Save John Galt services

I'm signing because my parents just moved here a couple of years ago. They moved here because of the fact there were wardens who took care of the place and arranged activities. Something which River Clyde representatives explicitly expressed at the time they visited to view the property, and is one of the main reasons my parents decided to move here. The wardens hard work has greatly improved my parents quality of life, and the weekly activities and events are something they really look forward to. To take this service away is a severe detriment to the social needs and wellbeing of the residents.

My Mum lived in John Gault house many many years ago and I knew with the wardens she had a safe place and they were there if needed.

I am a carer in the community and I know how much of a life line the wardens are for the residents that live there. And the service that they provide is absolutely brilliant.

These wardens are a lifeline for the elderly and vulnerable. To take them away would be a disaster waiting to happen.

This is a vital service to provide safe and much needed support for many elderly and vulnerable individuals to stay safely in their own homes and have interests and activities that they don’t have to travel to get to. people moved there because they thought they would have same level of support throughout their tenancy and it’s unfair to take that away

These residents should be able to keep wardens as they make living in john gault house a happy place. They all love the wee celebration parties aswell as feeling safe.

All the reasons given above! The safety, security and wellbeing of residents will be compromised. Alarm systems have their place but nothing can replace the interaction with another human being. As stated above, the wardens help counteract loneliness and isolation; the power of that cannot be understated. They can pre empt issues, concerns and situations and prevent them from becoming more serious.

My grand parents where in sheltered housing for a number of years before being moved to full time care and the wardens were absolute god sends in the sheltered housing. As a family we all felt safer knowing someone was looking in on them when we couldn’t. The wardens would arrange social gatherings within the complex allowing my grandparents to socialise safely as they were not fit enough to go out and about anymore. My grandparents also felt safer with the wardens than when they did when they lived in a flat. This service is so vital to many people within our community and if removed would be devastating.

The Wardens help to arrange activities and days for the residents to take part in. They are key for helping the running of the House and are essential for residents wellbeing.

The residents are vulnerable and need help and support that the wardens give, especially those without family. To take away this element of care is unconscionable.

My mother in law resided here many years ago, the activities and work done by these wardens are essential to the elderly in these complexes, take this service away and you will destroy these elderly people who rely on them.

Im signing because my late brother lived in sheltered housing and I I always worried about leaving him alone.
First you removed the live in warden and now these vulnerable people are to be completely abandoned.
Shame on you!!

It's so much what the elderly deserve ,it's a vital service and for their safety and for some is the reason they make the decision to have sheltered housing as their home ,so can you please reconsider the decision for our aging population

The residents at John Galt House need and deserve the presence of wardens to help make them feel safe and secure in their homes. Someone to be there in times of need, a calming influence to alay any fears in stressful situations. Giving them peace of mind to enjoy there homes.

Anne McLaughlin (2026-05-08)
