Westerton Care Home is a luxury, purpose-built care home nestled in the leafy suburb of Bearsden, just outside Glasgow. Alongside specialist nursing, dementia and respite care, we offer exceptional residential care for older adults who need day-to-day support in a welcoming, homely environment. With space for up to 100 residents, our home blends professional care with a warm, community feel, offering modern facilities, beautiful surroundings, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy life to the fullest.
What is a Residential Care Home?
A residential care home is designed for older adults who may no longer wish to live alone or need a little help with everyday tasks. At Westerton Care Home, we offer a supportive, safe environment where residents benefit from round-the-clock assistance, comfortable accommodation, and access to a variety of in-house amenities. It’s a lifestyle that promotes independence while removing the pressures of daily life.
Residential care is ideal for individuals who need help with personal care, taking medication, or moving around, and who enjoy the social benefits of shared living. In addition to residential care, homes like ours often provide other types of support, including nursing, dementia, and respite care for those with more complex needs.
With all meals prepared daily, regular activities and outings planned, and staff on hand to help organise any extra services such as physiotherapy or GP appointments, residents can continue living a full and enriched life, with just the right amount of support.
Supporting our Residents at Westerton Care Home
At Westerton Care Home in Bearsden, we understand how important it is to feel at home. We pride ourselves on offering not just high-quality care, but a warm, welcoming environment where residents are supported to live life their way. Whether someone prefers a quiet lifestyle or enjoys being more active and sociable, our team is always on hand to provide just the right level of support.
Our home features a variety of facilities designed to enhance wellbeing, including private landscaped gardens, a hair and beauty salon, and a cosy cinema room. We also run a varied activities programme, which encourages residents to get involved in new hobbies, connect with others and continue doing what they love. Every resident is encouraged to enjoy the home as much or as little as they wish.
We know that making the move into care is a big decision, and we’re here to support families every step of the way. Before a new resident joins us, we offer a consultation with our Home Manager to fully understand their individual needs and preferences. A personalised care plan is then created and reviewed regularly, ensuring that every resident receives tailored care that adapts with them over time.
