My mother spent the last weeks of her life at Gledhow. The staff treated mum with total dignity and respect throughout her stay, and even after death the care they showed to her body, and the guard of honour that was provided when the body was being collected, will live with me forever... I thank
the team wholeheartedly and will be forever grateful.

Our family have been incredibly impressed with the level of care our father has received at Gledhow Nursing Home. Communication is excellent. The environment is warm, homely, welcoming and feels like a family. He was made to feel extremely comfortable and very well looked after. The food was
outstanding, well presented with a good choice. The Head Nurse was so compashionate. Dad was safe and happy. Thank you xx

My friend was treated with kindness and dignity from the moment she arrived until the moment she left. She was very happy being cared for here and I would recommend this care home without hesitation.

My wife has advanced dementia and has been in Gledhow for over two years. She has Alzheimer's, Vascular Dementia and Aphasia, so has lost her memory almost completely, has limited understanding and her speech is mostly gibberish, so she now needs everything to be done for her. The staff get her up
each day, shower her, dress her, help her to the lounge and make sure she is comfortable there and help her with her meals. The staff are all pleasant, hard-working and helpful and deal with the many problems that arise with residents in a calm and sympathetic way. The fact that you can visit at any time without an appointment illustrates that the home really has nothing to hide, and I am very happy that my wife is there and is so well cared for.

My dad has advanced dementia and can sometimes display challenging behaviour. The whole team at MHA Gledhow have taken this in their stride and provide regular updates. They also contact myself and my mum directly to discuss his ongoing needs and staff are available to have a catch up when we visit
the home. My family and I have seen how hard working and dedicated the staff are and we are very happy with how he has been looked after at the home.

My wife came to Gledhow for 2 weeks respite. I have to say the nurses and care staff were outstanding. My wife very much enjoyed her stay with you and the staff had time to talk with her. My wife is looking forward to her next respite.

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.
28 March 2025
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.
03 March 2025
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.
31 January 2025
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.
