Meet The Manager
Stacey Blackburn is Deputy Manager at Golfhill Care Home.
I have 20 year’s experience as a nurse working in a variety of healthcare settings. I have been working at Golfhill for 3 years. I have two children who make me very proud every day one is at secondary school and the other is out working. I enjoy going for walks and listening to music. We have a wee dog called Charlie who causes complete mischief and is always looking for attention. I enjoy working in Golfhill and feel at home as I grew up not far away from the home. I am fully committed to Golfhill and working together with our fantastic team to provide the best care for our residents everyday.
Welcome to Golfhill Care Home in Glasgow. Our purpose-built Home is located in the vibrant residential area of Dennistoun, once voted one of the world’s ‘coolest’ neighbourhoods! Conveniently positioned north of the River Clyde, just over a mile east of the heart of Glasgow, we’re well served by public transport with easy city centre access.
Golfhill is organised into four spacious self-contained bungalows each specialising in a different type of care, from dementia support to helping those living with Parkinson’s. The Houses, which also cater for people who may be convalescing or require palliative care, are staffed around-the-clock by our dedicated Colleagues providing the very best person-centred care.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

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.
