My wife was admitted to the Glen in December 2024 and remained there until she died in September last year. I am so grateful that she was able to spend her last few months at the home. The dedication to her care by all the management and staff was without doubt everything I could have hoped for. The
Glen was like one big family and they always made me feel welcome. Although my wife wasn't always able to fully appreciate the care she received, she nevertheless made special bonds with some of the team and enjoyed having her typical bit of banter with them. In summary I was always assured that my wife was receiving the best possible care and I doubt any other home could have provided better.
Thank you.

Mum has now been in the Glen Nursing home for 5 months and recently celebrated a milestone birthday. Unfortunately, Mum's dementia means she does not have any memories of the day but our family always will, due to the wonderful staff and the care given.
From the very first day all the staff have
shown themselves to be totally dedicated, compassionate, kind, caring and very gentle with Mum.
The owner Rob told us that communication is the key and it's definitely true. All communication in the home is excellent and as Mum's health has deteriorated quickly this has been invaluable for our family. And it plays a vital role in the brilliant care given.
We have found all of the staff, no matter what their role is in the home, to be kind and caring with Mum, but also with our family. They are always willing to talk and to listen and act as necessary. And we cannot thank them enough, especially as we have peace of mind for the first time in a long time.
Thank you.

Mum has been at The Glen Nursing Home for almost 6 months and settled in extremely quickly.
All the staff and management are amazing, friendly, caring and attentive to mums needs.
We are kept well informed and any queries we may have are dealt with promptly.
As a family we highly recommend The Glen
Nursing Home and thank everyone for the support we receive.

We have been very happy with the care my wife has received at The Glen Nursing Home. All the staff are very good and caring. Would be difficult to find a better care home.

Thank you so much to you and your wonderful staff for looking after my wife.
My wife was the youngest resident whilst she was at The Glen.
My wife's brain tumour sadly caused paralysis in the left hand side of her body, which meant that day to day tasks were extremely difficult for my wife.
Your
staff, and the 1 to 1's assigned to my wife, lovingly looked after my wife with the utmost care and dignity.
Thank you

The Glen provides excellent care. The staff provide excellent support to residents depending on their various needs. Dealing with this stage of life can be difficult but The Glen achieve the balance between looking after relatives, as well as people requiring care.

Mum has been a resident at The Glen for 8 months now, she tells myself and my siblings that she is content and never wants to move from here. Mums physical and emotional needs are well met and she is treated with patience, kindness and dignity.
My siblings and I visit regularly and we are also
treated with kindness and respect and our visits/family time is valued.
I very much appreciate the excellent care mum receives and would find great difficulty replicating, it should this ever become necessary.
11 July 2025
Just pleased with his care , nursing and staff.
They really are very caring and kind.
Not sure what else to say because I am so pleased he is in The Glen and being looked after like he is because of the high standard of care.

From first visiting The Glen to look round for potential care for out Mum to move there nothing was too much trouble, the Care Home is beautiful very well
maintained and kept clean to a very high standard. It has very good facilities and immaculate bedrooms. The Care Home Manager showed us all
that was on offer and what facilities and events/entertainment takes place on a regular basis. We knew this was the right place for Mum straight away she needs 24 hour nursing care, they very speedily facilitated Mum moving there from hospital. Someone is always on hand for us to talk to if we have any questions & meet all of our Mum's needs. Each and every staff member are very knowledgeable and very kind and caring. I would not hesitate in highly recommending The Glen to anyone needing care. You certainly won't be disappointed and it is set in beautiful surroundings with lovely well maintained gardens & outdoor seating. The food is exemplary excellent home cooked food at its best.

