“Human rights aren’t just policy - they’re a promise.”

As part of the campaign, we’re sharing this powerful video from Carol-Anne Foote (Meallmore), highlighting why human rights should be at the centre of how social care is planned, funded and delivered every day.

Because great care isn’t about fitting people into services. It’s about building services around people.

The numbers tell an important story:

1 in 23 people in Scotland receive social care support
There are 328,600 more people aged 50+ than in 2011
Over 74,000 adults rely on independent providers like us

At Baillieston Community Care, these aren’t just statistics. They reflect real people, real lives, and real moments that matter every single day.

Social care isn’t an add-on. It’s a vital part of how our communities function – supporting individuals to live well, easing pressure on the NHS, and helping families stay connected.

When care is shaped around human rights and real lived experience, it creates the conditions for people to:

Live with dignity, regardless of their circumstances
Stay independent, with the right support at the right time
Remain connected to the people and places that matter most

We’re proud to be part of the campaign, sharing what care truly means for the people we support across our communities.

Because behind every number is a person, and every person has a story worth valuing.

Care Creates… dignity, independence and connection.

Today kicks off the Care Creates campaign led by Scottish Care – a six-week spotlight on the heart, creativity and real impact of social care across Scotland.

Each week will focus on a different theme, and we’re starting with Human Rights. It’s all about recognising how rights underpin good care – supporting choice, protecting dignity, and making sure people are truly heard in how they live their lives.

We’re proud to be part of this and look forward to sharing what care creates for the people and communities we support. We’d also encourage others across the sector to get involved and share their stories too.

We are delighted to share that our very own Calico House Care Home is featured in a music video starring the acclaimed David Hayman.

The song, titled Wind by Songraes, features lead actor David Hayman in the role of a man living with dementia who believes he has been transported back to the past.

The video is deeply emotional and delivers a powerful message about the experiences of those living with dementia.

We would like to extend our thanks to Director and Producer, David Arthur, for reaching out to us and choosing Calico House Care Home as the setting for the opening and closing scenes.

Today, Baillieston Community Care and Extended Personal Care pause to remember the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust.

We reflect on the importance of dignity, compassion, and standing against hatred in all its forms.

Holocaust Memorial Day reminds us why kindness, inclusion, and speaking up still matter today.
