About
St. Francis Care Home is a nursing home in Govan, Glasgow, that has provided care for older people since 1974. It offers long-term nursing care and respite care, and it supports residents whose needs range from high physical dependence to frailty and confusion. The home has 40 registered beds, all in single rooms, and it can also accept couples or siblings by combining two rooms into a twin. The purpose-built building opened in 1996, with a lift linking the two floors, wheelchair-friendly doorways, two sunny dining rooms, and landscaped grounds and gardens. A chapel sits near the entrance. The home runs on non-denominational lines under the Order of St Francis, with Franciscan Sisters among the staff, and it welcomes residents of other faiths.
The Care Inspectorate graded the home's staff team Very good, its setting Very good, and its care and support planning Very good. It graded how well residents' wellbeing is supported Good, and its leadership Adequate.
