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.

New Management, permanent staff has been significant in this and would like to Thankyou each and everyone one of you for caring for my mum, she feels safe which is the main thing.

It is visible that Forefaulds is trying to recruit staff in order to look after our loved ones. The home is dated but vast improvements have been made. The use of social media allows the family to keep updated on the activities within the home and gives us some reassurance that my wife is interacting with others. (Something that was very much missing during lockdown).

Mum has been resident in Forefaulds for just over three years. We can’t thank the staff enough for their time, care and attention they give to mum. Everything from one to one time, group activities, social time, health and beauty experiences. Mum is so precious to us, so knowing that she’s in the best hands is a blessing. Thank you, everyone.

This care home appears to be constantly having Covid which means I cannot visit my Mum. Now been told she has Covid which has come from a Carer! This is not acceptable and since Sanctuary has taken over the home has gone downhill and I will be posting on social media about my issues with them plus the fact they only received three from the Care Quality Commission. They are reduced to agency nurses/carers who are not there long enough to get to know their loved ones. So to end my story they are a disgrace and I will certainly post any grievances I have ever had on social media.
Since July 2019 when my wife entered, I have no complaints either of the standard of care or the courtesy. Cooperation and support I have received from the administration to the care staff is good. I have found their conduct exemplary and I thank them.

Staff are very knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of the residents. I am always kept informed of any procedure changes and of any issues that may arise with my husband. Forefaulds is very comfortable, spacious and clean.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words. It is so appreciated. Best wishes.
Under normal conditions, this home is well run. It is difficult to comment when I am unable to visit due to Covid. I would recommend all the staff top to bottom for their hard work and dedication and look forward to seeing them and their smiling faces.

My mum went into the home in October after a bad fall. This was an extremely difficult decision and a heartbreaking one. However, the staff have shown her nothing but love and kindness and she is being well looked after. Covid restrictions make the situation very difficult at times but we are coping. The staff deserve a medal for their dedication. My mum is eating better and taking part in activities which is encouraging. Hopefully, there will be light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine and we can actually get in to see her. Thanks to everyone caring for her.
Thank you so much for your kind words, especially at this difficult time. Our team will really appreciate them. Best wishes.
Very positive with very good, staff communication. Staff always helpful and willing to deal with any issue that arises.

I am very happy with the care my mum receives. The staff are only too happy to assist with any of my requests. They have performed outstandingly during the pandemic. Taken the correct steps to ensure our loves ones are safe and cared for. The manager only took over before the pandemic and she appears to have risen to the challenge.

It was a heartbreaking decision for my family when we had to put Mum into care, but from day one, the nurses and care staff at Forefaulds were sympathetic and supportive. When visiting Mum, we were comforted by how attentive and kind everyone was. Since this awful pandemic, we have been unable to visit, but the staff have kept us well informed and reassured that Mum was healthy and happy. Now with the easing of lockdown, I have been able to visit and was impressed with the safety procedure put in place to protect her. My family and I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Forefaulds.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words. The decision to move a loved one into care is often difficult, so it is good to hear you've had the reassurance of her good health throughout all of this. The team will really appreciate your review. Best wishes.

My mother has been a resident for over three years. And I fully appreciate the continued excellent standard of care that she receives. All the staff members are very professional, whilst also having a nice friendly manner, giving Forefaulds a warm and welcoming feel. My mother's room is comfortable and whilst she now spends more time in the lounge she still comments that she likes her room. The activities and entertainment are provided for those who wish to participate.
Dear Louise, thank you for your lovely words and feedback. I will be sure to pass this onto the team. Best wishes, Fae

Thank you so much for writing such a lovely review Janet, we really appreciate your kind words. Our deepest sympathies go to you and your family. Kind regards, Kate Yates.
This has been a great help to me with my wife being in this home. She is much happier and I can go home and sleep all night as the staff are good to her and I know she is very well looked after.

I find the staff working hard to look after residents. Know residents and family members well. Home is being smartened up but some areas are a bit tired. Overall very happy.

My dad was a resident at Forefaulds for a year and a half. After a bad experience at the first care home dad was in, the family were extremely wary and nervous when dad moved to Forefaulds. Our fears were soon forgotten and dad settled in very well. The staff were fantastic with dad and with all the family. The care he received was second to none and the support given to the family was amazing and gave us real peace of mind. Staff and residents became our extended family and I would recommend Forefaulds to anyone who has to choose a care home for a member of their family.

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.
