A new care home is set to open in Glasgow this year - and it will create several jobs for the area.

The new facility - which is called Kelvinside Manor - is being opened by Meallmore.

It will be located on Dorchester Avenue in the city's West End and it will provide facilities that offer 'personalised nursing care and support' for 48 elderly people, including those with dementia and its related conditions.  

Once opened, the newly renovated care home will feature a range of amenities including a café, hair and nail salon, private gardens, dayrooms, and balconies.

It will also create 80 jobs in the area in a variety of roles such as nursing, care assistants, service team members, administrators, and managers - with recruitment for these jobs starting next month.

The facility is expected to open later this year.

Meallmore Regional Director, Carol-Anne Foote, commented: “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, said: “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 the care, hospitality, and social needs with on-site support of a 24-hour nursing team.”
