Glen Tanar Residential Home is situated in a quiet residential area close to the Queen’s Promenade in Bispham. The home is convenient for a short stroll to the local shops or the promenade. The home provides care for just 21 ladies and gentlemen. The home has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The home has a large spacious lounge on the ground floor which is tastefully decorated with comfortable chairs. This room has a beautiful large bay window from which the residents can relax and enjoy the views of the garden and watch the passers-by. The dining room is located on the ground floor adjacent to the lounge. The lounge and dining areas are open plan which allows the residents to move easily around.

A choice of menu is available at each meal. Special diets can be catered for. Each meal is freshly prepared using only the finest ingredients. The menu is both wholesome and varied, providing a well-balanced diet.

A digital care planning system is used to create person-centred care plans for each resident. A Care App, which is part of the digital care system, enables care staff to record care notes, which automatically update charts, reports, care plans and many other features.

The bedrooms are tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard. Residents can bring in small items of furniture and personal items to personalise their bedrooms. The home has two shower rooms fitted with facilities to make them suitable for those residents with mobility difficulties.

There is a beautiful lawned garden at the front of the home. A new decking area has recently been added to the front of the home. There is also a small enclosed garden at the rear of the home. Residents can easily access the decking area and the enclosed garden area from the lounge. During the summer months, residents like to enjoy the sunshine, a drink and socialising in the garden areas.

It’s so hard to express in words how grateful we are to have found Glen Tanar. My dad was in Glen Tanar a couple of years ago but then sadly passed away. We have been so fortunate to find a room for our mum there just when she reached the point where she needed extra support. All the staff are so
lovely, so kind and so professional. It makes a huge difference when you know your mum is being cared for with kindness and compassion. By looking after Mum, they’re looking after our whole family. Thank you, everyone at Glen Tanar.

My Mum has been a resident for over two years now, I feel the staff are very caring and loving towards her, they are all very supportive and friendly. I would definitely recommend the rest of the home. Through lockdown, they have still kept in touch with photos and even a video when I go to the window
to wave, they all come and chat to me. For me, it is peace of mind knowing my Mum is being taken care of extremely well. Thank you all so much for looking after my wonderful Mum.

Glen Tanar is like a family home so welcoming nothing is too much trouble, staff are excellent, friendly, caring always available to answer any questions you have or any problems. All the residents seem happy love going and chatting with them all, everyone looks out for each other. The food always looks
lovely and we are welcome to eat with our loved ones if we wish. Mum has settled very well here, she is happy, looked after and safe which is what everyone wants for their loved ones. The home is well managed by a lady who goes above and beyond her role. Always there to listen and to reassure us if we have any concerns, available at any time if you need to speak to her. Would I recommend Glen Tanar to anyone looking for a place for their relatives - absolutely 100% . Couldn't ask for anywhere better for my Mum.

My mum enjoys all aspects of living here. She is cared for with dignity and respect and staff are always there to help. Since lockdown they have made my mum feel safe and secure and have uploaded videos and pictures as well as giving us unlimited access to video chats. Thank you for all you do.

When Mum went into hospital it was decided Mum needed 24/7 care and no longer able to live on her own, especially at night. She was at risk of falling. I was very apprehensive about placing Mum in a home, but we have found the perfect home, which caters for every need. She loves it. All staff are respectful
and courteous to residents. Lots of activities going on. Mum loves going to the seafront for ice cream. Their wishes are catered for when possible. A well-led team.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives, all her needs are met and she is extremely happy and settled. The care home provides activities including parties monthly and she has been on 3 holidays with the care home. My mother has been in this care home for nearly 2 years and has improved in her
mental health as she is no longer lonely, I am completely satisfied that all her needs will continue to be met if she remains at the same level of care.

I visited my friend in this care home. The staff were very friendly on arrival and were all very good to the residents. I knew my friend was in good hands. Everyone that we saw was very polite, very helpful and always looking around paying close attention to the residents. There was one lady that was
particularly attentive. Overall a very nice secure home.

I don't like snack lunches. Just because one resident is so slow with breakfast, everyone has to suffer. Some food is very nice - no complaints. Lacking morning tea and afternoon drink.

Reply from Pamela Mathauda, Director at Glen Tanar

It was agreed at a residents meeting that the residents would like a smaller meal at lunch time and a larger meal at tea time. A main course and a pudding are provided at both meal times. Drinks are provided throughout the day. We have a host of activities on offer which residents are free to participate in or not.

My friend who lives at Glen Tanar is very well looked after, my friend is very happy she laughs with all the staff, my friend looks at the care home as her own home. The staff at Glen Tanar are like one big family, they welcome you in, offer you tea, coffee or anything else. The all seem to enjoy talking
and doing things with them. Taking them out to the shops and the sea front. Nothing seems to be a problem for them. I would recommended this care home to everyone I know as everyone goes beyond their duties.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Glen Tanar is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.938 for Glen Tanar is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.938

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glen Tanar is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
