Rutherglen Society Ltd

Abbeyfield Rutherglen Society is a voluntary organisation located in a quiet residential area of Rutherglen, which comes from the Scottish Gaelic an ruadh-ghleann meaning 'the red valley'.

It comprises three modern purpose-built houses all on one site, within large well maintained gardens including a beautiful Jubilee garden:

McMillan House - Sheltered House
Templeton House - Care Home
Extra Care House - Nursing Home


This care and support is delivered by a team of highly trained, well managed staff, who we believe are the secret to providing the highest quality care. All our houses are open for people aged over 65 years.
