Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Our Glasgow homes blend hotel-style hospitality with the genuine warmth that families remember. Chef-prepared meals using Scottish produce, en-suite rooms residents make their own, landscaped gardens they can actually use, and daily activities shaped around who a person is - not around a schedule. We work closely with the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel and Glasgow Royal Infirmary discharge teams to make moves from hospital straightforward. Every home is Care Inspectorate registered and welcomes families to visit any day of the week.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Glasgow
Choosing a care home in Glasgow starts with matching the type of care needed - residential, nursing, dementia or respite - to the right home. Distance from family matters more than most people expect: a home 15 minutes away from a son or daughter will typically see far more visits than one across the city. Read the Care Inspectorate report carefully, not just the grades - the wording gives you a real sense of the home. Visit at least twice, once ideally unannounced, and notice how staff speak with residents, whether people look relaxed, and how the home smells and sounds. Ask what a typical day looks like, whether the person's routines and preferences can be kept, and how meals, activities and visiting work in practice. In Glasgow specifically, ask about links with the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel or Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and how the team liaises with local GPs. Finally, trust the atmosphere - a warm, well-run home usually feels right within the first ten minutes of walking through the door.

Yes. Kelvinside Manor, Antonine House and Mearns House provide nursing care with registered nurses on site day and night, for people with complex or changing health needs. A short assessment confirms which home can meet the level of care required.
Across our Glasgow homes we offer residential, nursing, dementia and respite care. Weekly fees vary by home, room type and level of care - 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 Glasgow City, East Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire Council placements with these contributions factored in. See our funding guide for the full picture.
Yes - all our Glasgow homes have dementia-trained teams, dementia-friendly design and dedicated activity programmes. Kelvinside Manor and Antonine House have particularly strong reputations for advanced dementia support.
