Over all time Inchinnan Care Home has 36 reviews.
Dad moved into care a year ago. As he wasn't able to live independently any more. It has been an adjustment for us all. Management + staff have been fantastic helping dad + family settle + adjust to a new way of living. They have taken time to learn little personal details and interests of dads, bringing a smile to his face daily. He loves the interaction and kindness of staff in home. The clinical staff acted swiftly when dad was admitted to hospital. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured a speedy recovery. Regular outings + activities great for residents wellbeing
The home and staff have been outstanding with mum and us. They've become like family to all of us since her admission. Her care is exemplary, she's stimulated with the activities they provide and they give a personal touch to everything they do with her. They've taken the time to get to know mum personally, which is what makes them better at what they do. We have been kept abreast all the time with what's happening to mum and we visit 5 times a week and are made welcome every time. The fob we are given allows us access whenever we want which is great and the staff are always friendly and on hand if we need advice or guidance with mum. I cannot tell you how tired, anxious and stressed we were when a place became available at Inchinnan, and they immediately lifted that burden from us and we were able to become mums children again. It's been a relief and a priveledge to work with them.
We are so happy with the care provided to mum. Staff are so kind and attentive but also professional with any needs mum has medically dealt with quickly and thoroughly. The home is a genuine team effort, everyone works together to get to know mum, could not be a better example of person centred approach. We could not be happier and would wholeheartedly recommend Inchinnan Care Home highly enough.
The care my mother in law has received from Inchinnan Care Home has been superb. From the minute she entered the home all the staff have been, so welcoming. They have looked after her every need with kindness, while at the same time giving her amazing professional care. I would highly recommend Inchinnan Care Home. They are in my experience the best.
Thank you for your very kind review. The staff at Inchinnan are excellent and dedicated to the people who are in need of care in the most vulnerable stage of their life. With the support of a loving attentive we can achieve the very best.
I am very happy with the care provided since my grandmother moved in. Not only have the staff shown support and care for her, but they have ensured our family has felt welcome and supported through a difficult time. It has made my grandmother able to socialise and experience activities she would not have been able to do if still living at home.
Thank you so much for the review. I know the staff will be very appreciative of it. They do an amazing job at Inchinnan, and we try to look for ways to get better all the time. I'll pass on this review to staff, but I can't thank you enough for your kind words.
Impossible to manage on her own, after a hip operation, mum moved into Inchinnan Care Home, in June 2024. She was welcomed with open arms. It took mum two weeks to get used to her new surroundings. Very much a loner, after over 20 years on her own, she was set in her ways. However, once settled, mum came out of her shell and joined into the many activities offered at the home.
In Jan "25 mum's illness became worse and was sent to A&E with low oxygen levels. After time in hospital it was evident her treatment was not working. The staff asked for mum to return to the home, so they could look after her personal needs. They got her room ready for her return. Everything was so warm and cosy, after the stark hospital room. There was low music playing in the back ground. Mum was visibly happy to be back to her own surroundings. Mum passed away on 4th January. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just right for mum right to the end. I appreciate everything they have done.
Thank you so much for the review. Your mum will be missed from the home but hopefully, you'll come back in and see us from time to time. Again can't thank you enough for the Review, I know the staff very much appreciate this:
Delighted with the very high standard of care and compassion displayed towards my mum. She is treated like a Queen and all her needs are catered for 24/7. The cleanliness cannot be surpassed. The space is open and welcoming. Staff are fantastic. As a senior clinical health professional myself, I could not fault any aspect of my mum's care. I return to Australia knowing she is safe, comfortable and most of all cared for like a family member. Cannot thank the staff at Littleinch Care Home enough.
Thank you so much for the review, It does mean a lot to the staff team as they work so hard to achieve the best standards for the home. Also thank you for calling to visit us in the office. When you back over nip in for a coffee and a catch up would be good to see you again
My sister is very well looked after. The staff are very caring it is evident they work to a high standard.
Thank you so much for the review, The home has a really good structure in place now for activities and hopefully you'll see the difference in this moving forward. Can't thank you enough for the review
My mum has been in this home for about 2 years. During this time there have been many changes in staff. Hopefully, the team who are currently in position will help to make this home a stimulating caring environment for all residents as unfortunately, the main thing lacking at the moment is stimulation for the residents.
Thank you so much for the review, The staff work so hard to make sure the residents are all looked after and cared for. I know it means a lot to the team when recognised for all the hard work they do.
