Abercorn House Care Home in Lanarkshire

Our team – dedicated and fearless!

The team are completely dedicated to the residents and we have many staff who have worked at Abercorn House for over 15 years. They, like the residents feel very much at home. There is a very special feeling when you walk through that door, something people often compliment us on. 

This year, we have very brave members of staff going to do a sky dive to raise money towards buying a pioneering piece of equipment known as a ‘Magic Table’ for the home. It stimulates people living with dementia to engage with one another through interactive light games which are projected onto a table. The table has been a huge hit in some of Sanctuary Care’s other homes outside of South Lanarkshire.

Stimulating activities in later life

Staff have been amazed at how certain residents, who are sometimes more reluctant to take part in activities, love using the magic table. They will sit and engage with their fellow residents and the team by playing these simple and fun games.

Situated in the Low Waters area in Hamilton, our care home is close to the town centre. With our own minibus, we have lots of options available for trips and excursions further afield across South Lanarkshire.

Our residents are excited to be planning for a garden makeover, choosing everything from the design and layout to the plants and the type of furniture they would like.

This year the team and residents at Abercorn House are also planning the home’s first summer dance. The dance is taking place at a mining club in Hamilton and is something everyone is very excited about.

The home also has its own family room which can be used to give loved ones the space and privacy to celebrate special family occasions.
