Forefaulds Care Home

As well as dining and living space, there is a Namaste room at Forefaulds, which is a relaxing area where our residents who live with dementia can spend time in soothing surroundings. They can enjoy a hand or foot massage, with mood lighting and the scent of aromatic oil fills the room.

Here at Forefaulds we have 56 single rooms. Residents have access to a range of en suite facilities as well as access to shared bathrooms and shower facilities. Each room has a phone and television point.

Keeping residents engaged and stimulated with fulfilling activities is a vital part of life in the home. Whether enjoying a spot of holistic therapy with our regular Reiki sessions, or waving pom poms around in the music and movement classes, there is always something to do! Our more intimate one to one activities are so important too, where we sit with a resident and do anything from read poetry together, spend time reminiscing or treat them to a relaxing hand massage.

Every week we take the residents out and about in our own minibus. A short drive from the nursing home is the National Museum of Rural Life in East Kilbride. Other favorite spots that our residents like to go each week are South Lanarkshire’s Calderglen Country Park and Whitelee Wind Farm in Eaglesham, Glasgow. If they fancy a little retail therapy, the care home is a very short drive from the town’s main shopping centre.

Every week the leaders of the local churches conduct services at Forefaulds especially for our residents. We are also invited back to Moncrieff Parish Church in Calderwood every week for activities, including dominoes, darts and boules.