From what I've seen in the last 16 months I can't fault this excellent care home. As an ex-CQC inspector that's not a statement made lightly! Staff genuinely care about the residents, nothing is too much trouble, they are treated with love and respect. The care team are stable and know about the
residents and their needs. It's not run on bank staff as in other homes i.e. I see the same faces when I go and visit. The home is so clean. Only in one occasion in 16 months have I seen a communal area that needed hoovering & that was around dinner time and it was sorted while I was there. Not easy with lots of residents living with dementia! Management are kind, responsive & knowledgeable of the residents. Again, nothing is too much trouble & communication is excellent. Whilst no, it isn't the cheapest care home in the area, the quality of care and peace of mind that comes with having a resident cared for here is excellent value for money. Their values statement is beautiful & staff embody it

I cannot praise highly enough the Care and understanding that the staff and Management give Residents in "The Glen Nursing Home".
I have no problem whatsoever in recommending the home to anyone. I don't think we could have chosen a better environment for her to be in. Their understanding, their
care of my wife who suffers from Vascular Dementia is second to none.
During the time she has been in the home we as a family have felt secure in the knowledge that she is well cared for in everyway we could wish for.
She takes part in all the sing-alongs, visits the cinema, and loves the staff, and I cannot praise them enough.
Once again thank you to you all.

The Glen is a very pleasant and well run care home. The staff including managers, nurses and care staff are all very helpful and friendly and communication is generally excellent. There are plenty of activities and the meals are varied and very good quality. The home has the interests of
residents at the heart of their operation. I highly recommend this care home. (I have experience of a number of care homes )

1000 characters does not provide nearly enough space to describe the outstanding care my Mum has received at The Glen, since 2021.
Mum's Dementia journey is fairly advanced now & she is not always an easy person to look after but staff care for her with kindness and professionalism at all times.
They know her likes, dislikes, favourite food & soft toy; they know she prefers to get up late in the mornings, & the videos she likes to watch when in her room. When Mum was at her previous Nursing Home she rarely left her room & was reluctant to even get dressed. At The Glen, she is always washed and dressed, and she enjoys the varied, fun filled daily activities, & fabulous live Musical entertainment!
Communication on all levels is excellent with regular personal updates. The modern purpose built home is bright, clean & staff are always welcoming to visitors.
So a big thank you to all of The Glen Team - All working together to provide first class care for their lovely residents.

A huge Thank You to the Glen. My Mum consistently receives excellent care - all staff members from all departments are kind, caring, friendly and work hard to make it a 'home' for residents. The Nurses and Carers from both day and night teams are all so very caring, dedicated, professional and
communicate with respect and warmth helping residents feel loved and safe and relatives reassured. There are also wonderful activities/entertainment coordinators who create a happy, positive, fun atmosphere which makes a real difference to my mum's emotional wellbeing.
It is an immaculately clean, incredibly well organised, well run nursing home with and every detail is considered. I feel eternally grateful to all the staff and management for providing such a comfortable, clean, safe and happy haven for my mum, living with dementia, in the final chapter of her life. I'd have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend the Glen to anyone needing 24/7 care for their loved one.

Excellent care provided for mother , mum is well cared for and can see this every visit.
Really glad that my mother is cared for at the home , staff are welcoming and approachable and can't do enough to assist.

I just want to say a massive thank you to the manager and his team for taking such good care of my twin brother. Every time I came to see him he was always clean, dressed and sat with other people, he was never sat in his room alone which helped him I'm sure. To the manager - all your staff were
very good not just with my brother with everyone, they spent time with them not rushing off to do other jobs. Thank you for making his final days so comfortable that means a lot to me. Lovely place and lovely staff.
27 April 2018
We just wanted say a heartfelt thank you to you and all your staff for the outstanding care that you gave to Dad, in what was to be his last few days.
You were all very professional, respectful and compassionate in all that you did for Dad, it gave us great comfort knowing that Dad was being well
cared for.
Although you had not known Dad before he came to The Glen we felt you treated him as if you had known him in his earlier days, by finding about his life story.
I would like to add that as Dad’s family we were consulted at all times about Dad’s care and treated very kindly at all times.
