About
Olympia House is a care home in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Glasgow City Centre, with 72 registered beds across three separate units. It provides dementia, nursing and respite care, and supports people with physical disabilities, mental health needs and learning disabilities. The McQueen Unit was opened in partnership with the Social Care Partnership to provide mental health care. Placement follows an assessment of each person's needs.
The home is a 10-minute drive from the city centre, and the local train station is a five-minute walk away. Glasgow Green, shopping centres, libraries and cafés are nearby. Residents have three garden areas, a minibus for outings, weekly hairdresser visits and weekly visits from fitness groups. The Care Inspectorate graded wellbeing support, care planning, setting, staff team and leadership as Good.
