Volunteering at a nursing home is a great idea for someone who's outgoing. Learn what it's like and fill our form to get started volunteering at our nursing home. In the 1980s the Council of the National Council of Voluntary Organisations agreed that a home for the aged was much needed in the Cayman Islands. Members of the Council acquired land belonging to the McField family on which the original Home was built, and the Home was named after the Pine trees on the Seven Mile Beach. Mrs Olive Miller, who was the first Manager from 1983 until 1991 and who now lives in the Home, explained that at the time some people were heard saying “its called the Pines so old people can go there and pine their lives away”. but thats the last thing we want anybody to think, we wanted it to be a place where old people would be sheltered from the sun and the difficulties of old age and enjoy their last days. The home was formally opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to the Cayman Islands in February 1983.
