Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My Mum has been in this home for 2 years and has been on the nursing floor for 20 months. The care she has received has been wonderful, they show her the upmost respect and respect her dignity. She is bed bound and cannot do anything for herself but is very happy here and knows she is in the best place,
she smiles everyday which means so much to us, we visit her a lot, the staff are always so helpful and kind to us too.
The staff are very understanding of her needs both from the nursing staff and management. If we have any problems, which are very few they are sorted very quickly.
Her washing is always done very quickly to a good standard and her room is kept clean.
We are glad she's in this home.

My family member has a lovely bright room and enjoys the window view. Great to have a familiar care team and named nurse on each shift to promote individual care and make us feel valued and included re care needs. Good to have the opportunity to meet other residents and relatives for a little bit of
peer support and recent new activities and new menu well received. The personal touch make a big difference to mental wellbeing, such as time for informal chats with care staff, hairdresser, housekeepers etc Appreciation and Thanks for the ongoing commitment and hard work from management and the whole staff team.

My dad has been in McGregor Lane in Balquhidder House for nearly 2 years. At first I was worried about how hed settle in but he's fine & settled & the care & genuine love for my dad from staff is second to none. My only complaint would be, lack of decent outdoor chairs & tables so that residents & families
can sit outside in the warmer weather on the patio area outside the dining room. But overall I'm happy with his care & that gives me peace of mind.

My husband has been in Silver Trees 3 months. He is bed ridden and needs 24 hours care. I've visited everyday and love the way all the staff treat my husband. All of the staff from bottom to top are so caring, friendly and cheerful. This makes such a difference when a person is in bed 24/7. They all
make him smile so I know he is well looked after. I would like to thank all the staff and management for making a difficult time a little easier.

My dad has recently been unwell after 2 falls.
Senior carers from Sandpiper suite have given me regular updates and asked for medical review.
Grateful to all carers for their attention and also to the nurses on ground floor who reviewed him and assisted him back to bed.
It's a tough decision to
put a loved one into care but it's reassuring to know dad is being looked after.
Thank you Swn-Y-Mor Sandpiper suite.

Our mother passed away peacefully in Nursing care at Swn y Mor in December after a long stay at Swn y Mor. At all stages of her time there she was superbly looked after and her needs well supported. The environment is outstanding, the residents rooms are lovely. Cleanliness is outstanding and the food
is excellent. The standard of care cannot be faulted, staff are cheerful, pleasant, personable and excellent at they do, leadership is effective and leaders are visible and accessible. When our mother was able to participate, she hugely enjoyed the activities offered to residents which are led by an outstanding entertainment manager who works especially hard to include residents.
