I Always turn up unannounced and have always been greeted warmly. I Feel my Mum is cared for at all times and staff attend to all her needs well. Her room is homely and we have brought in some of her own furniture to help her settle. She says the food is good and although she may not join in with some activities, is always encouraged to do so. They have different artists on and go on outings at times. Staff are always approachable and friendly. I feel confident in the care she receives and talk to staff about her care needs often. It's a huge relief to find a home that all the family are happy with.
Mum has lived at Glen Tenar a year now & she feels at home here. The home gives exemplary, impressive, attentive & loving care. This place is definitely a home from home Care Home. Family are made to feel welcome at any time of the day and we feel like we are part of the Glen Tanar family...
Glen Tenar keep us consistently updated on mums care & involved me in the Care Plan. We feel we can approach the management & staff with any ideas or questions & are avidly listened to on any aspect of Mum's care.
Residents in the home always appear happy & are part of a big family.
We always leave mum knowing she is in good, capable hands with members of staff who actually do care. They truly are exceptional & staff feel like friends.
Thank you to the Manager & staff - you are the best, we wouldn't want Mum living anywhere else.

This is an amazing care home with excellent staff who go above and beyond to look after their residents. All the staff at Glen Taner are so caring, they keep you updated on everything that happens within the home. The food is excellent and bedrooms are very comfortable. They provide lots of games, outings and different events which family and friends can attend. We couldn't ask for anything else for our mum. We were unsure about putting mum in a care home after she'd been in hospital after a nasty fall, but it was the best decision we made. Mum has been at Glen Taner for over 3 years and is very happy there.
My dad has settled in so well, nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone.

My mum has been in the home just over 3 months. It was a really hard decision but my mums dementia has progressed and my dad was struggling to keep her at home. The understanding and support from the manager and staff made the transition so much easier and we started with a 3 month trial. There have been a few small issues which is to be expected but I raised any concerns with the manager and they were resolved easily. My mum was struggling with the change at first especially sleeping, but the staff have all been patient and understanding, even going out of their way to make her feel safe and put her at ease. We find the home very homely and family of residents are welcome all the time and anytime. They have great engaging activities and encourage the residents to take part. The food is cooked by a chef and is healthy and nutritious with good menu options. The home is clean and safe. It is very reassuring to know my mum is being well looked after by caring staff she is now very settled

Glen Tanar is a lovely home that not only makes mum feel at home but also welcomes and supports us as a family. All the residents in the home always have a smile on their faces, and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. They go above and beyond with the outstanding care given to the residents at Glen Tanar.
Their entertainment program is outstanding, and they try to encourage all residents to be involved, which is lovely, and it is also lovely to see updates on social media when you have work commitments.
My mum has now settled and really enjoys being there, which is reassuring for the family. I also now feel that when I leave Mum, she is happy, and I know she is safe and very well looked after. I can't thank the manager and her team enough for making a very difficult decision and time as a family reassuring and lovely for our mum.

This care home is excellent, the staff are so caring and fun. The communication with management is clear and helpful. Mother-in-law is so happy and loves the staff and the interaction with all the residents too. There is always a great atmosphere in the home, but it's also very professional too....
11/10 super excellent!
Thank you for your kind words. It is lovely to receive such a positive review. We will pass your comments on to the staff as they are the ones that make the home what it is. We want them to feel valued and be proud of what they do.

Glen Tanar has been the right choice of care home for my Aunt. She has been a resident for several years and during this time the care she has received has been excellent. The staff is hardworking, tentative towards my Aunt, and caring. They are all extremely approachable and will help with whatever needs you require. My aunt has been extremely happy and gets on well with all the staff. Management is fantastic. I can't fault this care home and would highly recommend it.
Such lovely staff, so very kind to my mum and so very kind to us when we visit. Staff go out of their way to make sure Mum is comfortable. Staff take time to contact us regularly as we live such a long way from Mum, they make sure we are updated and make it easy to visit whenever it suits us.

We came to view Glenn Tanar when my Dad was in another home we weren't happy with. We loved it immediately. We had to wait a few weeks for a place to become available, now he is in Glenn Tanar we are delighted with the experience for Dad. It's such a relief for him to be in a happy home where he is entertained and treated with dignity. I can't speak highly enough of the ream here, who have made him (and us) feel very welcome.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is great to receive such wonderful feedback.
