Kelvinside Manor in the city’s West End has officially welcomed its first residents and their families.
The new facility by Meallmore Ltd will house 48 residents and provide specialist care.
One of the first to move in was Sylvia, whose son, Gordon said: “We feel fortunate indeed to have found such a perfect situation for our mum.
“She is clearly thriving as a result of the care.”
The facility is also expected to create 70 local jobs.

To mark the occasion, Meallmore and Just Imagine Interiors made a joint £750 donation to Glasgow North West Foodbank, based at Blawarthill Parish Church.
After presenting the donation, Veronica Dormer, manager of Kelvinside Manor, said: “We’re so excited to welcome our first residents, helping them settle into the bright and airy rooms and facilities we’ve created here over the past few months.
“As we start building our connections with local groups and residents, we wanted to demonstrate our commitment to the community, recognising the great work that North West Foodbank does to support individuals and families facing food insecurity.
“We’re also very pleased that Just Imagine Interiors, which has done such a beautiful job with our interior fixtures and fittings at Kelvinside, match-funded our own donation to the food bank.”
“We know from our own experience of designing care home interiors how important it is to create connections with local communities.
“So, as well as creating interiors and spaces at Kelvinside Manor which are conducive to that, we decided to support local groups and people with our own donation.”
