I am very happy with the care that is given by Glennie House. The staff and management go far beyond what they need and require to do and I have no complaint about them. My only complaint is that fresh fruit is not included in the monthly cost.

She has good days and not so good days adapting to care home care. She does not have dementia and I think that is what is difficult to accept with many of the other residents as they wander about and enter her room where she wants some privacy. All the staff and management have been great with her. We can see that all the staff are very busy as they clearly are down on staff numbers, but they are great and very cheery, mum's not very sociable right now due to UTI issues and experiencing discomfort. Nurses are great. Food is good. No complaints really. Well done Glennie.

Mum moved into Glennie House in Feb 2026. She has settled well into the home due to all the lovely staff welcoming her. Nothing is too much trouble. All the staff know mum - what she likes/needs and take time to ask mum about her. She regularly goes on trips and is included. The staff are supportive not only to mum but to family also on the difficult days. I could not recommend Glennie House enough. Photos from Glennie House show my mum is happy - that is all family want mum to be.

The care home staff do their best to meet the needs of residents. They listen to complaints and try to improve their practice where possible. Retention of staff is problematic. Staff are generally cheerful and friendly. Management and administration are approachable and receptive.

Since my sister came into this care home I have found it to be a very caring home. All the the staff are very pleasant and caring towards all who live in it. The domestic staff are really second to none and keep the nursing home very clean and all the staff are wonderful in making sure everyone has a chance to voice their oppinion on there meals. If they don't like something they will change the menu. What more can you ask for a nursing home.
Thank you so much for your kind words, your review is much appreciated and will pass on to the rest of the team.
The dedication and support and help from everyone at Glennie House, staff and management, has been fantastic. Our mother would not be here with us but for the care and love from all in Boswell. Even before she had her accident, she has settled in here great.

The carers dont communicate enough with relatives. Washing residents clothes is a shambles. My husbands clothes were always going missing and still is. I take them home now.

My dad spent two weeks at Glennie House for respite care. As a family, we had no idea how to approach or organise anything concerning care homes but the staff at Glennie House were just so helpful and friendly. My dad's stay was comfortable and he enjoyed the company of the staff and the food! The respite care provided the 24-hour care that Dad needed at that time. Nothing is too much trouble at Glennie House and the minute we walked through the door we felt welcome and relaxed. A very positive experience. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind review, it was a pleasure meeting you all.
