the home's assisted bathing and toilet facilities.

The total cost of the two projects was £1.2m.

The improvement works to Grant House is one of three Council care home refurbishment projects currently underway in the Highlands at a cost of £4.7m.

Morrison Construction was the contractor for the build and will also be responsible for the upgrade of Ach an Eas in Inverness and they will undertake the second phase of the refurbishment to Invernevis House in Fort William.
