With a team who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, Abercorn House is a thriving care home with a warm, family feel. In 2024 the home was runner-up in the Caring UK Awards, for the Care Home of the Year Award for the whole of Scotland!
Providing nursing, dementia and palliative care, the team also provide respite care breaks, which are an ideal support for carers looking after loved ones, enabling them to take a short break themselves.
There are so many wonderful activities to enjoy, from pamper sessions with manicures and hand massages, to baking and even a mobile cocktail bar!
There are gentle exercise sessions, games and also sensory sessions in the home’s relaxation room. Abercorn has a hair salon, with a mobile hairdresser visiting the home twice a week.
And mealtimes are a real highlight of the day, with home-cooked Scottish fayre prepared by the chef and home-baking for afternoon tea.
Abercorn has its own minibus for trips into the community, from the local transport museum, to garden centres and cafés. This Halloween the residents carved their own pumpkins, which they hand-picked locally.
The team are passionate about residents having a very active role to play in how their home is run, with resident ambassadors, who are involved in everything from interviewing potential staff, to providing feeding back on everything from the menus to the activities on offer.
Loved ones are welcome at any time, and Abercorn has a lovely garden room, which is a wonderful space for families to celebrate special occasions.
The large gardens are a beautiful place to relax in the summer. They have just had a makeover, with the residents helping with the designs, choosing everything from the layout to the plants and furniture they would like. This summer the residents enjoyed growing their own flowers and vegetables.

The care is exceptional and the staff go above and beyond in everything they do - they work so hard and the qualities of Abercorn outshine they are so dedicated and we appreciate every single staff member in Abercorn.
The chefs are outstanding with the wonderful cuisine they provide, more like a hotel, they are just the best.
I feel so thankful as my Mum gets the best care and attention, love, respect, dignity, and kindness.
The nursing staff are magnificent and outstanding and can't thank them enough for all they do too.

Thank you for your wonderful review for Abercorn, the team will be touched to read your comments about your brother's care.
We are so happy with Abercorn House, and the staff go above and beyond with the residents. The staff always seem happy at work, and we've never noticed any agency staff there, which we feel is a good sign. We are so pleased that we chose Abercorn. Dad seems happy too.

The staff are very friendly, and approachable and put my mum at ease. My mother enjoys the company of the staff, the entertainment and activities suit her needs as she is a sociable person. Very pleased with my decision for my mother to live here.
Thank you for your review, we are so pleased you are happy with your decision to choose Abercorn for your mother, it is certainly a wonderful home with a fantastic team.
The level of care given to Mum is second to none. The staff are a tour de force when it comes to looking after their residents. Communication is excellent. No matter when I go, Mum looks well-dressed and cared for. She is treated with love and respect.

The sensory room is a great idea, new kitchen, wall painting, new furnishings. Work in progress. The only concern is that the car park be upgraded.

The care has declined since COVID and is taking a long time to recover. My mum never gets a visit from the home manager which she did in the past. The cleanliness of her room needs to be improved, the bed is not made properly, tea cups, dinner dishes are left for hours. Dirty pads lying on the toilet floor, the carpet was not hoovered and the curtains were opened unevenly. Her mobility is decreasing and I feel she’s just being left on her own and not given enough physio. She has fallen a few times and lay on the floor for too long and I don’t feel staff take it seriously enough. My mum needs a female career to help with hygiene etc. An instant two weeks ago when my mum didn’t get a bath as there wasn’t enough female staff. That needs managed better and my mum also doesn’t need to be told by the nurse that her daughter reported them for not bathing her. There are a few carers who are excellent and my mum speaks very highly of them but with the size of the home and volume of staff they should all be excellent.
My mum has been in Abercorn House nursing home for five years. She is looked after very well, the staff are good. We have some issues just now but are getting sorted out. Overall it’s a nice friendly, clean home.

My mother-in-law has been treated so well as an individual by all the care staff and management. My interaction with the team there is very positive and I've found everyone to be helpful and cheerful regardless of anything going on in the wider environment, whether it be Covid or having to deal with staff shortages. None of this ever impinges on my family member. In recent times she's been able to get out on excursions and one of the staff took her out shopping and for lunch - what a difference that made to her. The office team are amazing, everyone I've been in contact with couldn't be nicer or more helpful. We live over 400 miles away but each time we visit it's as if we're there every week as the welcome we get is so warm. My mother-in-law is very happy and that's all that matters for us.
My husband has only been in Abercorn House for a few weeks, but I have to say, we as a family, are extremely happy with his care, also the activities provided. I also appreciate the FaceBook page for families as it lets me see what he has been doing.

My husband spent 16 months in Abercorn House Care Home and I have nothing but praise for the manager and staff for their dedication and commitment. Nothing was ever a bother and they cared for my husband with kindness and patience and always treated him with respect. I was also made welcome by cheerful and friendly staff and was able to communicate easily with the home. I’m so glad I chose Abercorn.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words. It is wonderful to hear how happy you are with the care provided to your husband and how welcome you also felt at Abercorn House. Best wishes, Fae.

My dad has positively thrived since entering Abercorn House Care Home last year. He is very happy at the home and that means his family are happy. The home is spotlessly clean and comfortable. The care and nursing staff are lovely and Dad gets on well with them. If I contact the home by phone or email with any queries, or to raise any issues regarding Dads care, I always get a friendly and speedy response. The few issues that I did have during the period while Dad was settling in and adjusting to his new home were resolved very quickly. Overall, I can’t fault the level of care provided.
The staff have been excellent with my father in the light of COVID keeping me updated on his health and needs.

Any time I have been there it seems to be well run and is clean and tidy. I have good relations with the staff who are always happy to talk about my Mum and what's happening with her. I would recommend it.
