My dad has been a resident of Rutherglen Care Home since 2020. He was admitted during Covid, a difficult time for everyone, but the staff were brilliant. The staff are friendly, helpful and take amazing care of my dad, he is always so happy. The care home is so clean and tidy. All the staff do an amazing job. The food looks awesome too.
Thank you for the great review. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and their excellent care for your dad. We're glad to hear he is happy and well taken care of. Your feedback means a lot to us and we're grateful for your support. Kind Regards.

My mother had been in the dementia section of Rutherglen Care Home - 10 Woodside Unit for years. Staff fine, but my mother's two gold rings went missing off her fingers a year before she died - one gold sovereign ring - one gold snake ring. Also, an antique lamp in her room disappeared which is sad. Please take your family's valuables off them before considering a placement here other than that your family will be safe and looked after. Anyone thinking of putting family members here it's a good place - most staff are nice some people aren't when you ask them to do something for you - it's like they can't be bothered - exceptional Nigerian staff do anything for you thank you guys. You get that in most workplaces anyway.
Hello Stewart and thank you very much for your review and feedback. Sorry to hear about your mother's rings going missing and as a matter of course we always now recommend to families upon admission to keep precious jewellery locked up somewhere safe and rather just use costume jewellery instead....
Hello Stewart and thank you very much for your review and feedback. Sorry to hear about your mother's rings going missing and as a matter of course we always now recommend to families upon admission to keep precious jewellery locked up somewhere safe and rather just use costume jewellery instead. Whilst caring for residents living with dementia we always try our best to keep their belongings safe and secure but there may be occasions where residents themselves remove their jewellery and tuck it away somewhere or offer items to friends, who may also be residents to wear and they get lost that way. Please do get in touch with us via our main reception with a description or pictures of the items and we will conduct a further search of Woodside House in the hope of retrieving them. Thank you for your comments about the staff and we now have more permanent colleagues rather than using agency which has resulted in positive improvements. Best wishes to you and the family.

From the start, she was very content there and was very well looked after by the staff. I was very happy with the communication and helpful response from the team as we now live 200+ miles away and visits were at intervals over the years and particularly hard during Covid.
We were able however to telephone regularly and speak to the staff on duty who were always happy to chat and give messages to her. This was a great comfort to us and they could not have been more caring and informative on these calls lately and also their calls to me when anything regarding her help and well being needed to be discussed.
We really liked the trouble they went to on her 100th celebration when we were able to have a small group of relatives and friends spend time with her in the private room provided with decorations plus plates and glasses available for a small party for her.
A1 care.
It was truly an honour and a privilege to host her 100th birthday celebrations in the Care Home, albeit under restrictions.

Dear Michael, on behalf of the whole team, our deepest sympathies go to you and the rest of the family following the loss of your mother,It was truly an honour and a privilege to host her 100th birthday celebrations in the Care Home, albeit under restrictions.
We really appreciate your kind comments and it is so lovely to hear that you were so pleased with the care your mum received during her final years. Best wishes to you.
My sister has improved greatly with the help and care of the staff. They are treating her with dignity. Recently due to the weather and outdoor visits she is so much happier too. Well done to all the staff for their care and patience.

Hubby has been twice now and gets on well with the staff and enjoys the activities. He has actually put on weight so he must enjoy the food.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It is genuinely always a pleasure when your husband comes to stay with us. We look forward to seeing you both again soon.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Choosing a care home can be a very challenging time for families. I'm glad we were able to provide comfort and support to your family and that your mum enjoyed her stay here and received good care. I will pass your comments on to the staff.
We visit each week. My friend seems happy. The staff are 1st class. Can't fault the place.

My wife has improved immensely since coming into Beechwood from hospital. She is not aggressive now and is eating better and putting on weight. She is content and happy due to the care and hands-on approach by the staff.

Woodside unit looks after my husband. One year ago I was given the news that my husband needed full-time nursing care. I was devastated. One year on and I just want to say a big thank you to all the staff in this unit everyone of them outstanding. We had our Christmas party yesterday it was great....
Keep up the great work.
Merry Christmas and a happy new 2019.

Many thanks for your kind words. I always give feedback to the staff in our home when such praise is written about the quality of the support they give, often unseen. And also to you for taking the time to do this. It is never easy when a loved one requires additional support resulting in admission to a care home, but it is our responsibility to make that transition as easy as possible. Merry Christmas to you too.
