Thank you for your comments. Residents settle quickly at our care home, it's something we work hard towards. Hope you like the improvements we have made to a lot of areas of our home including the garden, with its new planters and baskets.
My Mum was taken into care at Lornebank in Oct 2022. In the 3 and a half years, we have been very happy with her care and the support she was given. All the staff provided first class service and I always felt that my Mum was in good hands. In her last month of care, she was unable to sit up...
I really admire the efforts of the care staff and the management team - I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to my family and friends. Regards
Emma

First of all, please accept our sincere condolence and all our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are so grateful for your kind words which means a lot to our staff team. I am glad to hear that staff did everything right to support mum during her last few days at Lornebank. Your comments with all the above points mentioned is simply what we want everyone to hear and experience. Thank you so much once again.
Mum has been in Montrose Gardens since June 2025. Settled in better than expected and enjoys taking part in the activities and entertainment. She enjoys getting her hair done and getting her bath, as was always used to just showers. She has a good relationship with the carers, who always go that...
Has also a good rapport with the other residents in her unit and likes to meet up with other residents from other areas of the home.
There have been a few teething problems, but by sitting down and discussing these issues, we have got them resolved and we are now all on the same page.
I really appreciate your feedback and we will continue to ensure to work on areas where improvement has been identified. I just want to thank you for this.
She enjoys...
She enjoys activities and has visits from therapy dogs, owls & ponies! My mum celebrated her 100th in September and the reception & activity teams decorated and hosted a birthday party with 80 family and friends that was a joy for everyone. I doubt she would have reached this milestone without the nursing, dedication and love of all the wonderful staff at Lornebank. I am very grateful to all the staff and now am reassured that my mum is cared for 24/7.
I just to say a big thank you for your feedback and how mum has settled within Livingstone unit. Your feedback will be shared with staff and I am sure they will appreciate the positive comments. Thank you Marion.

Mum has thrived since going to stay at...
Mum has thrived since going to stay at Lornebank, she has put on weight, she takes part in all the various activities and has even been out on visits.
The staff are so friendly and attentive to mums needs, nothing seems to be a bother to them. I think having people around her all the time and all the activities on offer has certainly given mum a new lease of life. For me it has taken all the worry away, knowing mum is being so well looked after 24/7.
Hi Carolyn. We really appreciate the positive feedback and your understanding of mum' s care needs. Your comments will be extremely well received by staff and this is always a motivational factor for them as we sometimes do not realise the hard work that goes behind the scene. Once again, thank you for your online review.

Having moved my dad from another care home in March this year, my sister and I were anxious about him settling. The staff in my dad's unit in Lornebank have really got to know my dad and his 'ways'. They have quickly learned what matters to him and treat him with respect and dignity. They continually strive to find ways to help my dad both emotionally and physically. The staff show compassion and understanding to my dad and the family. Particular attention is given to ensure fluids are taken on board and regularly encourage eating and drinking when my dad needs prompts. We are very grateful for their efforts
Thank you for your heartfelt review of Lornebank Care Centre. It's truly wonderful to hear that your dad has settled in so well and that our team's dedication has made a significant difference.

Thank you for your heartfelt review of Lornebank Care Centre. It's truly wonderful to hear that your dad has settled in so well and that our team's dedication has made a significant difference. We understand the anxiety that comes with such a change, and we are so proud that our staff has quickly built a trusting relationship with your dad.Your words perfectly capture our core values: knowing each resident as an individual, respecting their unique personality and needs, and ensuring their dignity is always upheld. The attention our staff pays to your dad's emotional and physical well-being-from helping with fluids and meals to showing genuine compassion and understanding-is at the heart of the care we provide. We believe that true care goes beyond physical needs and encompasses emotional support for both residents and their families. We are very grateful for your kind words and are honored to have your dad as part of our Lornebank family.

The carers we've met have been responsive and very caring but there are simply not enough carers in Linden Lea, this should be addressed to meet the needs of the people there - this is my biggest concern during the week my mum's been a resident. Activities look great but it appears that it's up to family to ensure my mum gets to participate.
We would like to highlight our commitment to engaging all residents, regardless of their mobility or social preferences. Our activities team works tirelessly to provide one-to-one sessions for residents who prefer to stay in their rooms, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity for stimulation...

