About
Westacres Care Home is a purpose-built, modern home in the residential suburb of Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire, with space for up to 38 residents. It offers residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, and supports people with physical disabilities and mental health needs. The home is regulated by the Care Inspectorate, which graded its setting and staff team Very good, and its wellbeing support, care planning and leadership Good.
The bedrooms are spacious, and the large communal areas are designed to exceed national minimum standards. Regular social activities, from art classes to quiz nights, aim to keep residents moving and engaged, and an on-site catering team prepares meals that take account of individual preferences and dietary needs. The home has its own parking and is served by local bus links. Its dementia support centres on personalised routines and familiar surroundings to reduce stress and confusion.
