Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Five stars across the board. Amazing staff, beautiful surroundings, spotlessly clean, fantastic daily activities, lovely food. Brilliant wee visitors cafe. My grandmother has a new lease of life and is really settled, engaged, making friends and even bashing biscuits for truffles with vigour. Well done
team!
Reply from Leigh Young, Home Manager at Glencorse Care HomeThank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to see Ina settling in so well, making friends and throwing herself into activities, her banter (and biscuit bashing!) brings a lot of laughter to our home. Posing for her recent post perm photo delighted us all.
I'm proud to say that our wonderful staff really do make all the difference, and they'll be so pleased to hear your kind words. Thank you for trusting us with her care.
Kindest regards
Leigh

My friend has recently moved here and is still settling in as early days. But has nothing but praise for the lovely surroundings and for the staff. I visit once or twice a week and all the staff are very welcoming.

Review from Emma S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad attended Glencorse Care Home for just over two weeks while both my mum and uncle were on holiday, and the experience could not have been better. The level of care he received was truly outstanding-nothing was ever too much effort for the staff. Every nurse took the time to give me daily updates
on his health and wellbeing.
The care team were always there at the push of a buzzer, ready to support him with his mobility and any help he needed. The entertainment staff were fantastic too, encouraging him to join in with the daily social activities and making sure he felt included and engaged during his stay.
The management team were exceptional from start to finish-professional, approachable, and genuinely dedicated to providing the highest standard of care in luxury surroundings.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Glencorse for looking after my grandad so well. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Reply from Leigh Young, Home Manager at Glencorse Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that your grandad had such a positive experience with us and that he felt he was so well cared for during his stay. It means a great deal to know that our nursing team kept you well informed, that our care staff were always on hand to support his needs, and that our activities team helped him feel included and engaged. Steve was an absolute pleasure to have with us and is missed by us all, we hope he will visit us again very soon. Your kind words about our management team and overall standard of care are truly appreciated and we are very grateful for your recommendation

Review from John N (Son of Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad moved into Glencorse Care Home in November 2025, after 2 months in hospital. I had visited several homes in preparation, to find out what was on offer. Initially, another home had been my first choice, on the basis of facilities, activities and a sense of homeliness. I was then made aware of
a brand new home at Glencorse. What could be better than a brand new home with excellent facilities, including its own cinema room, where the residents can watch films of their choice. I then discovered that the new manager of Glencorse had been the manager at the other home. This made the decision easier. So far, Dad has been well looked after and has improved both physically and mentally due to the care, attention and stimulation he has received.
Reply from Leigh Young, Home Manager at Glencorse Care HomeThank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We know how important it is to feel confident when choosing a care home, especially after a long hospital stay, and we're really pleased that Glencorse feels like the right place for your dad. It means a great deal to hear that he is well looked after and that the care, attention and stimulation he receives are helping him both physically and mentally. Your kind words are truly appreciated by our whole team and remind us how important our role is for residents and their families.

Review from Eileen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Respite care was required at short notice.
Manager/Admin could not have been more helpful, informative and professional when I contacted Glencorse care home to make my initial enquiry.
I visited on my own and was soon put at ease with any concerns I had initially had.
The care provided by the nurses
and personal assistants was excellent and each member of staff went above and beyond. Each member of staff took the time to find out what was required to meet my dad's needs to keep him safe and well.
Social activities and interaction with other residents was encouraged throughout the day and at meal times providing a lovely "family"environment.
Admin was handled smoothly and nothing unexpected at the end of placement.
I can't praise Glencorse Care home enough for the quality of care provided and shall not hesitate to recommend or use their services again in the future.
Reply from Leigh Young, Home Manager at Glencorse Care HomeEileen, thank you sincerely for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased we could support you and your dad from your first enquiry through to the end of his stay. Your kind words about our team, the care provided, and the family atmosphere mean a great deal to us. It was a privilege to care for your dad, and we truly appreciate your recommendation and trust in us.

Just want to thank you all for the wonderful respite care you provided for our Mum. She had a lovely stay and described it as a holiday. The activities, care and food were like a 5* hotel. You have given us as a family the comfort of using the the care again in the near future.
Reply from Leigh Young, Home Manager at Glencorse Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear your Mum enjoyed her stay and that it felt like a holiday for her.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.937) out of 10 for Glencorse Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.831 for Glencorse Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.831
  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 4.106 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glencorse Care Home is based on 6 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.556
  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.
