Millview Care Home Barrhead, Glasgow

Welcome to Millview
When youre looking for a care home, either for yourself or a loved one, its important that you feel confident with your decision. This means choosing somewhere that offers the highest standards of care, comfort and support, with friendly and experienced staff who really get to know the resident and provide care thats individual to them.
Situated in Barrhead, a residential area of Glasgow just four miles from Paisley town centre, Millview is on a main bus route and has shops within walking distance. The home has been specifically designed to meet the needs of residents primarily with elderly dementia care or daily nursing and residential care needs. As youd expect from Bupa, our standards of care are second to none, and we employ highly trained registered nurses and care assistants who provide 24-hour professional support. At Bupa, we appreciate that every resident is different, so each person living with us has their own personal plan thats unique to them. This covers not only their care needs, but also their personal preferences and tastes. We also ask residents and their relatives to complete a Map of Life so we can really get to know each resident, and meet their emotional and social as well as physical needs. We also offer our staff plenty of specialist training, including our award-winning Personal Best customer service programme. Bupa Care Services is one of the largest organisations to have Investor in People status, reflecting this commitment to training and development.

A warm, homely environment.

Whether theyre staying with us long-term or just for a short period, we want every resident to feel very much at home. We welcome visitors at any time, and we take care to create comfortable, homely surroundings. We believe in striking a balance between providing care and support when its needed, and helping the resident to maintain their independence and we encourage each resident to lead as full and active a life as possible. Our warm, friendly atmosphere means that our residents can continue their daily lives with privacy and dignity, in a safe, caring environment.

Our home
A modern, purpose-built home, Millview has been carefully designed to create a pleasant, well equipped home with help and companionship on hand. Four spacious, well furnished lounges and two dining areas provide a meeting place for residents to relax and entertain guests. With a quiet room as well as our activities taking place around the home, there is always a place to socialise, watch television or simply spend some quiet time. We know how important it is to keep in touch with friends and family, so our door is always open to guests.

Millview also has an easily accessible landscaped garden and patio area, where residents can sit on sunny days, enjoy the water feature in the sensory garden or take afternoon tea with guests. Various activities and an annual fete are also held outside. Our single bedrooms are all en-suite and attractively decorated to a high standard, with some having views over the gardens. Each has a telephone and aerial point, thermostatic radiators, smoke detectors and a 24-hour nurse call system. To make their rooms feel as much like home as possible, we encourage residents to bring in their own belongings, such as pictures and ornaments.

Fresh and varied meals

Meals are an important part of the day at Millview, and our experienced chef creates a wide range of balanced, nutritious dishes, prepared daily using only the freshest produce. Residents can choose to eat in our dining rooms, or in their bedrooms if they prefer. All our menus are nutritionally checked, and our chef caters for all tastes and diets and we will discuss our residents preferences and any special requirements they may have. We also serve biscuits with mid-morning tea or coffee, and cake with tea and coffee in the afternoon and drinks in the evening. residents day and offer them something to look forward to. This is why we like to look at daily tasks, such as flower arranging or helping to tidy up, as activities rather than chores. We also appreciate how important it is to offer variety. So our activity co-ordinator ensures theres always something enjoyable and stimulating to do for residents of all abilities from reminiscence therapy to quizzes and art club - plus visits from local entertainers and musicians. We also have a mobile hairdresser who visits weekly. Activities dont just take place in the home as we organise visits to local places of interest such as the local garden centre and Barrhead shops and caf.
