My wife is terminally ill with dementia and I'm glad she is at Gledhow because they take care in a holistic approach. They don't only look after my wife, they care for me as well. The management advices are spot on and help us both those difficult times. All the staff are wonderful, worrying, professional and very friendly always with a big smile in their faces. I'm actually lost of words to praise this place. I'm glad my wife is going to end her life here because of professionalism, dignity and compassion. Thank you all for the caring of us.

Since being admitted here I have only met with respect kindness and friendship. The staff have been obliging and considerate to my comfort. My room has been pleasant and comfortable, meeting all my needs. The carers have overseen all my needs and the medical staff my necessary medication. I have been impressed by the quality and variety of the meals. My compliments to you two excellent chefs. I shall miss you all!

My husband stayed in Gledhow Care Home so I could have 2 weeks of much needed respite. He fell ill again whilst there, having suffered regular bouts of illness at home. The staff contacted me as soon as they were concerned and supported him through his final illness. They were thoughtful, caring and sensitive, ensuring the very best of care for him. My family and I will always be grateful to them for their kindness and support.

When it came time for our loved one to move into a care home, we wanted to find a place that felt like more than just a facility- somewhere that truly cared about the well-being of its residents. Gledhow care home exceeded all expectations. From the moment we first visited, it was clear that Gledhow is a special place. The atmosphere was warm, inviting and comforting, which immediately put us at ease. The space was cosy, well-kept, and thoughtfully arranged, offering both privacy and social spaces. What really sets Gledhow apart though, is the staff. Every team member I encountered was not only professional but also genuinely caring and compassionate. It was clear that they treated the residents with respect and dignity. They went above and beyond, especially when my friend passed away, whether offering a kind word or just taking the time to chat and keep spirits high. They were also very helpful in helping us speed up the funeral process which was greatly appreciated.

This is my second review. My friend has now been a resident in the nursing home for nearly 2 years and the care she receives is second to none. I cannot praise the staff enough. The food always looks delicious and she wants for nothing. Thank you everyone at Gledhow.

My son was treated with absolute care and dignity during his stay at Gledhow Nursing Home. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful.

My mum stayed at the nursing home from December to March 2025 and her care was absolutely outstanding from all staff involved. From her daily care, food and her personal care too. Two carers were absolutely amazing with mum and her medical needs, they were always met fully. Everything was always explained fully too whilst offering support and making sure we as a family all fully understood. They explained everything that was happening and why. We really appreciated their daily checking in with Family on visits and offering of support when upset too. This was a very difficult journey for all family involved but was made slightly easier with support from them all at the home. Highly recommend to anyone especially after we struggled with placing mum in a home until we had to.

After my 90 yr old Mum became very ill, both her & my 93 year old Dad (with dementia) were assessed very quickly & admitted the next day for 2 weeks restbite. This gave us chance to look around. The care they were given was excellent & the staff lovely & very friendly.

My mum received amazing care at Gledhow. The staff recognised her as an individual and got to know her despite her advanced dementia. They treated her with dignity and warmth and we're hugely grateful.

My husband settled so well into Gledhow and joined in the activities which amazed me! He was not a man for conversation at the end by the care was amazing all the way through his stay albeit only 3 weeks before his death.

My mum was moved from the hospital to Gledhow home which was a good move as she was able to spend the last couple of weeks of her life peacefully in her own room and visitors were able to come and go at different times instead of visiting hours. The staff were always friendly and helpful keeping me informed of Mum's condition and what had happened etc.
29 January 2025
Staff are very willing, hard-working and friendly. Took a while to get Aunt covered to keep warm even though to visitors/staff the rooms were adequately heated.

During my wife's time at Gledhow, we were treated with the friendliest and greatest respect by all staff.

Since my mother's entry into Gledhow nearly 10 years ago, she has been treated with compassion and dignity by all the staff, when my mum entered the home, her life expectancy was 3 months, I think it is due to the excellent care she receives at the home is the reason for her longevity, the staff are a credit to the group and are superbly led by fantastic management and staff. Kind regards.

My wife has been in Gledhow Care Home for over a year now. She has advanced dementia and is very well looked after by the excellent staff who are always patient and friendly. The home has no restrictions on when I can visit and always keep me informed of what is happening in relation to my wife. I would thoroughly recommend the home.

The staff at Gledhow care home were fantastic in the way that they managed Mum's move from hospital into the facility and immediately made her comfortable and at home. She was always treated with care, dignity and respect and I am very grateful that her final days were in such a wonderfully caring place.

My Mum received wonderful care at Gledhow - all the staff are so caring, professional and respectful of the residents. The ethos is fantastic - nothing is too much trouble either for residents or relatives and the staff, whether nurses, carers or domestic staff, all buy into that approach and do brilliant jobs. I am so grateful for all the staff did for Mum and I know she could have been better cared for. Gledhow is a superb nursing home and if you can get a place for your relatives there do it!

Mum has only been at Gledhow for approx 3 weeks; however, the care she received was outstanding. In the last few days of Mum's life, it was so obvious that the staff were simply not doing a job; they actually really cared. I can honestly say that when I was asked to go the nursing home as Mum had deteriorated I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle the situation (as never had to do anything like that before. I was only able to do this with the support of the staff who also looked after me, keeping me fed and watered, as well as mum. I will never forget the kindness and care of every member of staff I encountered over the five days I was there. Special thanks to the senior male nurse and Deputy Manager who supported me on the day Mum passed. My sister and I will never forget the exceptional care Mum received and it brings us both comfort at this difficult time.

My mum has been at Gledhow for over 12 years. She has had excellent care throughout this time. The staff are wonderful. Very caring and kind. Management is also very good. Very responsive communication. I'm so thankful for everyone there, for all they do.

My father had a very good stay here. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Big special shout out to one of the staff who went above and beyond. Sadly he became ill due to his illness and had to be moved to a hospice. (His wish was to die at the hospice) but wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home and the manager and all the lovely staff.
