Elderly and specialist care company Meallmore is on course to open Kelvinside Manor in the West End of Glasgow this autumn, which will provide nursing care and support for 48 elderly people, including those with dementia and its related conditions.   

The newly renovated care home will feature a range of amenities including a café, hair and nail salon, private gardens, dayrooms and balconies. The company has invested £9 million in the development.

Kelvinside Manor will provide around 80 full-time equivalent jobs in a variety of roles, including nurses, care assistants, services team members, administrators and managers. Recruitment starts next month.

The home is Meallmore’s 27th in Scotland, and eighth within the Greater Glasgow and West Scotland region.

Meallmore regional director Carol-Anne Foote said: “I am really looking forward to welcoming residents to Kelvinside Manor. This modern luxury home will provide a safe and comfortable environment for residents.

“Our experience from managing seven other homes in this region of Scotland means we are equipped with knowledge of the community, and will look to continue building strong connections with local members of the public and community groups.”

Meallmore property director Michael Gillespie added: “Kelvinside Manor will be a brilliant addition to our care homes here in the West of Scotland. This modern luxury home will be finished to the highest standards and is designed for ease of living with ageing and related health conditions. We will provide tailored plans to meet care, hospitality, and social needs with onsite support of a 24-hour nursing team.”
