It is pleasing that some of its former residents are returning to brand new self-contained homes supported by care tailored to their specific needs. These include Tommy Henry (pictured) who joined local Councillor Ian Fitzsimmons in declaring the development open on 2 December 2005.
The development has helped to remake the streetscape which was lost in the 1970s in Girvan’s historic core. The total cost was £1.3 millions and this was supported by a grant from Communities Scotland of £1million. It formed part of a joint project with South Ayrshire Council and Quarriers to replace two out-moded residential homes in Girvan – Kirkbrae and Seabank linked to improved access to local care provision
