Two of our residential care homes rated ‘very good’ in latest inspection

Two of our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Residential Care Homes have been praised in their most recent inspections carried out by the Care Inspectorate.

Riverside Care Home and Victoria Gardens Care Home each received a rating of ‘Very Good’ across all key areas during the unannounced visits in June and July 2025.

The inspection involved conversations with residents and their families, staff members and an external professional. The staff and residents were observed during the day and documents were reviewed to check compliancy.

The inspection reports highlight the warmth, compassion and professionalism of our HSCP’s team, the strong relationships with residents and families and the high-quality, person-centred care provided every day. From meaningful activities and personalised care plans to a welcoming, well-maintained environment, this recognition reflects the dedication and heart of everyone at the care homes.

One resident said: “The staff spend time with me, they’re just fantastic”, whilst a relative commented: “They’re great, they know her so well”.  

Robin Wallace, Head of Older People, Residential and Day Care Services for our HSCP said: “A huge thank you to the incredible staff, supportive families and partners who make our residential care homes such a special place to live and work.  This achievement is yours, and we couldn’t be prouder! This is a proud moment for us all, and a powerful reminder of the impact of compassionate, person-centred care.”
