Abercorn House Care Home

Mum seems really happy at Abercorn. She moved in during the COVID pandemic but has settled in really well. She's especially enjoyed going to the day room for her exercise and the trip went to Strathclyde Park.

Sadly my mum had to go into a care home as she needed round the clock care. I am and have been my mum's sole carer for many years, I also work full time so I had to make the very difficult decision to let my mum go into a care home which was heartbreaking. My mum was welcomed into Abercorn in Hamilton with open arms as was I. The staff (angels I call them) took care of my mum, settled her in with a cuppa and from then we have never looked back. My mum was bed bound and had to wear a catheter, she was also bed bathed by carers at home. Within a week of my mum being in Abercorn, she was up sitting in a chair every day, fully dressed and showered and her catheter removed as she was now being taken to the toilet. Simple duties the carers at home couldn't seem to manage! I think every member of the staff at Abercorn are angels and heroes. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I am forever in their debt. Thank you, angels.

My friend had viewed Abercorn and told me she’d been round several and she liked the feeling of the place. She was right, I liked it right away. My mum’s been a resident in Abercorn for almost one year now and I’ve been happy with her care. The situation we all found ourselves in this year has been so stressful and life-changing, even more so not being able to see our mum every day. However, she settled in really well and the staff had her in a great routine after a short amount of time. We were fortunate that she was in for a couple of months before the lockdown, enabling us to see her settle. She was like a new woman compared to what she was like in hospital. It’s a very well managed home, with friendly helpful, honest staff and the food is very good too. I read a review before my mum went in and the only fault one lady had was that the socks get muddled up from time to time and I thought, well I can live with that. I fully trust them to care for my beloved Mum and best friend!

The Care team at Abercorn are fantastic, they will go above and beyond to make a difference. These guys are real heroes. Over the last few months, it has been difficult visiting because of the restrictions put in place by the government but I can say the staff have done everything possible to allow visits to continue with total care and safety. I just want to thank them all and wish them a merry Christmas.

These are the most caring, friendly and trustworthy people I have come across. Do lots of activities with the residents and communication is excellent. They have done a wonderful job recently, especially during this covid-19 pandemic. I cannot commend them enough.

The management make me feel included, are always available and communicate well, verbally and through newsletters.

P.S. when can we get back into see our mum, it's killing us.

My dad was in Abercorn for respite and the staff are fantastic and we can't thank them enough for all that they did for us. Every one of them from management to the carers were amazing and they go above and beyond for their residents. They got my dad back on his feet and I honestly don't know what we would have done without them. I would just want to thank them all for everything they did for us. Thank you.

The staff in Abercorn are caring, friendly and very accommodating. The care manager is very accommodating, very approachable and they all loved my dad and gave him the best of care. He settled in the home so well. I would recommend this care home and the staff 100%.

I would recommend this home to family and friends as I feel the care given was excellent.

Every time I went in to visit my dad, the staff were always very friendly and welcoming. They always treated my dad with respect and my dad always looked very comfortable around the staff. They always kept him smiling.

I find Abercorn House a good care home. I've never had any problems with my mother's stay in this home.

In recent years with new management, the home is improving and hopefully will continue this way.

Delighted with Mum's care, staff very good.

The care home itself is lovely and always fresh and clean.

The staff are really good to Mum and all of the other residents. They will get the doctor when needed and nurses are always about. Staff are very friendly with visitors and let us know all that is going on, especially how good Mum is eating and drinking.

All of the above is a result of good new management and a serious level of capital investment.

I would like to thank all staff in Abercorn for their support while my mum was there and how safe a welcome they made her. She was only there a week because I was waiting on somewhere near home, such a shame it was to far for us to travel. The manager and nurse were so nice and to be honest it’s the happiest I have ever seen my mum. So sad to leave. I would strongly recommend this place, very homely.

Overall a great place.

The staff are very attentive to my aunt's needs and wants.

She is settled and feels safe. The nurses and other medical staff are very good and proactive.

I could highly recommend this care home to anyone. The management are very approachable and helpful.
