At Glenfairn House residents not only live in beautiful surroundings, they enjoy the care of a truly dedicated team, who provide residential, dementia, nursing, palliative, mental health care and respite care.
The team follows Sanctuary’s vision of Enriching Lives, based on the six senses people need to feel truly happy and fulfilled – a sense of achievement, belonging, continuity, security, significance and purpose.
They champion residents to be as independent as they can, and to have an active role to play in how their home is run. Like Resident Ambassador Marie, who loves getting involved in everything from welcoming new residents to Glenfairn, to providing feedback on the menu and the activities on offer.
And talking of activities, following Marie’s feedback, the team regularly takes residents to a beautiful local hotel for tea and cake. Marie has even introduced a new arts and crafts group, with more planned.
Mealtimes are a real highlight of the day, with freshly cooked meals from their chef served daily, as well as home-baked cakes and treats for afternoon tea.
The Edwardian home is magnificent with period features, and many rooms with sea views across to the Isle of Arran, and others overlooking the spectacular gardens. With a summer house and wheelchair friendly pathways, they are a beautiful spot to relax with loved ones, who are welcome to visit any time.
The team embrace the local community into the home, run by not-for-profit Sanctuary Care, helping their residents to truly feel part of life outside Glenfairn. As well as regular trips in the minibus, they love to welcome musicians and youngsters from local schools and colleges.
With a team dedicated to activities, there’s so much to do at Glenfairn House. From pamper sessions in the salon and animal visits, to music, garden games and barbecues.

My cousin has only recently moved into the Glenfairn after 16 weeks in hospital. Although the transition has not been easy for her or us, all the staff have been so supportive and welcoming. This has helped her enormously to settle into the care home environment. They are trying hard to encourage her to take part in all activities and are so kind and caring. The home keeps us fully informed with regular updates on her well being. Her room is beautiful and we hope she continues to settle well into her new home.
Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear your cousin has felt supported during her move and that the team's kindness and encouragement are helping her settle into her new home. It means a great deal to know you feel well informed and that her room provides comfort.

Glenfairn has been my Mums home for two years. She is settled, happy and enjoying life in the company of the staff and other residents, and as her daughter I can relax knowing she extremely well cared for and safe 24/7. The staff providing the high level of care, the premises and the services are exemplary. The investment and refurbishments at Glenfairn have been transformative. There are daily activities for all residents to enjoy as they wish. The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained. I would highly recommend the Glenfairn family.

My mum has been a resident of Glenfairn for a few years and has an excellent standard of care. All the staff from the manager admin kitchen domestic carers and activity are fantastic they are such a friendly bunch and make you feel so welcome nothing is a bother to them. There is regular activities which unfortunately mum can't always do but they always include my mum and myself too when visiting. I am always kept informed regarding mum. There is regular meetings and newsletters too. Glenfairn is a happy place especially when one member of staff is around.

My aunt was in Glenfairn House Care Home for short time earlier this year. We were so impressed by the attentive care she received and by the caring nature of all the staff. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for them and they were always so friendly. The home kept us fully informed with regular updates on the health and wellbeing of my aunt, and any requests were dealt with promptly. Visiting times were very flexible and tea and biscuits were often provided! We looked at several care homes in the area and were so pleased that my aunt secured a place at Glenfairn.

My experience is with my wife working in the care community and residential homes. Visiting on social events and seeing the different environments and interactions between staff and clients. It is with this in mind, the support and care of the residents in Glenfairn House that is very impressive.

In my experience, my mother has been looked after with love and kindness. She enjoys the activities, the company and the food. She is comfortable and relaxed and most importantly she is safe.

All staff have been respectful, understanding and caring since my mum moved into Glenfairn nine months ago. There seems to be significant, positive changes being made that will definitely improve the quality of the care home. Recently, the communication and interaction with relatives/loved ones have increased which has been great.
My partner is now dressed and in a dayroom a lot more and there has been a big improvement with her. She is more alert and eating and drinking well. Very happy, hope this continues.

My mum was transferred from another care home to Glenfairn House Care Home for a few weeks due to work being carried out. On my first visit to Glenfairn House Care Home, I was welcomed by smiling carers in the nicest possible way. Mum's room on the first floor was clean, tidy and very spacious and comfortable. Everything about this wonderful care home was 10/10. For me and my family, top marks all-round to staff, managers, cleaners and chefs, I cannot fault this beautiful place and will be a bit sad when Mum returns to her care home.
Thank you so much for such kind words about our home and team at Glenfairn House, it is so appreciated! Best wishes, Fae.
I feel my mum receives good care from staff. She is treated with dignity and all staff make an effort to interact with us when we visit. She seems settled and readily smiles for some staff members. I am happy with the care my mum receives at Glenfairn.

I feel my family member settled in well after me being uptight. The activities staff are amazing; they are so good with the residents and very organised. There are always activities going on. The bedroom is very cosy with a lovely door that opens onto a nice garden. The management seems really nice; we got a nice welcome phone call. The menus on the tables are great - lots of people see what they are having. The interior is good too.
Staffing levels are poor - need more than three nursing assistants on the floor. Existing staff are very good and committed but overworked given the level of assistance needed by many residents. Basic things like bathing and mouth care are not attended to as a result. Residents are left in bed due...
Staffing levels are poor - need more than three nursing assistants on the floor. Existing staff are very good and committed but overworked given the level of assistance needed by many residents. Basic things like bathing and mouth care are not attended to as a result. Residents are left in bed due to staffing. Health care assistant care is very good but there needs to be more. Very pleased the agency is not used as much - their practice was poor/risky.
The caring is excellent. The food is lovely. The decor is lovely. I love enjoying the activities with my brother. Just everything is lovely. Overall, excellent.
