Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Antonine House is a Bearsden home in the proper sense: local staff, local GPs, and families who can walk in on their way past. It sits in quiet grounds with landscaped gardens, chef-cooked Scottish meals and en-suite rooms residents fill with their own furniture and photographs. Kelvinside Manor, a short drive away, gives families a second option in the same style if a particular room type or care level is needed sooner. Both teams are experienced in dementia care and work closely with hospital discharge planners across the west of Glasgow.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Bearsden
Choosing a care home in Bearsden is easier than in much of Glasgow, because the choice is smaller and the homes are close together, but the same questions apply. Start with the care type needed, residential, nursing, dementia, respite or palliative, and check the home is registered for the level that will be needed in a year, not only today, so a second move can be avoided. Read the full Care Inspectorate report rather than the grades alone. Visit twice where possible, once unannounced, and look at how staff and residents talk to one another and whether the communal areas are actually being used. Ask what a typical day looks like, how meals and activities are handled, how families are kept informed and what happens as needs change. Locally, ask how the home works with the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel General and Bearsden and Milngavie GP practices. Then trust the atmosphere you find on the day.

Antonine House (G61 2SL), in Bearsden itself. Kelvinside Manor is around two miles away in Glasgow's west end.
Yes - Antonine House is registered for residential, nursing and dementia care, and also supports respite and palliative care.
Residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care. Weekly fees vary by room type and level of care, and we price each stay individually after a short assessment. Scotland's Free Personal Care contribution of £260.30/week and, where nursing is needed, Free Nursing Care of £117.10/week come off the total; a family top-up may bridge any remaining gap. We accept East Dunbartonshire Council placements with these contributions factored in. See our funding guide for the full picture.
Yes - respite is available at Antonine House subject to availability and a short assessment, and at Kelvinside Manor if the dates suit better.
