I moved into the home when my live-in carer was no longer able to help me at home. The care that I have received has been excellent. The staff are very accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble. My health is not good and they notice any deterioration and act very quickly to make me comfortable and let the doctor know. The food is out of this world, I love it.

Mother is a naturally bubbly person and she likes to have a laugh and banter with the staff. The food is good, home-cooked and plenty of variety. There are also some good activities provided. Great adherence to Gov guidelines during this Covid crisis.
I have been living in the home now for two years. Everyone is so kind and helpful. The activities are fun, and I enjoy the new style of 'virtual' entertainment. The food is always excellent and always a good choice. I would certainly recommend the Glen Lyn to anyone thinking of a care home.

I receive nothing but kindness and respect from the people that care for me. I can choose how I wish to spend my day. There is always someone to help and something to do if I want to.

I have a very high regard for Glen Lyn, almost entirely because of the quality of the staff who are, without exception, caring and thoughtful. The care home is comfortable, with good facilities, but the main thing is the quality of the staff, which is exceptional.

(I have not given an opinion in 3 of the areas below simply because I do not know. I have no reason to think that the food and drink are not very good, for example, but I don't actually know).

Fantastic home. Had not been away for 12 years as I was caring for mum. Had two weeks away and my mum absolutely loved being there. Have been given further weeks respite and I am so comfortable leaving my 90-year-old mum in the hands of Glen Lyn. Not a bad thing to say. Staff are friendly, caring...
Fantastic home. Had not been away for 12 years as I was caring for mum. Had two weeks away and my mum absolutely loved being there. Have been given further weeks respite and I am so comfortable leaving my 90-year-old mum in the hands of Glen Lyn. Not a bad thing to say. Staff are friendly, caring and efficient. Food and accommodation superb. Thank you, Glen Lyn.
The owners were really kind and considerate. The staff were very friendly and made us feel dad was safe with them. It did feel like a home and dad was happy while he was there. He really liked the food too.
