About

Glendale Lodge is a private residential care home in the village of Townhill, just outside Dunfermline in Fife. It has 15 registered beds and provides care for people living with dementia. The home is set in a quiet village, with easy access to nearby shops, churches and the greenery of Pittencrieff Park. Residents can take part in hobbies and regular activities, take walks in the garden and share meals together, and pet therapy sessions are offered. Personal care and daily assistance are arranged around each resident's needs, along with visits from GP and dental services, physiotherapy, chiropody and regular hairdressing appointments.
