The staff have been amazing so cheerful and caring. I visit almost daily and have often witnessed the care and compassion. I can walk towards Dad's room and listen to the conversation taking place...
Glenesk staff take such great care of the residents and visitors nothing is too much.
after your father, everyone loves him!

My mum has now been at Glenesk Care Home for just over 3 years. The standards of care is high. The staff treat residents as their own parents with compassion, dignity and respect. They go over and above their role as carers. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The manager is approachable, always on hand and shows warmth. I am always made to feel welcome.
Thank you for your kind words, it is such a pleasure looking after your mum and I'm glad you're happy with everything so far. See you soon!
My dad has had a few weeks of respite at Glenesk Care Home and is now staying permanently. We are very pleased with the care he has received. He has dementia and has settled in really well. It's a very homely place, and we would definitely recommend this care home. All the staff have been wonderful.

Thank you for your lovely review. It's a pleasure having your dad at the home and interacting with such a supportive family.
The team regularly stays in consultation with me regarding my father’s health and care concerns and I feel that we have a great rapport...
The team recently made a fabulous effort to engage with him with their ‘make a wish’ scheme, where the staff accommodated his request and provided him with a specific meal which they especially procured and cooked to his taste. He was absolutely delighted with the effort that the staff had gone to and raved about the meal to his family. I feel really assured that he is well cared for at Glenesk, as the whole team are really professional and friendly whilst striving to give the residents the best care they can provide.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's lovely to see that the unwavering commitment and dedication of the staff team is recognised by residents and their families. It is a pleasure looking after your father.
My dad came into the care home on respite with his partner 4 weeks ago and now are going to stay permanently, all the staff are very friendly and caring and the manager is lovely and the care home is run excellently, I'm really happy that my dad and his partner are very well looked after

The staff are so kind, I know we all worry about him but we know the staff would tell us if there was anything wrong. We know he is safe. I can't say how grateful we all are to the home for helping us and looking after him and Mum when she visits. Thank you, I've still to meet the boss of the home.

Always made to feel welcome.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to the team when their commitment and hard work is appreciated, so I'll be sure to pass this on to them. It's a pleasure having your mum in the home!
Had a good time here. Everyone is good, and I got on with the staff and got on with the residents.

My aunt has been a resident for almost two years now, and I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the care they provide for her. The food is excellent, and the activities designed for the residents are testing and stimulating.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It is a pleasure and an honour looking after your aunt and we look forward to doing more as things start getting back to normal.

My elder brother was taken to A & E following two falls at home. On discharge, it was felt that he would be unsafe to return home on his own. He was admitted to Glenesk Care Home. My only connection with the staff there has been at the door or by telephone. They have all been very helpful and appear to be very caring. Due to the covid, my brother had to stay in isolation when he was first admitted early in December. He was made to feel very welcome and has since spent time with others over Christmas and new year.
Thank you for your review. It certainly is a difficult time to come into a care home with visiting restrictions and initial isolation (all government guidance which we have to follow), but I very much look forward to a post-lockdown time when you can have the LFD test (results within 30 minutes) and visit your brother in our new log cabin!
The home offers a very caring approach to looking after residents. I had a major problem that impacted my mum, the home supported my mum with her concerns and worries over the situation. My mum feels safe and secure in the home and says it's like a hotel.

Thank you for your lovely review! It is a pleasure looking after your Mum and having gotten to know her over the years. I look forward to you being able to visit again which will hopefully be soon.

This is a lovely home, my nanna was with this wonderful team for approx 2.5 years, she was cared for and cared about as though she was family. During the Covid lockdown when we couldn't visit, we were kept informed on how she was doing on a regular basis and although we couldn't see her we had no concerns about her care. We sadly lost her to dementia in December, the staff were fantastic, kept us informed of any changes in her condition and when she passed we know she was surrounded by people that genuinely cared about her, we cannot thank them enough, they really are all angels.
Thank you for your lovely review - it was a pleasure looking after your Nanna. Her laugh is certainly missed. Also what a lovely commemoration service for her which I had the honour of attending.
Glenesk staff cared for my mum until she passed away in August. We found their care excellent and couldn't do enough for you. Especially there palliative care.

Glenesk staff cared for my mum until she passed away in August. We found their care excellent and couldn't do enough for you. Especially there palliative care. Mum loved it there and thought of it as her home. She loved all the staff who were always friendly. They are still caring for my aunt who also loves it there. The staff go above and beyond. I and my family would highly recommend Glenesk. They have all been angels through such difficult circumstances.
Thank you for your heart warming review, its so nice to hear how valued our staff team are from a resident's family's perspective. We miss your mum and she is still talked about at the home. I personally miss the warmth she used to exude like when she would hold my hand and bring it to her cheek,...
Thank you for your heart warming review, its so nice to hear how valued our staff team are from a resident's family's perspective. We miss your mum and she is still talked about at the home. I personally miss the warmth she used to exude like when she would hold my hand and bring it to her cheek, not to mention her being the first one to dance, especially when she was more able to do so! We hope to be able to facilitate visiting soon, so you can come to visit your aunt (and we miss seeing you all too!).

As I live 150 miles away, it was reassuring that I felt he was in a safe place. Recently, he went back for a few weeks and I really felt the staff cared about him and put a lot of heart into their job.
Thank you for your lovely review. It was so nice having your father with us and he is certainly missed. It was lovely to have had him involved in one of our fire drills considering his career too. We will be more than happy to help going forward should there be a need and once the world returns back to normal, you are all welcome to pop in for a drink.
Always felt welcome going to the home. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Excellent care is given to my mother. Always informed about the care of mum. Feels like one big happy family.

Mum has been in this care home for 6 months and has settled in very well, she has dementia but has 24-hour care which is first class. She is treated with dignity and is well cared for.
The staff are excellent and caring and I would have no problem recommending it.

Having a partner as a resident in Glenesk Care Home, I can recommend this home as a safe and best care facility in the area, the management and staff, are of the best in their care of residents, including entertainment, birthday parties and Gala days. In the large garden, there are singing...
I am giving the highest recommendation to the management, the staff, and all who assist in running this home, which in my view should be the level other care homes should try to reach.
Glenesk is a comfortable, welcoming home. There is still a bit of décor to be done but I am certain it will be carried out ASAP. Things are being done in order of importance for residents, not just visitors. Management listens to the relatives suggestions and if at all possible takes them on board....
Glenesk is a comfortable, welcoming home. There is still a bit of décor to be done but I am certain it will be carried out ASAP. Things are being done in order of importance for residents, not just visitors. Management listens to the relatives suggestions and if at all possible takes them on board. It has improved so much in the last 4 and a half years my father has been there and I can honestly say, if it was not for the care and attention he has received there, he would not be here. I have recommended Glenesk to my friend for her mother.
Thank you for your lovely heartfelt review. As you mentioned, we have a refurbishment program in place, tackling one room at a time with the lounge next on our list! See you soon.
