My mother joins in with lots of activities and she loves it at Glenburnie.

During this time we approached several different Care Communities that offered to meet dads needs , however, we were instantly impressed ( a decision process shared equally with my three siblings) when we met the Team at Glenburnie who demonstrated a professional & empathetic understanding of not only what dad was going through but also what we as a family were feeling . The ethos that has been fostered there gave us confidence that our dad would be well cared for & we are delighted to say that has been the case since dad joined in November 2025.
We are extremely grateful to all at Glenburnie , in addition to the excellent nursing team everyone else is also a "carer", the admin team, housekeeping, maintenance, catering & the activities co-ordinator are wonderful .the home is clean with quality & comfortable furnishings .Thank you.

My 90 year old uncle came to Glenburnie Lodge in July 2025. Prior to this, he lived independently but was unable to continue due to health issues. I was amazed how quickly he settled in. I think this is down to the fabulous staff who are so very kind, attentive and hard working. Not only do they support my uncle, who needs a lot of care, but I also felt supported and comforted, knowing he was receiving the best care. Glenburnie is a warm and welcoming care home with beautiful rooms and areas where people can meet and enjoy all the activities that staff create. The coffee lounge is his favourite. I would recommend Glenburnie Lodge 100%

I recently had an accident, as a result I suffered some fractures and cannot be completely independent. I am most grateful that I could leave hospital to come to Glenburnie Lodge. This has enabled me to regain my health while saf, comfortable, enjoying good food, excellent care and support. I have found the standard of care has exceeded my expectations. The staff are universally helpful, kind, pleasant and efficient. I am enjoying delicious food and the option to mix with others in the communal spaces or recover in the calm, luxuriously appointed bedroom. As a result both my family and myself have peace of mind.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that we have been able to support you on your road to recovery. We pride ourselves on the standard of care that we provide.

They say the best things come to those who wait, and that’s certainly been the case for new Glenburnie Lodge Care Community Home Director Emma Watson.
Emma used to drive past Glenburnie during its construction and after it opened, and remembers thinking, “I wish I could manage that.”
That wish came true in March 2026 when Emma became our Home Director, and two months on, she says it’s all she had hoped it would be and more.
“It’s been great, and I feel part of the family already,” she says.
A Registered Nurse of over 20 years, Emma spent the early part of her career working in the NHS and then nursing in the military before moving to residential care, where she has spent the bulk of her time.
Over the years, she has led teams in both England and Wales and is experienced in helping services make positive, lasting improvements.
Dementia care is a particular passion for Emma. She has completed additional dementia-focused training and is committed to person-centred care, getting to know each resident as an individual and working closely with families to support what matters most to them.
Emma came to do a mystery shop before her job interview with Dormy CEO Helen Davies-Parsons and says she was struck by her passion for the company and its homes.
“When you’ve been interviewed by someone that’s so passionate about what they do, it’s so tangible that you actually feel it, and I knew at that moment that this was the right job for me,” Emma says.
“Glenburnie is a happy home and the staff are growing with it too, thinking outside the box and using their initiative to find new ways to enhance daily life for residents.
“I want Glenburnie Lodge to feel like a real home – warm, welcoming and kind, with dignity and respect at the heart of everything we do.”
One early standout experience for Emma was the recent recreation of a wedding at Glenburnie Lodge so one of our gentlemen, George, could see his granddaughter Emma get married.
“It was a beautiful day and a real privilege to be part of,” she adds.
“The care taken in the preparation and the way staff came together to make the day special was incredible.”
Outside of work, mum-of-two Emma enjoys spending time with her children, swimming, going to the gym and coaching an under-5s football team.
