Feel my dad is safe and cared for. Requires encouragement to eat/drink often however staffing levels do not always allow time for this. Many staff show care and attention not only to my dad but to the whole family.

My aunt has settled well into Bothwell Castle, having been diagnosed with dementia in April of this year.

Excellent care home, one of the best homes I've seen. Lovely, caring staff from management, reception, carers and kitchen staff. The only blip has been the electricity issue earlier in the year which was a great concern and hopefully, this has been addressed and won't occur again. Keep up the good work. (My mum does ask for perhaps more trips outside the home, even over to a coffee shop would be good).
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to the staff who care for your loved one.
Overall, the care home is great and the residents are looked after very well. Unfortunately, our mother has had two falls in the last two months which has been worrying. The staff are wonderful but don't have eyes on the back of their head and can't be everywhere. We are trusting that the manager...
Overall, the care home is great and the residents are looked after very well. Unfortunately, our mother has had two falls in the last two months which has been worrying. The staff are wonderful but don't have eyes on the back of their head and can't be everywhere. We are trusting that the manager and the team are doing all they can to take care of Mum as she covers. The staff are committed and there is never a shortage of cuddles which is really important for our elders.
Thank you for your kind words, I will pass them on to the staff looking after your mum.
Always made welcome by the staff.
I enjoy the cups of coffee the staff provide for me.

I was apprehensive initially. Taking my father from the family home and installing him in an unfamiliar environment was a decision which took us a long time to come to. We visited many homes, both in Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Bothwell Castle Care Home appealed immediately. There is a sense of calm and quiet unhurriedness. Staff are professional and pleasant. The food is delicious and the decor is tasteful and well-maintained. The entertainment is first-class. My father has settled very well.

My name is Will, and I have been working in care homes for 20 years, starting my career as a domestic and kitchen assistant before taking on the role of care assistant and working my way up the ranks.
