Glenburnie Care Home

Glenburnie as a care home for someone with dementia.

I feel so happy that I chose Glenburnie as dad's new home.

Most residents seem happy and content.

My Mother-In-Law has been a resident of Glenburnie for many years, she suffered with dementia when she first arrived and has always been treated with great respect and all her complex needs have never seemed like too much troubled. In more recent years she has became bed bound, all the staff do their very best to make her as comfortable as she can possibly be. Family visit regularly but if there is any health issue the staff inform us straight away. The whole family have nothing but praise for the staff and we wouldn't want her to be any place else. The Home is kept very clean and is always welcoming. Lots of activities going on and lots of smiling faces.

All staff are extremely attentive and very friendly, they make you feel welcome and makes living in Glenburnie as if your all the same family. Visitors from family and friends get to know staff and residents which is nice helps everyone.

My uncle has lived at Glenburnie for almost ten years and, throughout that time, he has been well cared for in a fairly spacious room overlooking the golf course where he used to work as starter. The home is well located within the community of Leven, convenient for public transport. The home and grounds are well-maintained, with regular redecoration of rooms. Meals are served either in residents' rooms or in a very pleasant communal dining area (with adjoining TV lounge) where entertainments are sometimes provided. By all accounts, the food is good, and my uncle has been thriving on it. The staff are very kind and patient, and are quick to summon medical assistance when required. The home has a real 'family-run' feel, much better than more impersonal, larger establishments.

On occasion I feel the home is relatively short staffed but this is a nationwide problem not just Glenburnie.

My mother has only been at Glenburie for a short time. In that time I cannot fault the management and staff. They look after my mother very well and with respect They are able to find out quickly if she is not feeling right and resolve the matter. The care home is very homely and friendly. You are made welcome when you visit. They are always available if you have any questions.

I have nothing but praise for care that my mother has received during her years' stay at Glenburnie. She had her own comfortable room with an adjustable bed, tv, en-suite etc. Her increasing frailty and subsequent palliative care was no problem for the staff to deal with. She loved the attention of the able and cheery staff who were regularly in her room helping with meals and making her comfortable. She never once had a complaint. Visiting was easy at any time and staff regularly liaised with family on the phone.

A good experience, friendly and hard-working staff. Always there to help you and explain anything that has happened. My mum's room is always clean.

Glenburnie Care Home provides excellent facilities and care to residents. As a visitor to this home, I have always felt welcome and included in decisions regarding my mum's care. The home is very clean and well-maintained at all times. The food always looks appetising and plentiful. Residents choose from a menu daily. The staff I have witnessed treat residents with kindness and dignity.

The staff are always ready to listen to residents and go the extra mile to help.

The therapy pets are a favourite of my friends.

The level of care is so personnel, the home has adapted quickly to my mum's ever-changing condition. They are so quick to identify when something isn’t right and act on it. She is well cared for, and she, in turn, loves the staff.

All residents seem to be content and relaxed.

Like everything about Glenburnie, location and it’s very homely. The staff are very welcoming, and I know my mum will receive the care and attention she requires.

Their rooms are also lovely with everything they need in them. Very clean and comfortable.

Regular meetings for residents and relatives promote shared decision making, and there is clear evidence of the important management place on staff training.

Would highly recommend Glenburnie.

The care my aunt has received over the past 18 months has been excellent. The staff are so friendly, it is like walking into a family home. My aunt’s well-being has progressed enormously since moving to the home - she is stronger, healthier, has put weight on and is happy. The home communicates very well when there are any issues to be dealt with and the management are very approachable.
