Meet The Manager
Janet Stoddart is Care Home Manager at Avonbridge Care Home.
We offer first-class nursing care for the elderly on a permanent or respite basis, delivered by highly trained professionals in lovely comfortable surroundings.
Our philosophy is simple; we want everyone to enjoy life to the full. We never forget that all our residents are individuals and we treat them with dignity, privacy and respect while offering freedom of choice and as much independence as possible.
Friends and family are welcome at any time. Hot drinks and snacks are always available to all. Our cook prepares three nutritious meals a day and the menu changes regularly to reflect seasonal produce. Special diets are catered for.
I’d love to show you around the home. So if you should like a tour, or wish to discuss any aspect of elderly care with me, please telephone the home to make an appointment.
Avonbridge Care Home is situated on the banks of the River Avon, next to the historic bridge from which the home takes its name. Being only a short distance from the centre of Hamilton the home is in the midst of a lively community. It is thought of as a community within the community.
