About Us

Glencairn House Care Home has operated for ​over 20 years from a tastefully renovated Country House in Auchterarder.

The home is run by a Charitable Trust with a board of volunteer Trustees comprising local business people, professionals and retirees to provide a broad range of skills & experience.

At Glencairn we aim to provide a safe homely atmosphere in which each resident’s needs can be met, whilst taking into account dignity, privacy and security.

We wish to offer each individual resident the opportunity to enhance their quality of life by maximising their potential physical, emotional, social and intellectual capacity through the provision of a safe, comfortable, supportive and stimulating environment.

We also believe its important to communicate with family and friends, in a common goal to achieve the highest quality of life for residents in our home.
