Our stunning care home in East Dunbartonshire, offering luxurious living coupled with the highest standards of care and support.
Just north west of Glasgow in the striking town of Milngavie, you'll find Milngavie Manor, our luxury care home that offers residential, nursing and dementia care for the older community.
Milngavie has a rich and progressive history, evolving from a small country village, to a minor industrial centre for paper mills, to now being considered by some a quiet suburb of northern Glasgow (which is only 6 miles south).
Milngavie is now a popular retirement destination, with a vibrant community of retirees who enjoy busy social lives with an abundance of social clubs and interest groups taking place throughout the week.
There are some quality destinations around Milngavie for a day-break - the Milngavie reservoir (1859) is a beautiful dog-walking and tourist attraction, and is the main supplier of water to Glasgow City. It's particularly famous for its wellbeing benefits as it's consummation essentially caused the eradication of cholera and typhoid, which were all too common at the time.
You'll find many places of worship around Milngavie - in fact, three twentieth Century churches are within 500m of each other!
If you're a sports fan, you'll be pleased to know that Milngavie is the home of West of Scotland FC, one of the oldest rugby clubs in Scotland, dating back to 1865. Rangers Football Club's training facility is also in the town.
Alongside the superb features and hotel-style facilities, Milngavie Manor care home offers an exceptional level of care. The stunning care home benefits from a dedicated and experienced team who are committed to providing the very best care for our residents, and enjoys a 'Very Good' rating from the Care Inspectorate.
Milngavie Manor offers 24-hour residential, dementia and nursing care. If you are looking for care for yourself or a loved one please do get in touch - we'd love to have the opportunity to show you around our beautiful home and introduce you to our friendly team.

Whether they like to relax with a good book, socialise with friends, or watch the world go by, we can facilitate it all. Our quiet rooms are particularly popular for residents who prefer their own company, and our vibrant and busy living spaces are great for building friendships.

| Activities Are So Important |

Wellbeing & lifestyle Our designated Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach ensures that we create a nurturing and stimulating environment for everyone. Our personalised approach to care means that we cater for all of our residents’ unique needs, providing as little or as much support as they require. Happiness and harmony are at the heart of our home life and we have a designated Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach to ensure that we create a nurturing and stimulating environment for everyone, residents and staff alike. We advocate activities that promote physical and mental wellbeing but we don’t believe in waiting for an Activities Coordinator to organise them. Our team members have a collective responsibility to support our residents to continue with their hobbies or pursue new leisure activities, when they want to and not as part of a set timetable. We provide a combination of fun and therapeutic activities that help our residents to be more physically active, mentally stimulated and socially connected. Working together with our Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach all of our residents benefit from a Personalised Wellbeing Programme, which is reviewed every four weeks. The programme uses data from medical records, past employment history and personal experiences, interests and social activities, and assesses current levels of physical and mental ability, to create a supportive and nurturing lifestyle. Wellbeing also includes self-esteem, confidence and self-care. We offer a Wellbeing Salon which helps to regain self-confidence by helping residents to relax and feel better emotionally and mentally. Our residents receive salon treatments every week and all our Homemakers are trained to give luxury hand massages. Our therapies are a great way to unwind, relax and get rid of unwanted stress and tension. Homes also offer a number of mobility classes to improve residents range of movement, strength and flexibility which promotes independence and helps with a feel good factor. |
