Our family caring for your family
Glenburnie Lodge offers a range of different types of quality care, each tailored to meet your individual needs whether that is a short break, residential or nursing care. As a home for life, you can have peace of mind that if your needs change over time, Glenburnie Lodge offers the full spectrum of care you may need.
Comfort and safety
At Glenburnie Lodge, you can have peace of mind that your safety and comfort are our top priority and that assistance is always at hand. We use the very latest state-of-the-art equipment including nurse-call and falls monitoring systems which is available in every room.
Keeping everyone active & independent
You will be supported to continue to live an active and enriched life, as independently as possible, with all the care and support you need. Our range of activities offer choices which everyone can enjoy; individually, in groups and with families and visitors, both in your private room or in shared social spaces. From physical activity to mentally stimulating options and from entertainment to hobbies, we believe activity is for everyone, and is just as important as physical care.
Quality and comprehensive care
Nursing
We provide 24-hour nursing care, ensuring residents and their families have peace of mind knowing support is always at hand. At Glenburnie Lodge, our highly skilled teams, including on-site Registered General Nurses, are dedicated to meeting the unique and complex needs of every resident.
Residential
For those living independently who need little support but enjoy companionship, our luxury residential homes are the perfect solution. Combining the amenities of a 5-star hotel with the reassurance that help is always available, we create a welcoming space where residents can enjoy life to the fullest.
Dementia
Living with dementia can be challenging for both individuals and their families. At Dormy Care Communities, we believe in delivering personalised dementia care. Our compassionate, highly trained team takes the time to understand each resident's needs, helping them live comfortably and positively with dementia.
Respite
Whether you need a break, post-operative rehabilitation, or simply a short holiday, we offer respite stays with nursing care available if needed, subject to availability.
Palliative
As a family, we want you and your loved one to feel reassured that you can remain at Glenburnie Lodge. During this challenging time, we will work closely with St David’s Hospice and the community team to provide the support and care you need.

How is care personalised for each individual?
Every new lady or gentleman undergoes a thorough assessment by our experienced care team to understand their physical, emotional, and social needs. From this, a bespoke care plan is created in consultation with them, and their family. Care plans are regularly reviewed and adapted to ensure our ladies and gentlemen receive the most appropriate support as their needs change.
How does Glenburnie Lodge support those with dementia?
Our dementia care approach is centred on providing a safe, structured environment that reduces anxiety and promotes familiarity. Staff receive ongoing dementia-specific training to support communication and behaviour management. Activities are designed to stimulate memory and cognitive function, including reminiscence therapy, music, and art. The living spaces are clearly marked and designed to be easy to navigate.
Can individuals move between different types of care if their needs change?
One of the key benefits of Glenburnie Lodge is its ability to offer seamless transitions between care types without the need to relocate. For example, an individual starting with residential care can move to nursing or dementia care within the home if their condition changes, ensuring continuity and stability.
How does Glenburnie Lodge handle medication management?
Medication is managed by our trained nursing and care staff following strict protocols. Prescriptions are reviewed regularly with GPs and pharmacists to ensure safety. Our ladies and gentlemen are supported with timely administration and monitoring of their medications based on their specific needs.
