PRESTON House Care Home in Glenrothes hosted a photography and storytelling exhibition entitled “Living and Dying in a Care Home – The Stories We Can Tell.”
Delivered in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University and Marie Curie’s Care Home Programme, the project offered a rare and intimate exploration of daily life in a care home as seen through the eyes of residents, family members, and staff.
Through photographs and personal reflections, contributors captured meaningful moments of connection, joy, challenge, and care, inviting visitors to engage with the lived experiences that shape the Preston House community.
Service manager Tracy Sayle said: “We are incredibly proud to be part of this thoughtful and sensitive project. Our residents, families, and staff have embraced the opportunity to share their stories, and the results are both powerful and deeply moving.
“This exhibition shines a light on the realities of care; the laughter, the companionship, the hard days, and the love that surrounds our residents in every stage of their journey with us.
“It is a privilege to support a project that encourages understanding, compassion, and meaningful conversations about living and dying well.”
The exhibition aims to support open and honest conversations about what it truly means to live and to die in a care home setting, and highlights the profound relationships, memories and moments that define residents’ everyday lives.
