A former day care centre in Paisley has been put on the market with a £1.5 million price tag, sparking interest in the future of the site.
Montrose Day Care Centre, which was originally built in 2007, was declared surplus to requirements in 2024. The decision came as part of a wider review of local care services, leading to changes in how support is delivered to residents.
Those who previously called Montrose Day Care Centre their home have since moved on to alternative accommodation at Hunterhill and Renfrew care homes, ensuring continuity of care. Meanwhile, day care services that were once provided at Montrose have now been relocated to Ralston Community Centre.
The £1.5 million valuation of the property raises questions about what might come next for the site. Given its modern build and strategic location, it could attract developers or organisations looking to repurpose the facility for other uses. The property is going to be targeted to other care service providers, which may see it continue to play a role in supporting vulnerable individuals in the community.
Local residents will no doubt be keen to see what plans emerge for the future of Montrose Day Care Centre’s former premises. Whether it finds a new role within the community or is redeveloped for an entirely different purpose remains to be seen.