Great care home. They look after my wife really well. The staff are all lovely and very accommodating to me and my family.
I wouldn't recommend this care home. When the lounge was crowded and there were no vacant chairs in the lounge, I found my mother very uncomfortable sitting in a wheelchair with no headrest for a nap. My mother was always really thirsty when I visited. I don't think she was given enough to drink and she didn't have swallowing issues at that time. A year later, my mother became bedridden, I visited her for hours nearly every day. When I hand-fed my mother, I found the food low quality and not appetising. My mother had dementia and swallowing issues and needed smaller and more frequent snacks but these were never on offer because the kitchen was closed after meal times. My mother liked to drink a little and often but the staff never had time to offer my mother fluids in between teatime and meals. When I asked about my mother's 'food and fluid intake', I noticed at times it wasn't always recorded. I had to frequently prompt staff to reposition my bedridden mother due to a pressure sore.
As a family, our journey with our parents, both of them are in Inchinnan Care Home, has been a rollercoaster of emotions. The staff are amazing, they have taken the stress from us and taken exceptional care of our mum and dad. Regular updates, phone calls, photos and videos have been a lifesaver for us. When we walked through the front door at Littleinch we knew Mum and Dad would be safe and cared for. A long journey is still ahead but we feel very supported.
My mother has only been in the home since the end of March 2023 and has settled in well. I feel that she is safe and cared for. She enjoys the company and the freedom for visitors to come and go. When the family selected Inchinnan Care Home it was in the knowledge that the new environment for residents in line with their own ambitions and the needs of the care inspectorate. The management has had setbacks and their ambitions for this home continue to need work along with residents' regular stimulation.
I have no adverse comments.
A huge thank you to every member of the team here who have their hearts in the right places. 10/10 from us.
My mother has come on leaps and bounds. Since my mum has come here to stay I am well pleased that my mum has great care.
My mother-in-law has just moved into the care home and so far we have been very impressed. Staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and all interactions with residents and staff we have witnessed are very caring. The reception area, dining room and lounges are bright and clean. Bedroom is spacious and clean. My mother-in-law has settled in very well and looks like she is being well cared for.
Thank you for your review of Inchinnan Care Home. It's a tough decision coming into care and accepting such a major life change. Our aim is to make that change as reassuring as possible by making care and comfort a priority. It's a new chapter in life and opens up opportunities to meet other people...
Due to Covid-19 Dad and I have not been able to view for ourselves her room, and the facilities, so can't rate these fully, however from what I've seen it's a very comfortable, spacious, attractive environment. On Facebook, it is heartening to see the residents participating in different activities and looking relaxed and happy.
I believe Mum is more engaged now because of the stimulation of more company, and more going on. I've been very impressed with the warmth and kindness of the staff who are looking after Mum so well, they have set my mind at ease both in person and if I've rung to ask about how she is. Staff clearly know the residents as individuals, providing families with lots of detailed information and insight about their loved one, and reassurance.
Thank you for your review which will be relayed to our staff. They work extremely hard to ensure the comfort and care of our residents is to a very high personal standard. It is therefore a pleasure to read such a positive review. Being on the front line of care is hard, but our staff also...
On 17th December he was admitted temporarily to Littleinch. Immediately I was impressed with the professionalism, friendliness and manners of all the staff I dealt with. I have seen a big difference in his behaviour and demeanour.
He is mixing well with staff and other residents. I was so pleased with Littleinch that I requested his stay be made permanent. I was very happy when this was accepted. I would recommend Littleinch to anyone who is looking to place a loved one in a care home.
Thank you for your kind review. Dementia is a very cruel disease. The staff at Inchinnan are compassionate, caring and understand the distress this disease can cause the individual and their family and friends, the people who love them most. Your review is gracefully acknowledged.
My mother was moved to Inchinnan Care Home on the 25th January from sheltered housing due to her decreased condition, on arrival at Inchinnan we were met with two members of staff who were very friendly and made my mum feel at ease very quickly. This also made myself and my wife feel a lot better too, while one of the staff took my mum's details another staff member spoke to my mum and made her feel welcomed and eased her fears about moving to a new home. While I can't really comment much more about the home itself due to current circumstances what I can say is on first impression this is a very well run home with caring staff and I feel my mum will be very happy here.
Thank you for your review. The staff at Inchinnan are simply the best and your review is welcome. It is difficult for everyone in the middle of this serious pandemic but I have to say that everyone at Inchinnan Care Home has worked selflessly for the benefit of our vulnerable residents.
