The care company is also familiar with the protocol for medical care at home. The business was founded by Ben’s mother, Helen McDonald, just over a decade ago with the aim of raising the bar for the care of the elderly. Ben Macdonald told us about the company he now runs. He said : “The whole business came about because my mum used to work in care homes when she was younger, and she saw that the clients, the elderly, were not getting the best possible treatment. “Being taken away from their family and their home was clearly very stressful for them - as if dementia didn't take away enough already - so she thought, why not turn it on its head and send fantastic carers, handpicked by ourselves, into the clients’ homes?” And that is exactly what The Care Crew do: they offer a bespoke in-home care service for those who suffer from debilitating illnesses or conditions in the latter years of their lives. Ben explained : “By delivering the care in their own homes, the clients can still maintain their freedom. “It’s not stripped away from them by being restricted to a care home room every day. “Freedom is something that we want to retain as much as possible so there isn’t any part of Scotland that we won’t go to.” “Based in Perthshire, we have clients as far west as Argyll and as far north as Aberdeen, and we’ve even been known to go abroad.” Certainly, The Care Crew do not hesitate to go the extra mile when it comes to giving their clients a first-class standard of care. All of the company’s employees are taught to treat their clients like they would their own grandparents or members of their family. https://carecrew.co.uk Tel : 07738 625 021 Advertising feature. Celebrating the Edinburgh Film Guild Councillor Gillian Gloyer drew the Edinburgh Film Guild to the council's attention last month. She explained its importance to Edinburgh and asked the Lord Provost to hold a civic reception at the City Chambers to mark its 90th consecutive season - which he agreed to do. The Edinburgh Film Guild is, as she explains, the oldest continually running film society in the world. "Even people who go to the cinema a lot, even people who go to Filmhouse a lot, often have no idea that Edinburgh is home to the oldest continually running film society in the world - the Edinburgh Film Guild. "It was established in 1929 by luminaries of Scottish film and film studies - Forsyth Hardy and Norman Wilson among others. They were inspired by the Film Society, set up in London in 1925. And yet as John Grierson wrote two decades later, "The old London Film Society was the first to break from somewhat exclusive attention to the avant-garde and take the longer and harder way of the Russians and more purposive users of the cinema. But it was the Edinburgh Film Guild which completed the movement - as the London Film Society did not - and saw the infinite variety of a Film Society's obligations to all categories of the medium". We screen over sixty films a year for our members. In this 90th year, our programme includes Chinese, Hungarian, Japanese and Mexican films; British crime thrillers and films noirs; sci-fi, giallo and westerns. It also includes a mini-season of films from the first years of the Guild, by directors such as Pabst and Sternberg. The Guild not only screens films for its members, it is also an educational charity. We run film and media courses, often in conjunction with Lifelong Learning at the University of Edinburgh. We have sponsored lectures as part of the Film Festival. All our activities are run by volunteer members of the Guild. We have our own 31-seat cinema within Filmhouse, and a club-room where members can relax before or after our screenings and chat to each other about the films they have seen. We welcome new members and you can become one for as little as £25! The Edinburgh Film Guild has been contributing to the city’s cultural life and educating our citizens about cinema for nine decades. Care Crew are here to provide a quality care service in our clients’ own homes Call us on: 07738 625 021 www.carecrew.co.uk
