New Care Home Providing the Highest Quality Furnishings From Matrix

Lindsay House in Lumphinnans is a two story building which is set to replace Jenny Gray Care Homes and Valley House. The facility comprises of 60 rooms on each floor with additional public rooms; sitting rooms and cinema.

Fife Day Care Services will also relocate their service to Lindsay House and are planning for residents/day service users to transfer to Lindsay House commencing week beginning 23^rd April.

Matrix has the privilege of being commissioned to do all of the curtains, pelmets, cushions, seat pads and radiator covers. Matrix staff then completed the task via measuring, making and then fitting. It has been a huge project as all the measures are different and some of the rooms have more than one pair of curtains.

Matrix were also able to furnish the ‘extra care’ part of the home.

We look forward to hearing more about this fabulous new care home/day service and wish Elinor Campbell, Unit Manager, her staff and residents the best of luck!
