We love a day out, whether it’s a trip to the Kelpies, a coastal visit, or perhaps the Low Parks Museum in Hamilton. Oh, and a spot of Ten Pin Bowls!

Overall Rating
What an outstanding care home. I attended the care home to deliver an interactive party session and from start to finish, I felt very welcome by staff. A lovely environment and staff were full of enthusiasm. The attention to detail from staff with each individual resident was so lovely to see and they communicated really well with individuals throughout to ensure they felt secure and heard. Looking forward to returning.
Visited the home on day of dog show, it was a great atmosphere and i was made feel really welcome by manager and staff.
The staff here are outstanding. My gran is 101 and not only do the care for her needs they really know her. Everyone takes the time to chat, ask how she is who’s been visiting, did she enjoy her meal etc. It’s just lovely place to visit and she’s sooo loved. I’d give an extra star if I could
I have visited the home many times over the years for fundraising events (Summer fete, coffee mornings etc). The staff are always so welcoming and create a great atmosphere for visitors as well as the residents.
I went to lornebank today as part of doggy show they were putting on for the resident . My daughter and I were made to feel so welcome. My dog harvey had a ball all the resident loved him and he loved all the treats on offer too. The resident all looked really happy and relaxed.
We had a absolutely beautiful afternoon at Lornebank Care Centre today for their first-ever Dog Show! Our dog, Lottie, had the absolute best time—she loved meeting new doggie friends and was thoroughly spoiled by the lovely lady giving out endless treats. A massive thank you to Karen and Jane who were the most fantastic hosts and did a fab job running the event. A big shout out to the judges as well, who were absolutely lovely! It was such a great event, and it was truly heartwarming to see all the residents smiling, laughing, and enjoying themselves. We are already looking forward to the next event! Love the Traynor family

Our meals
Meal times are when we all come together in each of the dining areas on each floor. We do this between 12-30pm and 13-30pm each day, so please keep visiting at these hours to a minimum. As you can appreciate, it gets pretty busy, and for our residents, it’s an important time.
Chef always likes to use locally sourced, seasonal fare whenever possible, but meals are always tasty and comforting. Our chef likes to follow the food and check that residents are happy with the dishes and that all dietary requirements are being met. We have been known to grow our own herbs, so sometimes the ingredients are very local indeed!

Jane Aitken
Meet our manager
My name is Jane and I am the general manager at Lornebank Care Centre. Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer here at our nursing home in Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
I recently joined Hudson healthcare in May 2026 previously having worked across NHS and private sector covering roles such as general manager, senior general manager and recently regional director. I qualified as a nurse in 2006 have achieved my degree in nursing at Stirling university. Fifteen years of management experience has allowed me to bring experience that I am sure will benefit resident outcomes and make Lornebank a great home choice for the residents.
I am fortunate to have two grown up children and four grandsons who live close by to me. I share my home with my partner and Baillie, who is my loveable boy, pet Shih tzu.
Swimming and walking are how I enjoy my free time alongside reading the odd Danielle Steele novel.

FAQs
Lornebank provides expert nursing care for the frail elderly and dedicated dementia care. The home is divided into five distinct units, allowing us to tailor the environment and clinical support to the specific needs of each resident, from early-stage support to complex nursing requirements.
You can find us at 3 Lorne Street in Hamilton (ML3 9AB). We are ideally situated for families across South Lanarkshire, sitting just a three-minute walk from Hamilton West railway station. This central location makes us highly accessible from Motherwell, Blantyre, Bothwell and East Kilbride.
Unlike many nursing homes in Hamilton, we pride ourselves on maintaining a stable, non-agency staff team. This ensures that our residents see familiar faces every day, which is especially vital for those in our dementia units where routine and trust are essential for well-being.
Absolutely. We believe in total transparency. In addition to direct communication with our nursing team, we share regular updates and photos on our social media pages. This allows families to see the “meaningful moments” their loved ones enjoy, from therapeutic animal visits to social café sessions.
We operate at or near to full capacity but we often have a room free as the situation is very fluid. If we are full, we operate a waiting list, but at this current moment, we have a handful of rooms available. This is updated weekly.
