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.

I enjoyed my stay. I was there for respite as my family, which I live with, were going on holiday. I enjoyed chatting with the other residents and staff. I would stay again.
