CUNNIGAR HOUSE MESSAGE
our tenants are frail elderly who are currently like yourselves on lockdown . Most of them are unable to go outside and because of social distancing are also unable to use the communal dining room, lounge and conservatory.
My amazing staff are continuing to provide all the care and support they need during this difficult time but I was wondering if you happen to be passing our building during your daily exercise time could you wave into the tenants if you see them at their windows ?
If you have any friends or relatives in Cunnigar House you can hand in cards or letters at the front door from 11am - 3pm, they will be taken from you safely or you can email messages to me at Lorraine. Walker@westlothian.gov.uk Thank you and keep safe
