The six-home development in Fort Augustus clusters residents with varying needs for efficient care delivery. Each home includes an adapted restroom and kitchen for wheelchair users along with ample living space. Common areas including a gazebo and gardens are connected to the homes by level paths for scooters. Residents of Telford Centre work with their carers to determine if they can Step Down into independent housing or need to Step Up into long-term stays.
