At Greenways Care Home we require a 28-day notice period for residents receiving any of our long-term care services who wish to move out. Our compassionate team is available around the clock to support you through the transition and answer any questions you may have.

We provide Palliative Greenways Care Home for those approaching the end of their life. Our team is dedicated to ensuring comfort, dignity, and compassionate support for both residents and their loved ones during this time.

We are pleased to offer Respite Greenways Care Home. Before admission, we assess each individual’s care needs to determine the appropriate length of stay. Respite care in Glasgow is ideal for those recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery who need extra support before returning to daily life. It is also a valuable option for full-time caregivers in need of a well-earned break.

Every care plan is tailored to the individual and regularly reviewed to ensure it continues to meet their needs. We recognise that health and well-being requirements can change over time, so our approach is very flexible and adaptable. We work closely with residents and their families to create personalised care plans, making adjustments as needed to ensure ongoing comfort and support.

We’re here to make life as easy and enjoyable as possible for our residents. That means providing the care and support they need with things like mobility, personal care, and medical needs, so they don’t have to worry. But well-being is about more than just care, we also offer plenty of ways to stay active, social, and engaged. Whether it’s joining in on activities, picking up a new hobby, or just spending time with others, we make sure there’s always something to look forward to.

Residential care offers 24-hour support with daily tasks like personal care and mobility for those who don’t need ongoing medical attention. Nursing care, on the other hand, also provides round-the-clock support but includes the expertise of a registered nurse available at all times to manage medical needs. The main difference is the level of medical care provided, with nursing care offering that extra layer of medical expertise.

If your care home fees cost more than what your local council is willing to pay, someone else can make up the difference between that figure and the home’s fee, such as a family member.

Fees will be reviewed annually, and any change will be advised at least 4 weeks in advance of any change taking effect.

The current fee uplift is effective in April each year.

There are different methods for paying care home fees. If the individual has been assessed as having eligible care needs and limited financial resources, the local authority may cover part of their care home fees. The amount of funding will depend on the individual’s means.

In Scotland, care home fees are assessed based on an individual’s income and assets. The Scottish Government has a system in place for assessing an individual’s ability to pay for their care home fees, which is based on the principle of “fair and affordable contributions.”

The assessment process takes into account an individual’s income, savings, and capital assets, such as property and investments. The amount of contribution that is expected to be made towards the care home fees is calculated based on these factors.

If an individual’s income and assets are below a certain threshold, they may be eligible for financial assistance from the Scottish Government to help pay for their care home fees. The government may pay some or all of the care home fees, or provide a contribution towards them. Get in touch with the team for more information

When you pay your weekly care home fees at Greenways Care Home, this covers your accommodation, all meals, snacks, drinks, activities, in-house facilities, and local outings (though some excursions may have additional charges). The fees also include all care and support, though certain medical services like dental care or chiropody may come at an extra cost. While we strive to meet all our residents’ needs, some special requests may result in additional charges. Please contact our team for more details on this.
