Ark Buckie is a friendly place. As you come into the close you will usually see some of the residents out and having a chat. On a sunny day it’s a lively place to be with everyone socialising and enjoying the day.

Inside the office, you will find Mandy, Melanie, and Lana who are the Care and Support Managers.
