Collisdene Care Centre

With a strong focus on enablement, our three small group living environments provide 24-hour individualised nursing care for people with Learning Disabilities including physical and sensory impairment. Furnished to the highest standard, all of our houses have domestic facilities and single rooms, the majority of which are en-suite.

Our priority is making our residents feel at home in a safe and welcoming environment. Our highly trained team support each individual in living as independently as possible, helping them to reach their full potential. This is backed up with multi-skilled nursing teams who work with a person-centred approach, tailored to residents' individual needs.

Each of our three houses has a dedicated Activities Organiser. They provide a range of activities to residents to promote stimulation and wellbeing. We are also proud to have partnered with the ‘Oomph On Demand’ digital activities platform. While we are unable to welcome external activity partners into the centre due to coronavirus restrictions, this allows our residents to enjoy virtual entertainment and exercise classes whenever they wish.

We are currently welcoming enquiries and viewings. Making an appointment allows us to spend more time with you. Please contact our Care Centre Manager, to arrange a viewing or to ask for a brochure. We look forward to meeting you!

Meet the Manager

Liz Williamson, Care Home Manager

A warm welcome to our three care units in the historic market town of Strathaven.

At Collisdene we have three different houses, helping us to support a wide range of client needs in small group settings.

Castle View is the largest house at Collisdene, catering for those with learning disabilities who have complex nursing needs.

Park View is designed to support our more able residents with learning disability needs. The smaller of our three houses, it is perfect for those who may benefit from a quieter, more relaxed environment.

Avon House offers varying levels of support for male clients specifically with emotional and behavioural challenges.

With a highly trained and dedicated team, our focus is on supporting all of our residents to achieve the maximum independent lifestyle possible.

For me, the thing that stands out about Castle View, Park View and Avon House is their affinity with the local community and vice-versa. Under normal circumstances, many of our residents would be out and about going bowling, going to the cinema, going for meals and attending local groups. We would also get involved in local events and with local charities in the town regularly.

During the coronavirus pandemic, the team here have worked hard to innovate using technology to maintain our community links and residents’ active lifestyles virtually instead.

We pride ourselves on providing a real family environment in all three of our houses, with some members of our team and residents having been a part of the family for over 20 years. Our staff are proactive, engage with our residents wonderfully and find working here incredibly rewarding, as do I!

I would love to help you with your search for care and answer any questions you may have. Please contact me on 01357 684956 for an informal chat.
