Glengeith Farmhouse is a childrens’ home carefully selected for its rural location, situated in the breathtaking countryside of South Lanarkshire.
Glengeith has three upstairs bedrooms created in-house; designed with young people in mind, with wall mounted TV and games console cabinets matching bed, wardrobe, desk and drawers. The bathroom is shared by the young people and is designed and fitted to a high standard with shower, sink, bath and WC.
Downstairs there is an additional bedroom and shared communal areas including a spacious open plan living room, a large spacious kitchen, dining room, utility room and WC.
Externally the home is surrounded by a well-established garden with flower beds, raised beds for planting vegetable all utilised by the children/young people. The garden is tranquil and relaxing.
Our care team at Glengeith are trained in Child Protection and Safeguarding, Health and Safety, First Aid, Food Hygiene and Crisis Aggression Limitation and Management training as well as having access to a vast array of training programmes based on their own individual needs and interests. All staff are trained in the Therapeutic Parenting Training Programme that has been specifically designed by the organisation to ensure that we provide the children and young people we care for with the highest standards of trauma informed care.
Staff provide a 24 hour wrap around care experience for our young people, from the basic care needs of the individual to developing strength-based care plans and appropriate risk management plans to support the growth and development of the young person. Staff work in line with the Health and Social Care Standards (2017), the Care Inspectorate Quality Standards Framework and the SSSC Codes of Conduct to ensure best practice is at the core of our service delivery.
At Glengeith we recognise that living away from home can be difficult for young people and those who love them. We view the opportunity to care for the young person as a privilege and endeavour to ensure that their journey with us is a fulfilling experience and enhances their lifelong skills.

At Glengeith, we support children and young people through Therapeutic Parenting. By working therapeutically, we help change behaviours from those driven by a desire to self-harm to those where self-care feels a more satisfying option. The home receives the invaluable support of a dedicated in-house psychologist.
