The dining room is located on the ground floor adjacent to the lounge. The lounge and dining areas are open plan which allows the residents to move easily around.

Everything is marvellous, the food is good. The care I receive at night is marvellous.

I don't like snack lunches. Just because one resident is so slow with breakfast, everyone has to suffer. Some food is very nice - no complaints. Lacking morning tea and afternoon drink.

It was agreed at a residents meeting that the residents would like a smaller meal at lunch time and a larger meal at tea time. A main course and a pudding are provided at both meal times. Drinks are provided throughout the day. We have a host of activities on offer which residents are free to participate in or not.
Glen Tanar is a very happy home. The staff are super - always ready to help.

The staff at Glen Tanar are like one big family, they welcome you in, offer you tea, coffee or anything else. The all seem to enjoy talking and doing things with them. Taking them out to the shops and the sea front. Nothing seems to be a problem for them. I would recommended this care home to everyone I know as everyone goes beyond their duties.
How welcome they made my family and grandfather feel when he moved in.

I viewed many care homes prior to my father being admitted to the Glen Tanar, I narrowed it down to this one and another which are both owned by the same people.
My friend has had to go into the home as she was in a bad way, but I am very pleased to say she is almost back to normal. I have worked in many nursing homes as a carer, but this home is the best I've been in. It's a joy to visit, they make you very welcome at all times, nothing is too much...

I would give it 100%.
My mum's been in the care home for the last year and she loves every minute of it. She could not be in a better place, with all the love care and affection that is given by the manger and all her staff is beyond their call of duty. I could not fault this home in anyway and home is what it is.
