Guthrie House Care Home

It was with trepidation that we looked for care for our father. Covid still loomed and we felt fearful. We were overwhelmed by the honesty and openness of the manager and reassured by the pathways in place to protect people. Dad has settled in so well. We can now take him out with safety measures. We can visit regularly and enjoy the banter of this kind acting staff team. The lady in the office is a delight and so is the manager. The carers overwhelm you with their commitment especially being aware of the challenges and concerns not only of dad but just in general. We are so pleased we reached this decision to place dad in Guthrie. Thank you all just isn't enough. By the way, Facebook photos are fab.

Where to begin from the moment we met, we felt confident, happy and reassured that our mum would be cared for. The team just exudes compassion but with humor and they just get it. We will be forever grateful for the kindness, compassion and support to not only mum but also the family. Difficult to adhere in these times, I would like to add that the staff are such helpful nurses.

It is without question that my father-in-law got nearly three more quality years of life due to the care he received at Guthrie House. The staff from management through to nurses, carers, support staff etc were professional and friendly and became a second family to my father-in-law. Thank you for all you did for him.

It was very hard to come to terms mum couldn't look after herself. I needn't have worried. She has settled in with no problems, the staff are so friendly and caring, very respectful of mum's needs. Highlights having a hairdresser on-site, she's there every Monday morning, had a movie afternoon, and painting classes. She's looking forward to when the bingo starts. Loneliness was a problem before she moved in but not now. Thanks to everyone who works here.

It was a scary prospect moving my mum into a home, but we have been so re-assured by the kindness and caring attitudes of the whole team. Thank you so much and you all deserve a medal. Five-star team.

Massive thank you to all the staff at Guthrie House Care Home who have nursed my dear mother, sister, gran and aunty with the utmost care and compassion. We could not have wished or hoped for better care in her final stage of life. The care and support we too received was overwhelming and we are immensely grateful.

We chose Guthrie House because of its location and the fact there were nurses on each floor. We have been delighted with our choice. The staff (all of them) are caring and compassionate and interact in a warm manner with residents and visitors. Their care of my mother has been very comforting to me and my family and Mum is calm, pain-free and settled.

Mum has been in the nursing home since July 2020. This means she did not receive visitors for a large part of the time. It also means we are less familiar with the facilities and staff than is ideal. We would love things to be relaxed further to help improve mum's quality of life. The staff seem very caring and sincere though. Thanks to all.

The staff in this home helped at a very stressful time. My husband came in just a couple of months before lockdown and I was very pleased with his care. It was difficult not being able to visit but the staff were always there to tell you how things were doing with his care. I am looking forward to being allowed back in when it suits us instead of having to arrange a time, but all in all, I am satisfied with my husbands care.

My mother came to the care home March 2021 was made extremely welcome, staff are absolutely lovely and friendly they seem like one big family. They keep the family informed on mums care. Nothing seems to be a problem for them, mum has settled in extremely well. She has been to art classes pictures, etc. Five star plus.

Care in this home is far superior than previous care home. Staff interact with my brother and it is altogether a much happier place. Thank you to the amazing staff.

I would like to take the time the thank Guthrie House as a care home for the outstanding care and attention they have given my mum and all the other residents. It’s hard enough not seeing her for over 10-months, but knowing most of the staff and management, I feel content that she is cared for. The staff are compassionate caregivers. Management keeps relatives informed on all issues. We have regular Zoom meetings. The staff and admin have worked tirelessly throughout this horrible pandemic always with a smile on there faces. They maybe haven’t got the praise they should have from the government, but know I for one am very grateful to you all. Christmas was especially wonderful for the residents and relatives with lovely cards sent and a beautiful Xmas tree in the garden. Staff singing carols to the residents was an absolute joy to watch on social media. Thank from the bottom of my heart. 100% recommendation!

The staff in Guthrie House are dedicated to providing first-class care and understanding, dealing with various individuals with numerous disabilities and conditions, and I would like to thank them all for their outstanding work and care they provide on a daily basis.

Cannot praise the staff enough for the care they have given Mum over the past few years. This last year has been particularly hard going for everyone at the home and we have total admiration for how well staff have managed. We know Mum is well looked after and the cheery and friendly staff contact ourselves regularly with updates. Thank you!

My mother in law has vascular and Alzheimer's dementia. Unfortunately, this meant she needed full-time care. We tried for 6 years to promote her independence in her own home but the time came when this was impossible. Guthrie House has been brilliant from day one. Mum in law is very challenging and the staff are understanding and treat her with respect and dignity even when she is difficult. We are most satisfied as we know she is clean, fed, warm and of course safe. This has given us huge peace of mind, especially as we stay in Glasgow. Guthrie House isn't a palace by any means but the warmth and beating heart are the caring staff who work there. Thank you to all the nurses and carers, we are extremely grateful.

June 2020 - covid 19 - cannot thank the staff and management enough for looking after my mum. Care is 100%, communication is 100%, friendliness and helpfulness is 100%. This care home is such a good standard, and I feel involved. Thank you, Guthrie House. PS, two carers, in particular, are amazing.

New resident, but everything has been very good so far.

The nurses were kind and caring and nice to talk to. My daughter was allowed to visit me at any time.

As a family, we are happy to see our mum taking part in activities and we feel safer knowing that she is being well cared for and the staff are really helpful and try to help her (and us) as much as they do.

An excellent establishment backed by a strong, active management team.
