Erskine

Supporting Veterans since 1916 -Erskine provides unrivalled support to veterans in Scotland, through four care homes and a Veterans Village, comprising of 44 cottages, an Activity Centre, five Assisted Living Apartments and 24 Transitional Supported Apartments.

Erskine is a family. Their strength lies in the very special blend of dedicated care, compassion and understanding they offer to residents and their families. When Erskine was founded in 1916, their aim was to care for Service men and women who had been injured in active service. Today, care remains the cornerstone of their philosophy.
