One of our two nursing homes in Ayrshire, Glenfairn House is a magnificent Edwardian care home, surrounded by stunning gardens. In a picturesque location by Ayr Beach, many rooms boast sea views across to the Isle of Arran.
But it’s not only the beauty of the care home that makes it special, it’s also our devoted team, who provide residential, dementia, nursing, mental health care, palliative care and respite breaks.
