Meet The Manager
Claribel Durairaj is Home Manager at Craigbank Care Home.
It’s an honour and a pleasure to work at such a warm and welcoming Home. Our dedicated team work hard to ensure that Residents receive the very best care and I’m proud to be Home Manager here at Craigbank. Seeing Residents lead fulfilled lives gives me great joy – that’s what inspires me.
Welcome to Craigbank Care Home in Possilpark, a characterful 61-bedroom Home located within easy reach of Glasgow. Situated within the former grounds of the impressive St Teresa’s Chapel, north of the River Clyde, our Home benefits from a peaceful setting but also by being part of a vibrant community and is only a short walk to local shops and cafes.
As a specialist dementia Care Home, our expertly trained and experienced team provide high-quality person-centred care for older people living with all types of dementia. We understand the specific requirements of dementia care and tailor our support to the individual needs of each Resident who lives at our Care Home in Glasgow. We take the time to get to know their personal preferences, dietary requirements, hobbies and how they like to socialise, so that Craigbank can truly feel like home.
Our compassionate team have created a warm and friendly environment so Residents can live happy and meaningful lives in an environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. There’s always lots going on including visiting entertainers, themed-nights and days out as we are well connected on public transport links and by road. Our Home also enjoys easy access to Edinburgh, along with links to Stirling and Livingston.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
