The staff are incredibly caring and considerate and the residents' needs are paramount. It is a lovely warm setting with a family feel. I could not be happier to have my father living at Glenesk. It is a home.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate it and I'm glad you feel it's a home as that is the feeling we aspire to achieve.

Nine weeks on, Mum feels part of a family. The dedication, kindness and love go far beyond everyday care. You can see it and feel it. We laugh with the staff, and I love to visit. I have never once worried about Mum being there- the peace of mind is immense.
When Mum was offered a larger room, Carol, the manager and Becky, the handywoman, worked tirelessly while we were out, moving her furniture and belongings, arranging her ornaments and hanging curtains, so they could surprise her. She returned to a beautiful room and cried with gratitude. Carol hugged her and said, "This is why we're here."
Nothing is too much trouble. They truly care, and that kindness never changes. These beautiful people are angels, and I am so grateful we found them.
What a touching review - Thank you so much for your kind words. The recognition of what we are trying to achieve at Glenesk really means a lot to us. It's an absolute pleasure having your mum here with us and we love when you visit too!

The Owner, Manager and staff are so friendly and caring and communicate well with any medical, personal or social needs.
If permanent care is required in the future then it will definitely be at Glenesk.
Thank you for your kind words, they are most appreciated. It's always a pleasure having P either stay with us or visit for the day.

Glenesk is a wonderful care home, food always fresh, meat, fish, veg fruit all home made sweet, pies, no microwave foods. The staff are wonderful all very passionate about the job they do. I couldn't have had a better care home for my mum. It could do with a little face lift but what is most important is the people they care for and that what matters. 10/10 for me all the way.

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.

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 that facilitates giving him the best support in this stage of his life.
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.

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. 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.

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!).

My dad came to Glenesk for a few weeks in November to recover from an infection and for respite for his partner. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly. 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.
