Alex Ross had a specific
concern for the care of elderly Christian Believers and felt that there
should be a home with a Christian environment where they could be cared
for in the latter years of their lives. This was a view shared by many others who willingly gave of their time and money to enable the project to be a success.
A constitution was agreed to ensure that this ethos would continue in the future. This
states that all residents should be Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ
and that priority will be given to those belonging to the Open Brethren
Assemblies. Today, Summerhill is home to Believers from a
number of denominations who all share a love for the Lord Jesus Christ
and enjoy one another’s fellowship.
Summerhill is located
in a pleasant residential area in the west end of Aberdeen with easy
access by car or bus from the city centre. It is also within a short walking distance from Fernielea Gospel Hall.
There are regular inspections by the Care Commission and reports may be viewed on the Care Commission web site.
