Reviews for Four Hills Care Home

"Palliative care. Would recommend highly the staff at Four Hills for their care, compassion, very attentive attention to their organisation values. We were made very welcome, nothing was ever a problem and they were always on hand to discuss matters or lend a caring and sympathetic ear. They were superb, very professional and made our journey and that of our mum's, peaceful and comfortable up to the end of her life."

"The experience was very pleasant, and I am extremely grateful for the care and attention my mother is getting. She has improved a great deal since going into Four Hills, and she is happy and feels safe and secure. She said the staff are very attentive. It puts my mind at ease."

"My uncle is receiving Palliative care. He says he feels well looked after and that all the staff are very good. He enjoys the food and feels that he is getting all the care he needs. I feel the precautions taken to allow to visit are warranted and carried out with respect. The staff are all friendly, and I feel satisfied with the care package."

"I had the most wonderful visit with my mum on Tuesday 16th March, who is in Lamb hill unit, Four Hills. Having not seen my mum for many months, I was feeling apprehensive, as my mum has dementia. But I needn't have worried. The whole visit was made so special by the Lamb hill sister in charge and her always wonderful team. My mum looked so cared for and loved, also happy in her wee world, telling me that this was her home, and she loved it and I could see that she did. I was bouncing with happiness after my visit. Once again my endless thanks to each and every one of you. Forever grateful to you all for the sacrifices you made to care for my mum throughout the pandemic. Look forward to seeing you all next week. THANK YOU."

"I cannot praise the staff at Fourhills enough. The care and attention that they provided my mum allowed her to live comfortably in her own space until she passed rather than constant hospital visits (which was a fortnightly occurrence for the 2-years before she moved into the home). Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we were unable to spend as much time with our Mum as we would have liked - it was a terrible time for us as a family, however, the care my mum received, and also the communication that the staff had with us, did help to ease our worry. The staff at this time not only cared for my mum but took the place of her family, and we will be forever grateful for that."

"My dad has been in Four Hills nursing home for some time now, and the care he receives is excellent. All the staff in the Ruchill unit have looked after him very well. Supporting his every need and they know him so well; he has a wicked sense of humour, and they picked up on that right away. He enjoys being there. From the minute you arrive, to the end of your visit there, you are welcomed and the staff are so nice."

"My mother has been in the care home for some time now, and while I was apprehensive at first as to how she would settle, I am very happy with how she has been looked after. She has had lots of attention, and when she was able, she always told me how great the food was. As her dementia has worsened, the level of care has increased, and although I haven't been able to see her for a while, I am more than happy and relaxed that she is in good hands."

"Our mother was only in Four Hills for a few days, following her discharge from hospital. She was very frail, following many years of Alzheimer's and more recently a stroke and sadly passed away shortly after her arrival. However, we were very happy with the quality of the care she received and could see that she was much happier, more relaxed and much more responsive while she was there. She was made very welcome and the staff put a lot of effort into getting to know her and making her feel at home. They cared for her lovingly, and could not have been kinder. We were very grateful for this, especially in her final hours and also for the support provided to ourselves at this time."

"Initially, we were apprehensive as any family would be, but this quickly changed and we just cannot thank the whole staff within Four Hills enough. The professional way and the care they gave throughout to my mother-in-law's time there was exceptional and always given with kindness, dignity and thoughtfulness. We will be forever grateful for making a difficult time so much better."

"Four Hills Care Home was exactly the care my aunt needed in her final days. The staff did everything (and more) to treat, support and comfort her. After she passed, the staff made sure, I and my family were informed immediately, took care of every detail and continued to help with advice and arrangements."

"My aunt was initially admitted in August 2018 to the Firhill unit. She received excellent care from the team leader and his team, we also felt cared for and supported. The thought of a loved one moving into a residential care setting is daunting but in our case, with the help of the staff at Four Hills, the reality was so much better than we ever imagined. My aunt was so settled and content that we sought to make her temporary placement a permanent one. She was transferred to the Lambhill unit in October 2018. The team leader of this unit and her excellent team welcomed her warmly. Her room was lovely, warm and inviting and we enjoyed spending time with her there. The day rooms were a wee bit less fresh, although that didn't seem to bother my aunt. She thoroughly enjoyed the freshly prepared meals and weekly trips to the onsite hairdresser. Sadly, my aunt passed away in hospital in May 2019 after a short illness. We are so very thankful to the team leader and the Lambhill team and will never forget their care and commitment."

