As a social worker, I visit many care homes on a regular basis in Glasgow.
In all honesty, I have to say that Kirk Lane is one of the nicest I have been in. All the staff were extremely helpful & very professional. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed & answered all questions
without hesitation. The home itself is exemplary, and it is clear that the residents are all well cared for.

My husband has been cared for in Kirk Lane Nursing Home for two and a half years. The care is of the highest standard and I feel the staff care for him in a loving way - not just doing things in a dutiful way. This makes me feel at ease with him having to be looked after 24/7 as opposed to me struggling
on my own. The manager said "this is your home too" so I can visit any time, help with his care if I want to and receive emotional support when I need it. Overall, the best decision I've made regarding his care.

My mum has been living at Kirk Lane for almost 3 years and receives excellent care. The home is lovely with a very homely feel and several small dining rooms and lounges for each floor. From the moment you walk in everyone is so friendly and helpful and nothing is a bother to them. The nursing team
and carers are excellent and I feel so reassured that my Mum is being very well cared for by all of them. The reception team are so friendly and helpful as are the maintenance team. The kitchen team are also very friendly and recently made my Mum a most beautiful cake for her birthday. I often visit with my young children and they are always made to feel so welcome and fussed over. The garden area is a great wee haven and so well maintained. The activities team are fantastic they're always so patient, up beat and full of fun. The regular mini bus trips are also great. My mum has dementia and it's such a huge relief to know she's happy, settled, very well cared for & with people around her.

The staff are mostly very good and keep me apprised of how my Dad is doing. We try and see him on a weekly basis. There have been times when Dad was not wearing his hearing aids and some have gone missing. Hopefully moving forward, staff can keep better track of where Dad's hearing aids are (sometimes
he puts them in his pocket). On the main a great service.
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home
Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to pass this to the management team. It is good to hear though that, in the main, you are pleased with the service for your Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
March 2025 marked three years since my mum moved into Kirklane Nursing Home, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. The moment you step into the entrance, which has a lovely hotel-like feel, you immediately sense a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My mum's room is consistently bright, airy, and
clean, contributing to her comfort.
The staff are outstanding. Both the carers and nursing team are incredibly attentive and responsive; truly, nothing is too much trouble for them. I particularly value how well I'm kept up to date on my mum's condition, giving me peace of mind that she is always in safe and capable hands. As her condition has progressed, the Kirklane team has shown remarkable flexibility and proactivity, keen to adapt their systems to provide the best possible care for her evolving needs.
The activity coordinators are fantastic. A special mention goes to one staff member in particular who established an early and strong connection with my mum, ensuring she always feels included, we love her!

The staff team at Kirk Lane are wonderful. My father in law has been a resident for more than three years now and so many of the staff have been here for all of that time and treat him as if he were a member of their family which means so much to us. The facilities at Kirk Lane are excellent too and
we love the terrace upstairs now that my FIL is less able to visit the garden (which he has always enjoyed). Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are really friendly (like a new family), approachable, attentive, professional and get the impression that nothing is too much.
There are plenty of activities during each week, including use of coach to take regular trips out which my Mum enjoys.
Witnessed the use of the function room that had
a small orchestra playing delightful music. Also can be used as a cinema room and other activities.
Maintained garden with path and benches is relaxing and peaceful.
Like all aspects of this nursing home, the spacious bedrooms are of high standard and we could add our own furniture and pictures (Maintenance Team were really helpful in hanging up pictures, which was a welcome surprise).
In summary, a place that gives me peace of mind for my Mum's health, wellbeing and comfort. This nursing home should be the benchmark for all nursing homes, and if someday I had to be looked after, then I would want to move here.
Thank you to all at Kirk Lane for all that you do.

It's such a joy when you enter Kirk Lane from Reception onwards. The staff treats residents and visitors as part of a big family. The manager and all staff are incredible for the care and attention they give to the needs of each resident. The rooms are bright and comfortable with en suite. The garden
is a haven for peace and tranquillity but also for the great activities it provides. Words can't describe how happy and appreciative our family feels to have our dear one is such a lovely place.

Kirk Lane is a nursing home like no other. It is headed by a management team who are forward-thinking and vibrant with an exciting agenda. The residents are offered the usual activities along with more cultural events. At 87 years I have spent my adult life wanting to play chess and after a few months
in Kirk Lane I enjoy a regular game. The gardens are beautiful. It is so peaceful and the gentle movement of the water filter for the fish pond (which the 2 maintenance gents built) is very relaxing. There is always a buzz around the home. There are so many sections at work - nursing and care staff, kitchen and laundry, and activities who really have come into their own along with reception, hairdressing and administration. Inclusion is the operative word. When clients come into the home for respite everyone goes that extra mile to ensure their stay is enjoyable. I am settled at Kirk Lane and the quality of the care takes the pressure off my family and I know I will be looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was a resident for 15 months and received outstanding care during this time. There was a noticeable improvement in his condition when he moved in and I had peace of mind that he was being well cared for in a safe environment. The staff are amazing and genuinely appear to love what they do. We
had frequent review meetings and my dad and I always felt listened to and that our feedback was actioned. There is a great selection of food with tea and cakes served between meals. I was always offered treats and encouraged to help myself from the kitchen. The homemade birthday cakes are a lovely touch and of course delicious! The activities team do an amazing job making sure there is something for everyone. There are plenty of bus trips and excursions, regular visits from therapy animals, and plenty of outside events in the garden during the summer. I highly recommend Kirk Lane and can’t thank the staff enough for taking such exceptional care of my dad.

Wonderful home with an excellent level of care. The activity program here is wonderful with many varied levels for all resident's capabilities.

Over the past month, my mother's health has been poorly and she has had problems eating and had a chest infection. During this period, the care staff, nursing staff and local GP have been excellent in providing the excellent care and support that my mum was requiring. Her health, at 93, will not improve,
however, the home have just put in a new bed to stop my mum from getting bed sores and I was exceptionally pleased that they have done this to provide more excellent care for Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Kirk Lane Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.935 for Kirk Lane Home is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.935
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kirk Lane Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
