Why Meallmore
Care that feels like home
Belleaire sits above the town with views over the Clyde; Kincaid House is closer to the town centre. Both combine hotel-standard comfort - chef-cooked Scottish meals, en-suite rooms residents make their own, landscaped gardens - with the genuine warmth families notice from the moment they walk in. Our teams work closely with Inverclyde Royal discharge planners and know the local GPs by name.

A short guide
How to choose a care home in Greenock
Choosing a care home in Greenock starts with the type of care needed - residential, nursing, dementia or respite - and which part of Inverclyde suits the family best. Distance matters: a home 10 minutes from a family member's door will typically see many more visits than one across the district. Read the Care Inspectorate reports for the homes on your shortlist carefully rather than only the top-line grades - the wording tells you far more than the numbers. Visit at least twice, once ideally unannounced, and notice how staff speak with residents, whether people look relaxed and engaged, 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. Ask about links with Inverclyde Royal Hospital, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde community teams and local GPs - continuity with familiar clinicians is a real comfort. Above all, trust the atmosphere.

Both Greenock homes 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.
