With a team devoted to enriching the lives of their residents, Forefaulds, which is rated Good by the Care Inspectorate (October 2024), is a home with a warm, family feel.
One of Forefauld's two activities coordinators recently won the Newcomer of the Year Award in the National Care Awards 2023. Together they organise so many incredible group and individual activities for the residents.
There are trips to churches they have visited all their lives and pamper sessions with nail painting, trips out shopping and to the local park, Zumba, baking, pub lunches and so much more.
The community are embraced into life in the home, with a local Girls Brigade who sing for the residents, musicians and entertainers, and regular visits from nursery children. The local church also run regular services inside the home. And there are lots of animal visits, from a therapy dog to Shetland ponies!
Forefaulds also has a hair salon, so residents can enjoy regular appointments with a mobile hairdresser, as well as a wonderful community barber who gives the gents a trim and a shave.
The residents have an active role to play in how their home is run. This summer they have been growing their own fruit and vegetables in the home’s courtyard gardens.
The home’s maintenance operative devotes time to spend with some of the gents, who like to help him on his rounds or doing a spot of painting, as they would have done in their own homes before moving to Forefaulds, giving them such a sense of purpose.
Forefaulds has welcoming lounges to relax in, and the residents enjoy delicious home-cooked food in the dining rooms, with freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea, prepared by the two chefs.
The home has just opened its own café area, a lovely place to spend time with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. This area can also be used for families to host private celebrations.

After visiting and comparing several residential care homes in the area, we chose Fourfaulds Nursing Home in East Kilbride for my dad, and we haven't regretted that decision.
One of the biggest differences we noticed was the staffing levels. Fourfaulds had noticeably more staff on duty than the other homes we visited, which gave us confidence that residents would receive the time, attention and care they deserve. That was a major factor in our choice.
My dad is looked after extremely well, and it gives our family great peace of mind knowing he is safe, comfortable and treated with dignity and respect. Every member of staff we have met has been kind, caring and approachable. They are always happy to answer questions, keep us updated and make us feel welcome whenever we visit.
The home is clean, well maintained and has a warm, friendly atmosphere. It is clear that the staff genuinely care about the residents and work hard to ensure they are happy and well looked after.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for the outstanding care and support they provide. The kindness, compassion, and respect they show every resident is truly exceptional. It is reassuring to know that our loved one is cared for with such dignity, patience, and genuine warmth.

I recently arranged a respite stay for my husband Christopher, back in February and for a week beginning of April, making the decision to entrust your partner into the care of others is overwhelming, mixed emotions of worry, guilt and uncertainty, especially when it's someone who means so much to you, that's why this recent respite stay meant more to me than just a short break, it was about placing our trust in others during a very emotional time, from meeting both Pauline and Katy they showed such genuine warmth and understanding, they saw a person and they treated him with kindness, dignity and patience, and made all the difference to us as a family, helping to ease what is a very difficult step in our journey. Throughout his stay we felt reassured that not only was he safe, he was truly cared for and we are deeply grateful to all the staff for the care, kindness shown and more importantly, this experience has also helped make the transition to full time care feel less daunting
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We're honoured that you trusted us during such an emotional time and pleased to hear how supported and reassured you felt. Knowing this experience helped ease the transition to full time care means a great deal to our team.

Kirsty has been part of the team at Forefaulds for four and a half years, working as a Lifestyle and Wellbeing Coordinator and bringing plenty of creativity, energy and imagination to life at the home.
Before beginning her career in care, Kirsty worked as a children’s entertainer. During six pantomime seasons, she had the opportunity to perform in care homes, and it was through these visits that she first discovered the role of an Activities Coordinator. She immediately knew it was something she wanted to pursue, recognising that many of the skills she already had could help her bring enjoyment and meaningful experiences to people living in a care home.
Kirsty joined Forefaulds in November 2021 and particularly values the supportive network she has found at Sanctuary Care, from colleagues within the home through to regional and head office teams.
For Kirsty, the residents at Forefaulds have become like a second family. One of the most rewarding parts of her role is seeing the joy and happiness that activities and events can bring, as well as creating opportunities for residents and their loved ones to spend quality time together through family events.
Her passion and commitment were recognised nationally in 2023 when she won Care Newcomer of the Year at the National Care Awards. Another memorable career highlight was welcoming the BBC to Forefaulds to film its programme Scotland Sings.
Outside of work, Kirsty is equally creative. Her proudest achievement is her seven-year-old daughter, and in her spare time she performs with a theatre group at the Village Theatre in East Kilbride. She is also a face painter!
When it comes to choosing a care home for someone you love, Kirsty’s advice is simple: visit in person and get a real feel for the home. She also recommends looking at the activities on offer and reading reviews from families of current residents to understand what life at the home is really like.
As one of our care assistants, Hero loves being a part of the team at Forefaulds, working with his wonderful colleagues.
After working at Forefaulds for over a decade, Jane loves spending time with all of our residents and finds getting to know them and looking after them so very rewarding.
