Glasgow offers an excellent choice of nursing homes for older adults who are looking for ongoing medical care. With Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital nearby, families can be confident in seamless transitions of care after a hospital discharge and fast help in an emergency.
From support with complex neurological conditions to incontinence management and palliative nursing, registered nurses are available day and night in nursing homes to provide hands-on care with compassion and professionalism. Other common nursing needs include stroke recovery, Parkinson’s, Motor Neurone Disease, wound dressing, and managing and administering medication, particularly intravenously.
Care needs can vary, which is why many homes offer different stays and levels of care. For example, Four Hills - a Barchester Healthcare home, well-known around the country for their luxury-style homes - offers both permanent and short-term nursing care. Respite care is ideal when regular carers need a break, and can often be a stepping stone towards a permanent stay. Complex nursing care is available at Douglas View, a HC-One home, where residents with nursing dementia needs are looked after by specially trained nurses.
Depending on the level of nursing care you’re looking for, nursing care in Glasgow costs about £1,300 per week on average.
