Care Homes Owned by Northcare Scotland Ltd in Renfrewshire

We cannot thank Joel, the Manager at Clarkston House, enough for all the help, kindness and support he has shown us throughout the whole process of finding a home for our grandfather.

From our very first initial visit, Joel made us feel welcome, listened to our concerns and took the time to answer all our questions. He guided us through every step of the process, making what could have been a very difficult and emotional time for our family so much easier.

His patience, understanding and genuine care really stood out, not only during our initial visits but also throughout the settling-in period. He has been approachable, reassuring and supportive, helping us feel confident that our grandfather needs are met.

Choosing a care home for a loved one is never an easy decision, but Joel's professionalism, compassion and personal approach made such a positive difference to us as a family.

My mother receives an excellent level of care from a compassionate and professional care team. She is treated with respect and staff are always willing to provide what's ever possible to make her life comfortable and enjoyable .

Mum has been a resident since May 2026. Mum has dementia and was struggling to live at home independently. Ahead of Mum moving to Northcare my family and l including Mum had several visits, we discussed Mum's care needs and value of promoting Mum's independence. Staff created a care plan for Mum, the care plan is regularly reviewed and updated. Communication skills between staff and family are very good. We have found staff to be very approachable and supportive towards Mum and our family. All of the staff including nursing, house keeping and catering staff all know Mum by name. There are activities everyday of the week so mum can join in as she likes. We are getting to know some of the other residents and their families and there are always lovely conversations when we are sitting in the lower ground cafe. We are delighted with the care our mother is receiving.

My mother has been a resident at Clarkston House Care Home since May 2022. She is very settled there and the staff and management do a great job looking after her.

We are delighted she is there and feel she is very well cared for.

Since Dad arrived at Northcare Residences his general demeanor, attitude and overall personality has improved greatly. I feel that having company and stimulation all day has improved his mood and he genuinely seems much happier. He still believes he is there on a temporary basis and I will continue with that approach whilst I can. The staff have all been extremely kind and helpful to both dad and myself and I feel our time together is quality time now with the stress of caring for him being removed. He does struggle with the tv in his room and can't operate it so looking at ways round it as he still likes the peace of his room and watching sport and animal programmes. I will probably look at installing a television broadcaster once I have managed to finalise the details of the sale of the property. I arrived last week and dad told me he had been taken to the local pub with another resident and had a drink and chips and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Northcare care homes were recommended to me by my Mum's dentist when I was looking for respite care for her last year. She has this month enjoyed another week of respite care at Northcare Residences where I can be confident she will be safe and well-cared for. Visitors have also enjoyed the home's hospitality in the spacious basement restaurant.

My mum has been in care home since end January - hospital told us some good ones to try. The one we got to has very good reviews and as Mum got dementia they cared for her remarkably. Only thing is Mum doesn't get anything much towards fees which are very expensive. My dad 90 and he feels they worked so hard with not a lot financial help at this stage in life.

I have nothing but praise for Clarkston Care Home and it's staff. Having experience of another care home where I have another relative, the difference is huge, all in Clarkston's favour. Be it care, communication, staffing levels, etc, Clarkston comes out first on all. They genuinely care, and that regrettably is not a given in Scotland's care system. We recently attended their annual barbeque, and that was a nice gesture which my dad thoroughly enjoyed.

We, as her children feel she is safe and well cared for at Clarkston House.

Clarkston House has consistently - over a period of residence of 11.5 years - provided a warm, and caring environment where the resident's needs are provided for, and in many areas, exceeded. I have no doubt that because of this, this stage of life has been one of contentment & feelings of security contributing to wellbeing

We are really pleased with the support and care that our mother is experiencing at Clarkston House. The staff are warm and loving, and well trained to support patients with Alzheimer's and Dementia.

The facilities are also wonderful.

I have received excellent care and support from all staff during my stay. Everyone has been friendly, kind and efficient, making me feel welcome. The staff organised a private dining experience for my birthday with the other residents, which made me feel truly spoiled. As I was staying at Clarkston House for respite, I have been greatly supported to maintain my independence, which will benefit me on my return home. My en-suite room has been beautifully decorated to very high standards and I have enjoyed taking daily walks in the lovely garden. Overall I have had a wonderful experience at Clarkston House and would happily recommend it to my friends and family.

Really happy with the care my mum receives at Clarkston Care Home. The staff are all lovely + treat my mum with such dignity + respect. Although she has dementia, she appears very content with staying at the home.

I am also very happy with the quality of her room and the general areas within the home.

I've been very impressed by Clarkston House. The most important aspect is the care. Staff treat residents with respect and care. They engage with residents with sensitivity, kindness and good humour. The clinical care seems good and communication about my relative's health has been very good. Real efforts have been made by the care home to cater for what matters to my relative. The activities provided are great and designed to promote wellbeing. The management team are approachable and helpful. All of this provides reassurance about my relative's wellbeing and her future care.

Our family could not be happier with the care my mother has received at Northcare Residences. Being a family-owned care home truly makes a difference. There is a genuine warmth throughout the home, and everyone treats the residents with the kindness, respect, and compassion you would hope your own family would receive.

The staff are exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. They take the time to get to know each resident personally and go above and beyond to make everyone feel valued, safe, and comfortable. It is evident that they genuinely love what they do.

The accommodations are beautiful, welcoming, and impeccably maintained, creating a lovely place to call home. We are also so impressed by the wide variety of activities offered every day, which keep residents engaged, active, and socially connected.

The dedication and professionalism of everyone at Northcare Residences have given our family complete peace of mind. We are deeply grateful for the outstanding care

As a visitor I look forward to coming here and sharing the lovely environment whilst catching up with my parents. Every space is fantastic, classy and comfortable. I look forward to joining them in some of the brilliant activities Northcare arrange every morning and afternoon.

Eight months ago when Mum could no longer live independently at home, the search commenced for an excellent care home for her. Clarkston House has provided the 5 star care that her family sought. Mum has been treated with dignity, respect, kindness and humour from management and staff. They have shown an interest in her life story from her arrival. There is a welcome for the family when they visit and updates are offered on mum's day, what she eats, her health or concerns, and tea and biscuits/cakes are always offered. Any concerns or suggestions that the family have are acted upon immediately by all staff and management. Mum's bright and airy bedroom suite looks onto a patio and garden area. Clarkston House is decorated throughout to a high standard, with a cinema, a hairdressers and a cocktail/events room. It is clean and comfortable for its residents who can get together in the sitting room, for dining, socialising, activities or watching TV. Mum enjoys the yoga/dancing and musical activities. To conclude, this is all providing Mum with the best quality of care at this stage in her life.

My Aunt was in Clarkston House for 16 months. When she arrived, the staff all called in to see her and introduced themselves. They were all like family and they couldn't have done enough for her. She didn't take part in many of the activities but there were plenty to choose from. She enjoyed getting her hair and nails done! The food was lovely and she enjoyed the cakes with her afternoon tea. If we arrived at the right time, we got one too! The staff at Clarkston House not only supported my aunt, but supported us, her family too. We got a warm welcome at reception and also from the nurses and carers upstairs. As my aunt got more frail the staff were so caring and attentive . I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarkston House to anyone thinking of putting a loved one into care.

My Mum enjoys the food which is home made on the premises and has put on weight since she arrived, which was much needed.
