Overall Experience

My husband David was in Glenkindie Lodge for 4 years. He died in October. He was wonderfully looked after. His dementia made him difficult but he always looked happy. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, we were always made welcome by the staff. I wholeheartedly recommend Glenkindie Lodge.

Reply from Wendy, Registered Manager at Glenkindie Lodge

Thank you Lyndsay, he is so missed by all, such a great personality, a huge thank you also for the generous donation.

Review from Jackie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Dad arrived at Glenkindie some 4 years ago in the early days of the pandemic. Despite the challenge the care home faced, Dad's admission and care that was provided throughout his time with them was marvellous. Communication was excellent right up until his unfortunate passing. We witnessed the home

improvements; visiting rooms were made more homely, bedrooms upgraded, a variety of activities were offered and you could see that staff were really happy in their work and cared for all the residents. They were also very good at looking after me as I would often become really emotional when seeing Dad's deterioration on my visits. Dad was very a challenging resident when he first arrived and yet the staff took all of his behaviours in their stride and quickly developed a very holistic approach towards managing him. The family are ever grateful for the care Dad received over the years and wants to thank the entire team for his last few years which allowed him to be safe and very happy.

Thank you Jackie, Dad was such a lovely gentleman and is sadly missed by all, as are you and your family, such a supportive caring family to work with.

Review from Dave C (Son of Resident) published on 4 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident for over 2 years, she arrived during covid and passed away in February 2023.
Whilst one could say the care home is not all singing and dancing brand new with ultra-modern facilities, my mother felt utterly at home and the care and love she received from the staff during her

stay was without doubt fantastic. I think the clue is in the title 'care home' and she was certainly cared for. I would have no problem in recommending this establishment to anyone who wishes their elderly relatives to be looked after in their twilight years.

Reply from Wendy, Registered Manager at Glenkindie Lodge

Thank you that is very kind, the staff work very hard and are a great team, your mother was a lovely lady and a pleasure to be part of her life.

Review from Elaine C (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at Glenkindie Lodge for over a year now. What a difference it has made. She is now living such a better quality of life and for us, as a family, we can see a massive improvement in her all-round well-being. Staff look after all the residents so compassionately and treat them

with respect and dignity.
My mum has formed a really strong bond with everyone here. It has made a difference to our own mental health too, as we all worried about her so much. They are quick to identify anything that is untoward and act immediately. For example, it was evident to them Mum had a U.T.I. A Doctor was called immediately and a prescription was ordered and collected the same day. Just one example of excellent care.
The manager runs and organises her staff team fantastically and all are extremely professional.

Reply from Wendy Fox, Registered Manager at Glenkindie Lodge

Thank you, Elaine, it is very much appreciated, the staff work very hard to ensure all residents are well supported and live as comfortably as possible, I will pass on your kind words.
