Darnley Court Care Home, part of HC-One, offers expert nursing and specialist dementia care in Glasgow within a calm, homely environment. Every resident is supported as an individual, with care shaped around who they are - not just their condition.
The home is proud to host the Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC), one of Scotland’s leading environments for people living with dementia. Developed alongside Professor Graeme Stokes, this unique community fills a real gap in specialist dementia support, providing personalised, therapeutic care in a safe, comfortable setting.
At Darnley Court, time is taken to understand the person behind the diagnosis - their story, routines, preferences, and what matters most to them. Using tools like the Behavioural Assessment Tool (BAT), the team identifies triggers and designs meaningful care plans to enhance each resident’s wellbeing.
Residents benefit from a full team approach, including Dementia Care Managers, Assistant Psychologists, and highly trained colleagues who share a genuine passion for helping others live fulfilling lives.
As part of a larger care community, Darnley Court offers seamless step-down pathways, allowing residents to move into a more standard care setting as their needs change, all within the same home.
Families choose Darnley Court for its person-centred ethos, skilled team, and welcoming atmosphere - a place where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and kindness.

I have chatted with activity staff and they seem to be managing quite a few of these regularly.
I always felt during my visits that the staff all work very hard and always seem to be busy, but never too busy to keep the residents happy.
A big thumbs up from me.
All staff at Darnley Court are very helpful, patient and kind. They work hard to keep things going smoothly. Very impressed that the Covid19 virus has, so far, not got into Darnley Court. Thank you and very well done to all the staff.

I have been looked after very well for the time I have been here in the care home. Nurses are hard workers and food is good. My wounds and bandages were changed at the correct times and days, deep baths were available when needed and a special mattress for my back was supplied. Security was also good through the night and morning.
The staff are very kind and helpful. I have had no problems with my stay.

My Dad was in here temporary. On the day he moved home; his expensive jacket went missing. There was no list of his possessions done. He has dementia. In his new care home; they listed all his possessions. Professional.

We are very sorry that your Father’s jacket went missing in May 2019, on the day he left he moved to a permanent home. At the time it was raised, we contacted his new home to ask them to look for it as we could clearly recall that he was wearing the jacket as he left. However, you raised a very...
We are very sorry that your Father’s jacket went missing in May 2019, on the day he left he moved to a permanent home. At the time it was raised, we contacted his new home to ask them to look for it as we could clearly recall that he was wearing the jacket as he left. However, you raised a very good point about property lists, and since then we do complete these on discharge as well as on admission.
I am absolutely furious, my gran came into this home on the 27th of December and passed away yesterday the 17th of January. From the day she entered she was treated terribly. She is extremely deaf and we were told to keep our voices down and to stop shouting, her clothes had all disappeared, she...
Do not recommend this place at all. The dementia manager obviously does not know what’s going on, we were called at least four times in the duration of her stay to be told she had fallen - four times - absolute disgrace.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and I am very sorry that you felt the care your Gran received was below standard. I have investigated the issues you have raised and can reassure you that the bruising was present on admission. The missing clothes were located and labelled, these...
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and I am very sorry that you felt the care your Gran received was below standard. I have investigated the issues you have raised and can reassure you that the bruising was present on admission. The missing clothes were located and labelled, these had been misplaced due to not being labelled before going to the laundry. Prior to admission, your Gran was assessed as a high falls risk but bed rails would not be appropriate, she did roll from bed on three occasions without injury and family were contacted as on admission you requested to be informed of any changes to care at any time of the day or night. Staff found that your Gran responded better if they spoke into her ear and she would become distressed with raised voices and I can confirm that a nurse did ask you to stop shouting.
I visit once or twice a year when I come to Glasgow. Over the years I continue to admire the care and support given to my aunt. She is always clean and tidy and her hair done. Staff are so courteous and helpful and attentive to her. The environment feels welcoming.

The staff and management were excellent, always available if needed and my Mum's dietary needs were also taken care of.
I couldn't have gotten through my Mum's final hours without the home manager.
I would recommend Darnley Court to anyone looking to for a safe and comfortable place for their loved ones.
My sister was a resident for only 5 weeks and received excellent end of life care. I do not have any negative comments to make. She received excellent person-centred care, dignity and respect from all nursing staff and others for which I will always be truly grateful.

This is a wonderful care home and there is a great atmosphere all around. All staff are happy to help. The manager is wonderful and you can tell she takes great pride in her care home. The manager is also very hands-on and is happy to help.

From the moment we came the care has been outstanding and very happy as a family with our decision to come to Darnley. The staff are so helpful and friendly and can’t do enough for us. The management team are always around and I was very reassured to see them around in the evenings and weekends as well. The office staff always have a warm welcome and the kitchen have exceeded in providing a specialised diet needed where other places we visited told us we would need to buy things ourself. The company should be very proud of the team in this home.
My mum came in for respite and ended up staying. We are over the moon with the care and I can now relax at night knowing Mum is safe and well looked after. I can now get back to a mum/daughter relationship after being her carer which is great. Thanks to all the staff.

I visit my friend every week and she loves it here. I never thought that I would say that. She even helps in the hairdresser throughout the day to keep her busy and she learned how to do french plaits. Who says you are too old to learn new things. It's a great home. The new management team are...

Everyone, nursing staff, caregivers, kitchen staff and domestic staff are very approachable. Senior staff keep me informed of any changes to his health or care plan.
It is good that they have an optician, dentist, hairdresser and a podiatrist visit the unit. For some of the residents, it may be better to have the religious services more frequently.
