My mum is well looked after, from personal care to getting her hair cut and styled regularly.
I've recommend the home to my neighbour. His sister is now a resident.

Despite this most terrible of times (during Covid) for both staff and residents of Cardonald Care Home, my experience has always been that the nurses, care assistants, kitchen and cleaning and other support workers have always tried to do their best for my mum, management has been responsive to any concerns raised. The care staff have been caring and attentive to my mum's needs and staff have also been supportive of visitors - with kind words at difficult times.

My wife has had the best care possible from the staff at Cardonald Care Home. The home is beautiful and I know my wife is getting the best possible care to make her comfortable.

I have nothing but good things to say about Cardonald Care Home. The staff are amazing and have cared for my mum like she is one of their own family.
Thank you Diane for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience of our home. We are pleased to learn it has been so positive and look forward to seeing you again soon. Take care.
Mum has been cared for beyond our expectations - with care and compassion, humour and dignity. We cannot praise the staff highly enough - particularly two members of staff. All the staff have treated Mum with the utmost care and compassion.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback about our home. We are pleased to hear that your experience has been positive and appreciate all of your kind comments about our team. We hope to see you again soon.
I live in Ireland and knowing this the staff have been kind and understanding and flexible over my visits although Covid has made it difficult. Mum has been well cared for in a clean, warm and comfortable environment. The staff appear to be very caring towards her and she has even put on weight that was much needed. Thanks to all of you in mum’s twilight years.
The staff are very helpful and I am always happy with the level of care my gran receives.
I am always able to visit at the times I want to.
The staff are friendly and welcoming and are happy to give me information regarding my gran whenever needed.
Cardonald Care Home takes great care of our mum. The staff are always helpful and friendly. We are very pleased with the high standard of care - particularly throughout the pandemic, which has been very stressful for all of us. However, we take comfort from the fact that she has been kept so safe and well looked after. Staff should be commended for their hard work and kindness, always ensuring the care home is warm and inviting.
Down to earth, caring staff. Always doing the small things that make a difference. Always welcoming.
Happy with everything that Cardonald Care Home does for the care of my mum. Thank you.
Lockdown has had an effect on her wellbeing but the staff have coped admirably, with patience and love, qualities that show that they are working with the residents as individuals and not patients like in a hospital setting.
I find the care home and staff very kind and caring to my dad and myself. The home is very clean and well laid out. I do not have anything bad to say about the care home or it's staff. Dad has settled very well and is happy and well looked after and that's all that matters to me.
All staff at the care home are wonderful and very caring and attentive to my gran. They go above and beyond with activities and what they do with them. All the girls have been great with my gran.
My mum has been in Cardonald for over two years now. Still has her off days of staying in the home, but overall has settled. Staff are excellent, in not for them, home would be entirely different. Would be good if rooms were upgraded to include a shower facility. I know this comes down to money. Overall, Cardonald is a very good home.
From the time my mother had to move into full-time nursing care, due to dementia, I have found Cardonald nursing home has provided a warm and welcoming environment for her, and reassurance through ongoing communication with staff that we had made the right choice. All of my mother's needs are attended to and the challenges of her condition dealt with respect. Physical, medical and emotional needs are met both day and night and the challenges of Covid negated.
On my mother arriving in the care home I couldn't have been more welcomed, the standard of care is highly noticeable and of an extremely high quality. I can't fault this care home on any level, the staff are very friendly, caring and all the girls I can't thank enough for the loving care of my mum.
Staff always friendly and cheerful, extremely helpful at all times. Phoning, FaceTime and Zoom meetings are run with good nature.
Well done to all the staff.
Home have kept good communication throughout.
I have been visiting this home for some years now. At the beginning, I was not impressed at all. However, in recent times, I have seen a much better standard of care for my friend. Her relations are not local, so she does not get many visitors. There also is a much better atmosphere in the home. My friend is a quiet person who doesn't generally like too much attention. She now seems much more settled and at ease in the home.
I am confident that my mum is receiving the best of care at these hard times. Relatives are always updated about Mum's care, health and well-being this, in turn, gives family outside peace of mind at these hard times. Communication is very important.
Thank you, Isabella, for letting us know how we are doing at Cardonald Care Home. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how we are doing.
