Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge is a listed building close to Cambuslang town centre. Originally an 1888 primary school, the building has been restored and converted, creating a modern care facility but maintaining the charm of the original school.

The home also has a purpose built unit completed in 2004 which has en-suite single rooms providing specialist care for Korskakoff’s psychosis.

There are single rooms containing a wash-hand basin, television and telephone point. Toilet and bathing facilities are close to all rooms and en-suite facilities are also available. The bedrooms are homely and residents are encouraged to bring in their personal items.

Very impressed, arrived at breakfast time on the 29th of December 2024. All staff were busy and the support staff, such as cleaners were active, the place was spotless and we were kindly given access to seats and offered coffee which we kindly declined. Nice food. Visited my uncle's room and again -
spotless. He was also very well turned out, like a shiny new penny.

My mum was a resident in Greencross for 8 months before she passed at the end of December. I can't praise the staff enough for all the help and care that Mum was given during her time there. They are all so kind and caring, not just with Mum but you could see that they felt the same for each and every
one of the residents. My family was made so welcome when we visited and l felt l could walk away after a visit knowing that Mum would be well looked after. Thank you all so much for everything you did for my mum.

Mum is well looked after, although she can be quite hard work at times. All the staff know who/where she is when you phone. They have a good range of activities and events which all the residents seem to enjoy. The social media page is fantastic for me being a bit further away so I can see what she's
up to and where she's been.

We have found Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge to be excellent in the care they have provided. They have shown compassion and care and have provided support to the family when required as well. They have gone above and beyond to make sure everything has been done to ensure a settled transition from the
hospital.

Honestly, there are no words to describe Greencross care home - such a homely environment and all the residents are always so happy and out having fun!
My auntie was diagnosed so young with such a horrible condition stripping her of all independence. Greencross care home has welcomed her with open
arms/ taken such lovely care of her taking into account such precise detail down to her little Pinot Grigio at night time. My auntie is always so smiley when we come to visit and has settled in so well considering the huge life change. The family can't thank you all enough for everything you do. The staff have been amazing and Angie continues to thrive every day in your care! A special thank you to one member of staff in particular.

Mum has been in Greencross Nursing Home for nine months and as a family, we couldn't have asked for a better home for Mum. The staff are excellent and very informative to us regarding Mum's health etc. Mum went in when Covid restrictions were high so visiting was limited and so were activities but now
things are back to normality. Mum is getting out and has enjoyed the fun days with family in the home. I would like to say a particular thank you to the three members of staff who go over and above for Mum and the family. Not that other staff don't, but we have more interaction and involvement with the three of them.

All the staff are very good, all have their relevant Scottish Vocational Qualifications. The food is very good, if there is nothing I like on the daily menu the kitchen will make something for me (no one goes without). The laundry gets collected by night staff, this gets washed and returned the next
day. The rooms are kept clean by the domestics, they are hoovered and dusted every day. We also have a dentist and optician that looks after us when required.

My sister and I have been extremely impressed with the level of care being provided to my dad. He is thriving in this environment. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Myself and my wife selected the nursing home based on its official ratings. We wanted somewhere for my Mum where we could feel sure that she would be comfortable and well looked after by qualified staff. The home and its staff make you feel so welcome as a visitor nothing is too much trouble for them.
My mum has been so well cared for and what is particularly pleasing is the fact that the staff are mostly long term employees which allows a good relationship to build up with the patient in addition they have dedicated care teams for each part the home.

Our dad moved to Green Cross at beginning of November 2019 having been at another care home for a good number of years prior to that. Four months later, Covid 19 struck. We are so blessed as a family to have placed our dad in a place that genuinely cares for him. This has been so important over this
time when we have hardly been able to see him. Every single member of staff are so caring and communication is superb. When speaking with him you can see the affection he holds for the staff members there. Can't thank every one of them enough.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.842)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.842) out of 10 for Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.847 for Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 3.995 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.395

  • 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.
