Giffnock care home set up pub for improved quality of life for dementia patients

We're no stranger to new pubs opening across the city but this latest boozer comes with a twist we've never seen before.

The 'Staying Inn' pub sells the classic tipples and can be home to a rowdy crowd but is actually based in a Giffnock care home. The team at Eastwood Court care home worked with an occupational therapist to look at ways of improving residents’ quality of life and providing a sense of purpose for those living in the facility.
