Abercorn House Care Home in Hamilton

At Abercorn House Care Home in Hamilton, our dedicated team provide offers nursing care, dementia care, palliative and respite care.

Our residents are the voice of Abercorn House and are actively engaged in everything that happens here. They drive the decisions on everything from the style of the soft furnishings following the recent refurbishment to suggesting new ideas for recipes they love to see on the menu. The residents are very much in the driving seat and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

The team listens very carefully to what makes their residents happy, especially when it comes to what they enjoy spending their time doing. Many love to visit the dementia gardens in the grounds of Hamilton Academical Football Club, as well as taking advantage of the private dementia-friendly cinema screenings that they enjoy at this club. They really do get the VIP treatment.

Stimulating activities for our residents

Situated in the Low Waters area, our Hamilton nursing home is close to the town centre. With our own minibus, we have lots of options available for trips and excursions further afield across South Lanarkshire.

Our residents are excited to be planning for a garden makeover, choosing everything from the design and layout to the plants and the type of furniture they would like.

This year the team and residents at Abercorn House are also planning the home’s first summer dance. The dance is taking place at a mining club in Hamilton and is something everyone is very excited about.

The home also has its own family room which can be used to give loved ones' space and privacy to celebrate special family occasions.

Respite care breaks

Abercorn House Care Home provides respite care breaks for those requiring short-term immediate and emergency care. Respite care enables carers to take a break of their own, safe in the knowledge that their loved one is in safe hands.

As well as providing additional support following a hospital stay, respite is also a great way to see if permanent care could be for you or a loved one.