"From the minute you park your car (the gardener is always pleasant), the grounds are immaculate, to the friendly receptionist, always happy to have a chat with you. The Four Hills unit staff are simply amazing, warm, helpful, funny, the whole place is spotless (the cleaning never stops). I'm amazed at how the other staff in place even know my mum and always say hi when passing. Genuinely sad to be moving, I can't say a bad word about the place."

"Dad was a resident for 4 months and we as a family are so happy with the care he received, he was treated with dignity and respect by everyone and staff treated him more like family. When we as a family had to spend a week of overnight stays we were looked after just as well as the residents. Four Hills is a very happy place with lots going on for the residents, I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone, thank you so much for caring for dad right to the end of his life."

"Our aunt was transferred from Glasgow Royal Infirmary to Four Hills for palliative care and she was very worried about "going into a home". When we visited her on her first day we were very impressed with the ambience and overall condition, appearance and feeling of the home. We cannot overstate the level of personal care and attention ALL of the carers in Firhill section provided to us personally as relatives and visitors, and more importantly the care that our aunt received during her short stay at Four Hills. The knowledge that everyone at Four Hills eased the passing of our beloved aunt made our experience considerably less anxious and more bearable. MANY THANKS TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE FOUR HILLS TEAM."

"My dad was transferred from the royal infirmary Glasgow to Four Hills for palliative care where the staff have been lovely to my dad, nothing is too much for any of the staff as dad is getting better I would just like to say a big thank you to all the staff for Excellent care. Dad has his up's and downs, the staff could see this so would leave him to come round.. BIG THANK YOU"

"My father was cared for in the Lambhill Unit by wonderful staff who not only looked after him but the whole family. Nothing was a bother and made us feel still very much part of his care. My dad loved the banter with the staff and had a wicked sense of humour which he maintained to the end. In the last few days of my dad's life the staff went about the business with compassion, care, understanding and were very unobtrusive when dealing with such a painful situation for family. Sadly I was unable to be there with my dad at the end, my sisters were, as I live in Australia but never in his time there did the staff make me feel I was a nuisance when I called. The care he received was second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending Fourhills to anyone looking for a care facility for their loved one. The staff made us feel they treated the residents like their own family, sadly something not every care home does. Some areas looked tired but the care made up for that."

"Dad's diabetes has been out of control for some months whilst in hospital. Four Hills nursing and care staff have made significant efforts to control his blood sugar by testing his blood up to six times a day adjusting his insulin as required and carefully receiving his food intake. He has other health problems which exacerbate diabetes and they have helped to manage and control his condition while dealing expertly and sympathetically with is other problems."

"Mum received palliative care in the Firhill Unit from August 2017 until she passed away in November. During her stay, she was treated with nothing but love and kindness. At the slightest sign of any pain or discomfort, Mum was treated quickly and appropriately by the nursing team so that she was able to live out her final weeks in relative comfort. The care staff made sure that Mum was clean and comfortable and also paid attention to her medical needs in addition to their normal duties. All staff treated Mum as an individual, and their warmth and humour made things so much easier to bear. Many of them went ‘above and beyond’ what we would have expected. As a family, we could not have got through Mum’s final days and hours without the support of all the staff. They provided reassurance and comfort, brought us food, gave us hugs and sent us home for rest when we were on our knees. When Mum passed away, she was treated with such dignity - we couldn’t have asked for more."

"Dad was in Four Hills for almost a month with a terminal illness. Staff worked to make him feel at home and were universally kind. The home was spotlessly clean, warm and well ventilated. Rooms are small, which made it difficult for staff using equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers and toilet equipment. Food was excellent with plenty of choices, served in various locations or residents’ rooms according to their preference. I was not aware of any activities but dad receives a thoughtful gift from Santa. Staff provided excellent care for dad as he deteriorated, protecting him from falls and ensuring he was as comfortable as possible. The carers were always upbeat with a sense of humour, ensuring his dignity was preserved and nothing was a bother. Nurses were open and responsive to my queries and concerns. It was tricky contacting the off-site doctor for permission to alter treatment. Staff ensured I was supplied with tea and meals while sitting with Dad. A well-run home."

Staff are fab and keep you up to date with things and are all so lovely. My mum is so happy there, always keep them occupied with stuff. Her room is nice and clean. I see a great improvement in her. I would highly recommend Four Hills."
