My Aunt was in Clarkston House for 16 months. When she arrived, the staff all called in to see her and introduced themselves. They were all like family and they couldn't have done enough for her. She didn't take part in many of the activities but there were plenty to choose from. She enjoyed getting her hair and nails done! The food was lovely and she enjoyed the cakes with her afternoon tea. If we arrived at the right time, we got one too! The staff at Clarkston House not only supported my aunt, but supported us, her family too. We got a warm welcome at reception and also from the nurses and carers upstairs. As my aunt got more frail the staff were so caring and attentive . I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarkston House to anyone thinking of putting a loved one into care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind feedback and for trusting Clarkston House with your auntie's care.
Your thoughtful words mean a great deal to us. We are delighted to know that both your auntie and your family felt welcomed, supported, and cared for throughout her stay....
The care my Mum has received in her first couple of months has been excellent and we feel that the staff have really gone out of their way to get to know my Mum and her needs. The home itself provides a really lovely environment which is comfortable, well laid out and beautifully furnished with lovely paintings and photos of local Glasgow scenes which provide lots of opportunities for reminiscing.
There are daily activities which residents can opt in or opt out of. My Mum really enjoys the dancing sessions and visits from the Therapets (dogs and occasionally a Shetland pony!).
My Mum enjoys the food which is home made on the premises and has put on weight since she arrived, which was much needed.
It is wonderful to know that our team has taken...
I can't thank Clarkston House enough for the wonderful care they have given my brother over the past six months. The management and staff have all been so kind and friendly to us all.
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind feedback about Clarkston House. We are delighted to hear that your brother has received such positive care during his time with us and that you and your family have felt supported by our management team and staff. Providing compassionate, dignified...
The staff are kind, patient, and attentive, and they always make time to keep me informed. Most importantly, I feel confident that my mother is in safe hands, which gives me real peace of mind. The home has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and I am grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown every day.
Thank you for taking the time to share such kind and thoughtful feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you are happy with the care and support your mother receives. It is especially reassuring to know that having familiar staff provides both you and your mother with comfort and confidence, as...
The staff team have been amazing with my Dad. He has needed additional support recently and has been so well cared for. The team have also been amazing at keeping us informed at every step and caring for us along the way as well.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that your dad has been well cared for, particularly during a time when he required additional support. It is also good to know that you have felt well informed and supported throughout.
Your comments regarding the staffs care, communication, and compassion are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the team.
My Dad has now been living at Clarkston House for around 9 months and I could not be happier with the progress he has made since moving in. Obviously the dementia means his mental faculties are only going to deteriorate at this point in his life, but any decline has slowed significantly. Being part of the community at Clarkston House has only been beneficial. He is also enjoying a much better diet, his weight has increased and he is overall looking healthier and happier. All the staff are fantastic and the old man could not be in better hands. A big thank you to everyone at Clarkston House.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that your dad has settled well at Clarkston House and that you have noticed improvements in his wellbeing, nutrition, and overall presentation. It is also encouraging to know that he is enjoying life as part of the community.
We appreciate...
Clarkston House staff continue to provide the highest levels of care and support for my father. He is kept in the best possible health and surroundings. Hygiene, safety and welfare are always top priorities. He has been in care there for over 3 years now. I have no hesitation in commending and recommending Northcare as a care provider.
Thank you for your continued trust and recommendation of Northcare Ltd .
The staff are always friendly and welcoming and chatty too which is lovely! Rooms are bright with plenty room and cleanliness is top notch - both with facilities and looking after our Resident.
Her needs are very much looked after and she is comfortable and happy in the care of Clarkston Care Home.
It is also very pleasing to hear that you find the staff friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and that you...
My mother had a 10 day period of respite at Clarkston House following a short hospital stay. She was greeted warmly with staff introducing themselves by their first name. Her room was well-furnished, warm and bright. We initially thought she may require a 'hospital' bed but the mattress and pillows were very comfortable. She was very well-attended by nursing, care and domestic staff. She wasn't feeling well enough to take advantage of the programme of activities however she benefitted from the visiting hairdressers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback about your mother's respite stay at Clarkston House. We are delighted to hear that she was made to feel welcome from the moment she arrived and that our team helped create a warm, comfortable and supportive environment during her...
The Care and attention she has received is absolutely amazing. It is like a family atmosphere. All staff are exceptional and nothing is too much trouble.
I would not look any further than here to look after my loved ones.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting Clarkston House over the past three years. It means so much to hear that your Aunt has felt cared for, supported, and part of our family We truly value your feedback, and knowing that our family-centred approach has made a positive...
