Kintyre Care Home is an award winning 16-bedroom specialist dementia care facility in Kirkintilloch, Glasgow, offering high levels of specialised nursing care to older people with dementia, including Alzheimer’s and stroke related dementia. Setting the standards in dementia care, only the highest levels of nursing and personal care are provided at Kintyre Care Home, as we believe each resident should live a full life, even with dementia. Our comprehensive training plan ensures that all our staff are trained to understand dementia and how best to care for each residents individual needs
The care home’s design and interior finishes have been selected to help and stimulate our residents and includes a reminiscence room, a new spa featuring a hairdressers and nail bar, in addition to attractive secure gardens that make the most of the stunning views of the Campsie Hills in East Dunbartonshire. The care home is designed to be cosy and welcoming, and with its limited number of bedrooms this home is ideal for those older people who prefer a more intimate environment.
Kintyre operates in close coordination with Lillyburn Care Home, ensuring that residents have access to the comprehensive services and support that both facilities provide. This integrated approach allows residents to receive the care they need while benefitting from the specialised amenities of Kintyre.
Frustrations and tensions are common symptoms linked with dementia which can be relieved through daily planned activities, social and mental stimulation and interaction. When a loved one suffers from dementia they are no less deserving of fun and stimulation than other elderly people.
At Pacific Care we believe rather than merely existing with dementia each resident should live a full life; some of the daily activities are listed opposite...
It is important to people with dementia to feel secure and comfortable. Each resident’s personal plan is developed with the full involvement of the resident and their family, including likes and dislikes such as food, drinks, recreational activities and preferred bed times. At Kintyre Care Home all bedrooms have en-suite showers and there are comfortable communal lounges, a reminiscence room and visitors facilities.
The secure garden is accessible from the lounge and some bedrooms, and the lounge's glazed patio doors captures beautiful views over the Campsie Fells.
We believe that people with dementia should receive as much stimulation and interaction as other elderly people and ensure that all our residents get their fair share of the little extras in life that bring pleasure. The most recent addition to Kintyre Care Home includes a state-of-the art hair salon and nail bar which is proving to be a big hit with the residents already!
To make all our residents feel at home, our team is on hand to arrange the little things that make all the difference.
