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.

I am delighted with the care provided to my mother since she arrived at the home. The staff are always smiling and this reflects the excellent tone from the management in the care home. I could not have picked a better environment for my mother's care.

Thank you to all the staff at Forefaulds.

It is hard that our dad is in a home, but I can’t imagine a better one than Forefaulds.
My wife has been a resident in Forefaulds since August 2022 she has received excellent care ever since. The carers and management have given her superb attention in difficult circumstances I would strongly recommend this care home to anyone looking for one

Forefaulds Care Home went above and beyond accommodating a few family members staying with my mum during her final days. She was there for about 19 months and overall her care was first-class. The staff always appeared to really care for Mum as a person despite her Alzheimer’s which made looking...
Overall the staff were friendly and caring and the improvements made after the Covid challenges were fantastic. Our experience staying with Mum in her final hours was just overwhelming but Forefaulds were supportive every step of the way.
My wife has been a resident since August and she has had the best care I could ask for, although she is no longer with me I know she is in the best capable hands and I know I won't have to worry about her wellbeing.

My mum moved into Forefaulds in August, and the standard of care has been excellent. The enthusiasm and kindness of the staff are remarkable. Managers lead a dedicated team of staff who have created a welcoming, caring home for residents and their visiting relatives.

It is pleasing to see that one of my best friends of more than 60 years is now being looked after by a competent team of dedicated staff there at Forefaulds. He was the Best Man at my wedding 51 years ago, and although the course of life has changed so much, it's a great relief to know that you there are prepared to sacrifice so much of yourselves to give my friend, and his family, the re-assurance that they all need at this time in his life. I'm sure every resident there has the same care. The Care Home of Forefaulds has that professional approach which is pretty obvious as soon as one enters the building. Keep your standard flying high, and many thanks again.
Thank you so much for such a heart-warming review. It's so lovely to hear such kind words about our team and to know how pleased you are with the support and care given to your friend. Thank you so much. Best wishes, Fae
I and all my family were delighted and indeed overwhelmed by the care that mum received at Forefaulds. Mum was so lovingly cared for by all of the staff. Bless you all. It must also be noted that when we often visited mum the welcome that we all received from every member of the Forefauld's staff,...
God Bless from us all.
Thank you so much for this outstanding and heart-warming review. It's so lovely to read how happy you were with the care provided not only to your mum, but your whole family during a difficult time. The team will be so thrilled with this review so I will be sure to pass it on. Thank you so much, best wishes, Fae
The home in which my mother was placed due to myself no longer being able to provide her care has done and continues to do an amazing job on a one-to-one basis and seeing the smile on my mum's face when I visit is a testament to all the staff and management.

When my mum fell ill, we had no choice but to put my dad in for respite. Mum's recovery took longer than anticipated. Having never needed a care home before, we were naturally apprehensive. Our fears were put to rest immediately on arrival. The care and attention the residents are given here is second to none. I would have no hesitation in using this home again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home - it is wonderful to hear how happy you are with the respite care provided to your mum at Forefaulds. Best wishes.
A great care home, with great staff. My mother receives fabulous care!

My mother-in-law is a resident at Forefaulds Care Home in East Kilbride. She is very happy and settled. The staff are nothing but helpful. The residents interact daily with staff and residents participating in a number of activities. Singing, quizzes and making Easter bonnets. Getting out for a few hours after being in locked down was a great experience for those who got to attend. Keep up the good work.
My dad hasn't been in the home that long but the time he has been there the staff have been really nice and very welcoming always pleasant when I'm visiting and if you have any worries about anything they are happy to listen.

I joined Sanctuary Care in October 2021 as a Team Leader at Forefaulds. I was then promoted to Deputy Manager, and in May 2024, I was honoured to step into the role of Home Manager.

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.
