  • Collisdene Care Centre, Strathaven
Welcome to Collisdene Care Centre, nestled in the picturesque town of Strathaven, surrounded by landscaped gardens and scenic rural views. The three separate houses offer warm and welcoming environments where residents receive exceptional care tailored to their individual needs.

Collisdene understands the importance of creating a comfortable and homely atmosphere for residents. The three separate houses designed to meet the diverse needs of residents. The Learning Disabilities houses provide specialised care and support for adults with learning difficulties, while the setting also offers a male-only house. Each house is staffed by dedicated, multi-skilled nursing teams who prioritise a person-centred approach, ensuring that every resident feels valued and supported.

The spaces include lounges and dining rooms in all houses, with a sensory room available in the Learning Disabilities house to offer residents a tranquil and calming environment. The majority of single occupancy bedrooms feature ensuite facilities and are spread across two floors, with easy access via a passenger lift.

Safety and peace of mind are paramount at Collisdene, which is why they've equipped all client rooms and communal areas with a call bell system for quick and easy staff assistance. The lovely patio area and secure garden provide residents with the perfect spot to relax, socialise with visitors, or indulge in a spot of gardening.

The team believes in promoting stimulation and wellbeing for residents, and the dedicated Activities Organiser curates a varied and extensive weekly activities program. From outings to in-house activities, there's always something exciting happening at Collisdene.

The staff at Collisdene are very kind and caring to the residents, and this is the most important factor for me. It would be good to have a covid safe indoor space to visits during the winter months. My mother is 92, has advanced dementia, so outside in the car park is not a good place to meet.

Job Title: Care Home Manager

A warm welcome to our three care units in the historic market town of Strathaven.


At Collisdene we have three different houses, helping us to support a wide range of client needs in small group settings.


Castle View is the largest house at Collisdene, catering for those with learning disabilities who have complex nursing needs.


Park View is designed to support our more able residents with learning disability needs. The smaller of our three houses, it is perfect for those who may benefit from a quieter, more relaxed environment.


Avon House offers varying levels of support for male clients specifically with emotional and behavioural challenges.


With a highly trained and dedicated team, our focus is on supporting all of our residents to achieve the maximum independent lifestyle possible.


For me, the thing that stands out about Castle View, Park View and Avon House is their affinity with the local community and vice-versa. Under normal circumstances, many of our residents would be out and about going bowling, going to the cinema, going for meals and attending local groups. We would also get involved in local events and with local charities in the town regularly.


During the coronavirus pandemic, the team here have worked hard to innovate using technology to maintain our community links and residents’ active lifestyles virtually instead.


We pride ourselves on providing a real family environment in all three of our houses, with some members of our team and residents having been a part of the family for over 20 years. Our staff are proactive, engage with our residents wonderfully and find working here incredibly rewarding, as do I!


I would love to help you with your search for care and answer any questions you may have.
