Galgorm Care Home
Welcome to Galgorm Care Home
You'll find Galgorm in Ballymena, County Antrim. Here our team of registered nurses, and well trained and dedicated care assistants, provides high quality care around the clock based on each individual's needs.
We offer residential care, nursing, palliative care, and shorter-term respite care, for people of all ages.
Our substantial property has been developed and extended. There's good car parking, and a passenger lift and stairs to both floors. We have large dining rooms and lounges; smaller communal rooms; and toilets, shower rooms and bathrooms throughout the home.
My uncle Tommy was a resident in this care home for many years. The care he received was second to none. It was more than a care home...it was his home, and he loved it there, I have many fond memories of my dear uncle Tommy in the home with the caring staff. The staff were very attentive to my uncle's needs, and he wanted for nothing. He enjoyed the activity programmes that were provided by the home, especially the themed international food days! The home was spotless and the whole atmosphere of the home is very welcoming. The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough and I thank them for looking after my uncle Tommy so well.
A relaxed friendly atmosphere in the home is complimented by excellent food, care, entertainment & caring professional staff. I have now been at the home for six months and I'm very happy and settled.
My dad was so well cared for while in Galgorm care home. I really was content to leave my dad in the very capable hands of all the staff from nurses, carers, domestics and management. My dad was cared for really well in all aspects of his needs and with dignity. He was made to feel like part of a big family. I had bad experiences with another care home so was very apprehensive about leaving dad to someone else's care but the staff were all very reassuring to me and also followed through with anything I asked them to do. I was able to relax at home knowing that my dad was fine. I would have no hesitation to have my dad stay here again, and in fact if dad ever needs to be in a home permanently I would like it to be here.

Colleagues from Laurels Lodge Care Home in Woodside, Havencourt Care Home in Stonehaven and Cumbrae Lodge Care Home in Irvine all came together to do a skydive, raising money for residents in their care and Alzheimer's Scotland.
Tracey Rhodes, Resident Experience Facilitator for Scotland, said: "Everyone was really excited for the jump. One of them hadn't even been in a plane, and they completed it, which was a huge accomplishment. They managed to raise £4,000 which is fantastic. Well done everyone."
Congratulations everyone! We’re all proud of you.

On Friday 12th May 2017 Galgorm Care Home in Ballymena threw the biggest party in the home’s history, marking its 25th birthday.
Lisa McDonald, Home Manager said: “This beautiful home may have been here for 25 years, but it certainly doesn’t look or feel like it. We celebrated with a carnival themed party, complete with a bouncy castle, Irish Dancers, various carnival games and stalls and much more. Everyone had a lovely day and to top it off we raised £396 for the residents’ fund which will help us to continue to provide special experiences for them. I’m hoping we can hold an even bigger celebration in another 25 years’ time.”