Due to mum having vascular dementia she was at the stage she did not recognise her own home so once the move happened she settled well with the help of all the staff and I know she finds comfort from having physical and emotional support day and night.
She thought at first we were on holiday and she was staying in a hotel, which helped relieve our feelings of guilt.
The day before her admission we were able to visit her room, sort her clothes, make up the bed with her own bedding and take her pictures and ornaments to make the room more familiar to her.
She has now been in Clarkston House for 6 months and comments daily about the beautiful flowers and her lovely furnishings (she thinks the flowers are real and the furnishings her own) - a happy world to be in.
The hard decision of handing over the care of a loved is immense but her needs are met on every level.
It is...
We could not be happier with the care both she and our family have recieved.
Every member of staff we dealt with have been patient, caring, empathetic and adaptable to our mum's needs and have done everything possible to support her settle well. Led by the care home manger who is caring, approachable and professional, all of the nursing and care team and housekeeping and catering team have been amazing.
While personal nursing care was the most important consideration for our mum, the environment is welcoming, clean and well furnished and walking into Clarkston House feels luxurious while also being welcoming and comfortable.
It is a difficult and emotional decision picking the right place for a loved one. The entire team at Clarkston House have made this process easy and stress free. I can without doubt say this is exactly the right choice for our family.
We understand how difficult this decision can be, so it means a great deal to know that our team has helped make the transition...
I cannot thank you enough for the love and support you have given to my uncle. Being at Clarkston House has completely turned his life around. He would not be with us if it wasn't for the support you have provided.
Supporting our residents and their families is at the heart of everything we do, and we feel privileged to have played a part in his journey. Your feedback means so much to our entire team.
Dietary needs were met successfully, as were medical needs when needed. Varied activities were present regularly when needed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you have had a positive experience with our team and that our staff have been approachable and able to connect well with residents of all backgrounds. We are glad that dietary and medical needs have been met to your...
My Aunt has been with you for just over a year and Robyn has always been very friendly and helpful, nothing seems to be a bother for her.

She truly embodies the caring and dedicated spirit of Northcare. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words, which...
I am very impressed with Clarkston House and the care they provide my Uncle.
Front of House Manager and Home Manager have been wonderful in supporting my Uncle and assisting me in navigating the complexities of the UK Care Home system.
The facilities are well appointed and clean.
Security is good.
Staff are well mannered, kind, and have a sense of humour. It's nice to see my Uncle having a good laugh with the lovey people supporting him.
The service contracts are well written and easy to understand.
Invoices are prompt and no hidden costs.
In my brief stay in the UK I spoke with the friendly locals and they had positive feedback about Clarkston House, this was comforting to know it has a good reputation in the community.
I wasn't there to see any Activities but the Newsletter provided an overview of the activities available to my Uncle.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We're truly pleased to hear that your experience with Clarkston House was so positive during your recent visit from Australia. It was a privilege to support your uncle through his transition, and we're glad we could assist you in navigating the UK...
On a recent visit was amazed to see that an already well decorated Care Home and Rooms had been updated, absolutely lovely but also very homely. Staff continue to be welcoming to visitors, informative and attentive and patient with residents. Happy to see our friend/resident is content and obviously well cared for. Very reassuring.
Thank you so much for your review, we are glad to hear you are happy with our recent room refurbs, we take great pride in the appearance of Clarkston House. Thrilled to hear you had such a welcoming visit and we look forward to welcoming you back very soon.
Clarkston House is an amazing place. Comfortable, clean surroundings and lovely atmosphere from the minute you go in the door. The staff are exceptional and they are the ones that make Clarkston House so special. My mum was admitted after a long hospital stay and was in a terrible state. The staff here have given her kindness and care and nursed her back to health. The food provided is excellent and she now eats well and has put on weight. Every single member of staff that Ive met has been friendly, helpful and welcoming. They make a difficult situation so much better.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review. We're truly touched by your words and delighted to hear that your mum has made such wonderful progress since arriving at Clarkston House. Our team takes great pride in providing compassionate, personalised care, and it means a great deal to know...
Experience of care home is good , I am a bit concerned of the turn around in staff, My dad had got know some staff well but now they have been relocated to other care homes and feel he's not getting the same attention as before, in general all staff are friendly and supportive in dealing with my dad's condition and needs.
Thank you vey much for the positive feedback. We fully appreciate your comments regarding turnover of staff. We have retained all staff within the business and we have opened a new care home locally which have supported staff progression which results in relocation of some staff. All new staff at...
An excellent level of care is provided at Clarkston House. 24/7 nursing care is provided by skilled and compassionate staff who are completely approachable if needs be. The care is complimented by friendly and efficient care team and hospitality staff.