Our activities team works tirelessly to provide one-to-one sessions for residents who prefer to stay in their rooms, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity for stimulation and companionship. We believe in bringing the community to them, from quiet reading sessions to musical visits.
We have been very impressed with the care home and staff they have dealt amazingly with out situation and my brother has been dealt with great care and consideration. The staff are very vigilant with his needs. Room is fantastic and the fact we can decorate and make it more personal for his stay...

She...
She is in the Livingstone unit which is a small unit with only 10 female residents and usually the same members of staff on duty which ensures consistency of care.
The home itself is bright, airy and very clean.
There are many activities taking place which she is encouraged to participate in.
She herself appears to be happy with her surroundings.
She is always clean and dry and appears well cared for.
A menu is put on the board daily.
All in all, I am very happy with the care being provided. The location is good for family visits and some shops and restaurants nearby if the weather is suitable for getting her out.
Would not hesitate to recommend this care home to others.
Thank you for your kind review of our services and staff at Lornebank Care Centre. We are delighted that your Mum has settled into our Livingstone unit and glad that you have found her care and our activities program good for her.

It was a daunting experience having to look for a suitable care home for my mother. But after visiting Lornebank Care Centre and being greeted by a staff member at the reception it was an easy choice. We visited two other homes, but they did not even come close to Lornebank. During our visit, all the various parts of the centre were explained and we were advised as to which section mum would be best suited. All the staff were very cheerful and easy to engage with. It was a bit of a heartache taking her there and leaving her for the first day. But the staff were very reassuring that she would settle and they would keep an eye on her. So far she has only asked about three times "When am I going home". All the staff at Lornebank are first rate and we feel happy mum is with such caring professional people.
Thank you for your kind and honest review of Lornebank Care Centre. We know that finding the right home for your loved one is a difficult choice and we are so glad that you put the trust in us to ensure that your Mother is very well cared for.

Lornebank was an easy choice for us when Mum's dementia became too difficult for us to cope with in the family home. We visited several care homes in the Hamilton area, and Lornebank felt right when we saw the facilities and spoke to the staff. Mum has been resident here now for around a year, and we're very happy with the care and attention she's received during that time. Not only that, there are plenty of activities and events to keep her interactive and engaged with those around her.
Thank you for your kind words and taking time to construct a review of our services at Lornebank Care Centre. We are glad to hear that your Mum enjoys the multitude of activities and events that the Centre hosts on a weekly basis.

Dad had a stay of just over 2 weeks at Lornebank to allow for a wet room to be fitted in his home. The manager was very helpful in arranging the stay and the team welcomed my dad and his family into the Peacock Wing. It was great being able to visit at any time and we even managed to celebrate my mum’s birthday with my dad in his room. Dad was well taken care of and particularly enjoyed having the facilities on hand to have regular showers, supported by the staff team looking after him. My mum was treated very kindly by the staff and felt comfortable visiting every day and spending time with my dad. Unfortunately, the heating was stuck on high in my dad’s room and was still waiting to be fixed when we left, which made the room quite uncomfortably warm at times but staff were vigilant in opening windows for my dad when needed.
Thank you for your kind review of our team and services at Lornebank Care Centre. We will take on board your feedback and ensure that the issue with the heating system is addressed.

I recently joined Hudson Healthcare in May 2026, previously having worked across the NHS and private sector, covering roles such as general manager, senior general manager and recently regional director. I qualified as a nurse in 2006 and achieved my degree in nursing at Stirling University. Fifteen years of management experience have allowed me to bring experience that I am sure will benefit resident outcomes and make Lornebank a great home choice for the residents.
I am fortunate to have two grown-up children and four grandsons who live close by to me. I share my home with my partner and Baillie, who is my loveable boy, pet shih tzu.
Swimming and walking are how I enjoy my free time, alongside reading the odd Danielle Steele novel.
