The staff were great. Always friendly and always willing to give information about mum on request.
Mum settled in nicely at Glenburnie and the staff warmed to mum. The staff spoke well of mum. I would always get a prompt telephone call if anything had happened to her and they would explain the circumstance. She was always well presented when I visited her. Her room was always clean as well as her clothes and bedclothes. All in all, her last years, although blighted by dementia, were comforting because of the support she received from Glenburnie. And for that I am truly grateful to Glenburnie. I would definitely recommend
Glenburnie as a care home for someone with dementia.
Thank you for your kind words. Your mother was such a character over the years - it's true what they say, the best things come in dainty packages.

I am more than happy with the care my dad receives since he moved into Glenburnie after a period in hospital and unable to live alone anymore. Dad is treated with respect and I feel he has settled well to his lovely new surroundings. His room is always clean and tidy as are all the communal areas.
The home has a lovely homely feel and was my first choice for dad when I was looking for somewhere for him to stay. All the staff are brilliant and very caring towards the residents. If I have any queries I know that I will be happy with the outcome.
There is always something going on for the residents to take part in if they so wish.
I feel so happy that I chose Glenburnie as dad's new home.
Thank you for your kind words. It's been a pleasure welcoming your dad to the home and are regularly entertained with his magic tricks.

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.
Thank you for your kind words. We try and make the atmosphere as friendly and inclusive as we can for residents and family alike.
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.
Thank you for your kind words, your Uncle is a wonderful character, with plenty of stories to tell from his starter days.

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

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.
Thank you for your kind & considerate words, caring for your mother was our pleasure.
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.

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.

The food is amazing. Dad is always saying how much he enjoys the meals. Mum always finishes her meals too.
Their rooms are also lovely with everything they need in them. Very clean and comfortable.
My mother has dementia and has been a resident in Glenburnie for over two years. She is content and happy in her surroundings. The staff are caring and demonstrate knowledge and understanding of her individual needs. Any change in her condition is quickly identified and appropriate action taken...
Glenburnie has a very welcoming atmosphere. It is clean and homely. The food is tasty, freshly prepared on the premises and much enjoyed. Visitors are always offered tea, and it is lovely to be able to share this sociable experience with my mum. My father visits daily; very much enjoys his tea and cake (and special meals at Christmas). We also celebrated his 90th birthday in the home, and cook even made him a cake! These important details all contribute to Mum feeling Glenburnie is her home.
Regular meetings for residents and relatives promote shared decision making, and there is clear evidence of the important management place on staff training.
I am so happy with how my aunt and uncle are both being looked after in the care home, due to my aunts health deteriorating, and not being so able - her and her husband have adapted well to the change. My aunt always talks about how lovely the staff are, and I observe them to be very happy, and...
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.
