What is Nursing Care?

Nursing care is for older people who require medical and personal care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is most appropriate for individuals who need rehabilitative care, those with physical disabilities and for people who have long-term health issues. We help older people with medical, as well as personal living needs.

At our nursing home in South Lanarkshire, residents have complete access to on-site assistance from nursing professionals, no matter the time of day, making us an excellent choice for people with medical conditions needing around-the-clock care. Residents also have access to a range of facilities and services including beautiful en suite bedrooms, a beauty salon, private gardens, a cinema room and an activities programme to allow residents to pursue their interests.
