I honestly can't believe how good the Glen Tanar care home is. From the moment my mum arrived, the care, kindness and support have been outstanding.
A huge reason for this is the manager, Helen - she is absolutely amazing. She truly cares, not only about the residents but also about their families,
and nothing is ever too much trouble for her.
The staff take brilliant care of my mum and always make us feel welcome and supported too. The food is all freshly made and always looks lovely, and there are so many activities and outings to keep residents happy, active and involved.
I genuinely cannot fault this care home in any way and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional care for a loved one.

I can't thank everyone at Glen Tanar enough for there kindness and compassion they've shown to my grandad. From the moment he arrived, he was treated with genuine warmth and respect, which made such a difference to our whole family.
A special mention has to go to Helen, who has been lovely since my
grandad arrived. All of the staff at Glen Tanar deserve recognition as well. They work incredibly hard and always go the extra mile, whether it's through their friendly conversations, their professionalism, or the little things they do each day to make residents feel at home.
It gives me real peace of mind knowing my grandad is in such a supportive and caring environment. We're so grateful for everything you all do, thank you for treating him with such dignity and kindness.

We looked around numerous homes for my mother-in-law on the Fylde coast and couldn't find a home that had 'the right balance' ie felt like home, down to earth caring staff, nice food and a good mixture of residents. Then we found Glen Tanar.
It's a special place; from Helen the manager to all of
the staff, there is just such a caring environment where my mother-in-law felt welcome.
We were worried initially about how things were going to go but Helen assured us that there was flexibility in many aspects of the initial stages, and the needs of my mother-in-law would always be the priority.
There are always things going on from kids from a local nursery visiting, to a Shetland pony, to chicks being hatched in the lounge, to days out etc etc
As the dementia progressed the willingness of the staff to go the extra mile became more and more apparent. This meant so much to our family and was so appreciated.
I would recommend this home.

What I appreciate about the Glen Tanner is the kindness and friendliness of the staff. They're always very engaged with my mother and also give her space when she needs it too. There seems to be little turnover of staff which helps with continuity of care. Admin with Helen is also straight forward
and I've had no issues getting hold of her, whenever I've called the home. I feel confident my mother's getting good care, this brings peace of mind especially as I live a long way away.

We very reluctantly had to put my mum into a care home . We asked around for recommendations and Glen Tanar had the most positive feedback. So she has become a resident there. And what a difference we saw immediately in my mum. The staff without exception are friendly, polite , and give their all
. They have singers,entertainment and daytrips .nothing is too much trouble for them . The food is fantastic. My mum loves it ,and once again they have achieved a 5 star award. What more could you ask for . I can sleep at night knowing she has the best care and attention she deserves. The difference in her is amazing. I feel like I have my mum back . Thank you for everything.

My mother spent over 4 years at Glen Tanar before she passed away recently. The staff were all amazing throughout her stay, involving in her numerous activities and outings to keep her fully engaged. In her final weeks when her health was failing the team constantly looked after her and could not
have done more for her in the level of care they provided.
Throughout her stay I was confident she was being well looked after and I was always made extremely welcome when I visited.

Excellent care home where all staff put the needs of residents first and treat all residents with respect and dignity. Daily recreational activities to stimulate residents and keep their minds active and encourage visitors to participate to enable full inclusion. All residents treated with their
individuality in mind.

I Always turn up unannounced and have always been greeted warmly. I Feel my Mum is cared for at all times and staff attend to all her needs well. Her room is homely and we have brought in some of her own furniture to help her settle. She says the food is good and although she may not join in with
some activities, is always encouraged to do so. They have different artists on and go on outings at times. Staff are always approachable and friendly. I feel confident in the care she receives and talk to staff about her care needs often. It's a huge relief to find a home that all the family are happy with.

My grandad moved to Glen Tanar November 2025 and since and I am incredibly grateful for the care and kindness shown to my grandad by everyone at Glen Tanar. The staff have gone above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. They treat him with genuine respect, patience, and
warmth, and it gives my whole family such peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after.
The atmosphere is welcoming and positive, and it's clear how much effort is put into not just meeting residents' needs, but helping them enjoy life every day. It means more to us than we can put into words. We couldn't have wished for a better place for him to call his new home!

This is an amazing care home with excellent staff who go above and beyond to look after their residents. All the staff at Glen Taner are so caring, they keep you updated on everything that happens within the home. The food is excellent and bedrooms are very comfortable. They provide lots of games,
outings and different events which family and friends can attend. We couldn't ask for anything else for our mum. We were unsure about putting mum in a care home after she'd been in hospital after a nasty fall, but it was the best decision we made. Mum has been at Glen Taner for over 3 years and is very happy there.
