Welcome to Rutherglen Care Home in Glasgow, where our team provides person-centred care and carefully tailored care plans for Residents, helping them live life in the way they choose.
At Rutherglen, Residents lead active, happy and fulfilled lives. We encourage everyone to join our thriving activities programme and socialise in our lovely communal areas, inside and out. There’s always plenty of opportunity to enjoy life, make new friends and create new memories.
Rutherglen Care Home in Glasgow is a purpose-built Home offering a high standard of accommodation throughout. Residents are encouraged to personalise their individual rooms from the moment they arrive with their own small items of furniture and personal objects. In addition, some of our 132 rooms are available for couples, so loved ones can continue living together in our homely setting.
With bright sun rooms and extensive landscaped gardens our Home is the perfect place to relax and wind down after a busy day of activities.
Our friendly Home includes six spacious single-storey Houses. Each one specialising in a different type of care where dedicated teams of nurses, care and support staff support Residents’ holistic wellbeing.
Rutherglen Care Home is a popular choice for families as it is located three miles south east of Glasgow and conveniently situated for public transport as well as easy access to the M74 motorway.
Commitment to Quality
At all our care homes, we have aligned and agreed our strategic goals to define what we want our organisation to achieve.
We recommend that you contact the home to find out what changes have been put in place since our last inspection. Family feedback and reviews to date has been fantastic with many excellent reviews for the care, service and team members.
Person-centred care
We take great pride in ensuring that all Residents have a personalised care plan that takes into account both their care needs and lifestyle wishes. We keep care plans regularly updated, either at formal reviews whenever care needs change. We always involve families when possible and ensure that everyone is happy with the level of care provided.
We have good links with local GP practices, and Colleagues are happy to arrange appointments with other practitioners, such as occupational therapists, chiropodists and dentists.
Living life to the full
We encourage Residents to continue to do the things they love, whether it is a hobby such as painting or bowls, or simply shopping – we will do everything we can to make that possible. We also have a busy activity programme and particular favourites are the reminiscence classes, craft and gardening clubs, quizzes, movie afternoons, musical sessions and concerts.
Residents can also get a fresh look and pampering at our in-home hair salon whenever they choose. Or if they prefer a quieter afternoon, then relaxing in our beautifully landscaped gardens offers a lovely retreat from the bustle of everyday life.
Dining and nutrition
A healthy diet is crucial for wellbeing and at Rutherglen our creative team of chefs provide an extensive seasonal and varied menu. As well as encouraging Residents to make suggestions via questionnaires, our regular themed meals are hugely popular. Whether it is a Haggis on Burns’ night or hot cross buns at Easter, there is always a chance to celebrate, not to mention birthday parties when every Resident receives a delicious home-baked cake.
The B Happie Mission
Our mission to promote happy residents and happy staff is underlined by our groundbreaking ‘B Happie Charter’. We achieve these values by conducting person centred activities and events with a whole home approach, by recognising and appreciating the amazing work that our teams do and by prioritising mental health and wellness.
