Celebrating Members of the Team

This year, Randolph Hill Group celebrates 40 Years, and we would like to shine a light on some of our loyal team members

Today we thank Administrator Joanna Courtney, and Housekeeper Carol Widdowson for their years of dedicated service, as they both started Muirfield Nursing Home on the same day in May 2016.

“Working for Randolph Hill over the years has given us the opportunity to gain so many lovely memories with the residents and their families. On numerous occasions, the relatives have said they consider us as part of their extended family. This really means a lot to us all. With this said, we feel lucky to work as part of a great team and look forward to making many more memories.

When we started at Muirfield, it was still in the old Bissets Hotel Building. One time, there was a fundraising event being held there for the STV children’s appeal and Sean Batty came to the home to collect the cheque.

The foundations for the new Muirfield were in place and it was fascinating to watch the progression until the first phase opened in July 2017. It was exciting, welcoming the resident’s to the new purpose-built home. When the second phase was finished towards the end of 2018, the Lord Lieutenant officially opened the home in April 2019. The residents, their families, staff and the local community were invited to join in the celebrations. It was a fantastic day. Another memorable day was when the Red Hot Chilli Pipers came to the home and played a set in the garden. We have also celebrated a Golden and Diamond wedding anniversary, a few 100th birthdays, and a wedding. We recently had an art exhibition where residents from all homes were involved.”
