At Glenburn Rest Home and Hospital, we believe in laughter – to lighten the day, and bring everyone together. Life is about living and having fun – and this doesn’t change when you come to Glenburn. It’s part of how we care.
Our passion is to make each day as enjoyable as it can be – for each of our residents, and for our wonderful team of staff. We can influence this through the way we bring care to people, the choices we can give them, and the activities we provide. The quality of our care and our reputation in the community goes without saying. Health and circumstances might have changed, but underneath it all, we can still create enjoyment. We invite you to meet our team and see for yourself. You can always expect a warm welcome. “Laughter is part of the human survival kit.” Glenburn is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms. We are a private company, and because we have no shareholders, we can invest what we earn to make improvements that help us provide better care.
