Welcome to The Mary Aikenhead Centre

The Mary Aikenhead Centre is a 30 bedded unit dedicated to the continuing care of the older person requiring complex medical and nursing care. However, patients can only access admission to the Mary Aikenhead Centre via a referral from the Consultant Geriatrician at Gartnavel Hospital.

Philosophy and Aim of Care
The aim of care is the same as outlined in detail regarding St. Joseph's Ward and is based on the philosophy and core values of the Sisters of Charity.

Arrangements for Admission
Hospice Staff liaise with the Hospital Staff regarding arrangements for admission. Hospital Staff are responsible for arranging patients' transfer to the Hospice. Patients and/or carers may visit the Hospice prior to admission. However, a prior appointment must be made.
