Airthrey Care Home

Overall Experience

Mum went into Airthrey Care Home in Feb 2024 following a traumatic year in hospital, rehabilitation and assessment. She was very distressed throughout this time however could not go home due to her progressing medical issues. Our first choice was Airthrey and soon after arriving Mum reported feeling

'safe'. Staff and other residents soon felt like our family. We were always kept up to date with Mum's health and wellbeing and felt confident in the level of care and affection she was receiving. This was particularly important for our dad during this difficult time. When Mum became ill in December we were humbled by the care and concern shown to her and our family from all staff. Many visited Mum to say goodbye and comfort us before ending their shift. The practical and emotional support offered enabled us to stay with Mum for three days and nights until she died. Without exception, we are indebted to all members of staff and are forever thankful we chose Airthrey to care for our mum.

Reply from Cameron, Airthrey Care Home Representative at Airthrey Care Home

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and moving review of Airthrey Care Home. We are deeply touched by your words and grateful that we could provide your mum and family with comfort and support during such a challenging time. It means so much to know that your mum felt safe and cared for and that our team was able to be there for you all, both practically and emotionally. Your recognition of the care and compassion shown by our staff is truly humbling and reinforces the values we strive to uphold every day. Thank you for trusting us to care for your mum and for sharing your experience. Your kind words mean the world to our team.

Overall Experience

My aunt was fortunate enough to move into Airthrey Care Home during the summer of 2024. The home itself is a modern, well-planned building, with spacious en suite rooms. The staff keep it immaculate and well heated for the time of year. They spend a lot of time and effort ensuring that each resident

is treated as an individual. They are caring and concerned and nothing is too much trouble. My aunt is quite a fussy eater and they will go to the trouble of making an individual meal for her that she enjoys. There is no shortage of cups of tea at any time of the day. They encourage her to be the best version of herself that she can be. She always looks smart and clean and her clothes are kept in immaculate condition. She's encouraged to liaise with other residents and now has a few friends that she enjoys spending time with. My aunt's move into this care home has been a hugely positive experience for her and has improved her quality of life a lot. I'd have no hesitation in recommending it.

Reply from Airthrey Manager, Manager at Airthrey Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are delighted that your aunt has settled into Airthrey so well and making new friends.

An excellent care home, very welcoming, visually and personally. The staff are genuinely caring and work in a professional manner and an empathetic way towards my daughter.

Overall Experience

My dad was in this home before he passed in November. We checked on the home before Dad went in and got great unannounced audits and great feedback from family who have a member of their family as resident. The staff are brilliant, all of them are so dedicated and hard-working. They made us, as a family,

always welcome and when Dad was dying, went the extra mile with me, my mum and my sister to do anything they could when Dad was poorly. They made us sandwiches and tea and coffee They checked on me when I stayed all night. They helped me out with a phone charger and were so loving with Dad. It's made his passing easier to know he was so well looked after by all. We, as a family, will be forever grateful.

Reply from Cameron, Care Home Representative at Ivybank House Care Home

Overall Experience

Excellent care provided to my father over the past three years of being a resident at Ivybank House Care Home. All the staff are professional, caring and friendly and get to know the residents and spend time with them whether it's the care assistants/housekeeping/laundry/catering/handyman/administrator/manager.

My father is always made to feel special and included in all the appropriate activities and entertainment that he enjoys. There is a dedicated activities assistant who ensures that there is a varied and enjoyable daily activities programme so that fun and entertainment can be enjoyed by all, all year round. To those who can't always participate in activities, dedicated one-to-one time is spent with them instead, playing games, listening to favourite music or chatting. The daily lunch and dinner food menus are excellent and provide much variety every day. I would strongly recommend Ivybank House Care Home as a safe and enjoyable care home for any elderly person requiring 24/7, 365 care needs.

Reply from Cameron, Care Home Representative at Ivybank House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share your father's positive experience at Ivybank House Care Home. We are heartened to hear that our comprehensive approach to care, encompassing not just our care assistants but also our housekeeping, laundry, catering, handyman, administrator, and management teams has created a nurturing and inclusive environment for your father. It's wonderful to know that our activities program and personalised attention ensure that all residents, regardless of their ability to participate in group activities, feel valued and entertained. We're also glad that our varied daily menus meet your father's dietary needs and preferences. Your strong recommendation is greatly appreciated and we remain dedicated to providing a safe, enjoyable and caring environment for all our residents.

Overall Experience

Very hardworking staff. They make time to help and explain any queries that I have had about my mum's care. Her room is very good with quality furnishings and well decorated. She has her own bits and bobs which has never been an issue to put up on the walls. Well-maintained, any reported problems are

dealt with timeously. Excellent contacts with myself when there is a need to escalate a serious issue which is clearly explained and the actions that are being put in place. Very good quality food to suit my mum's diet requirements. Overall, I would certainly recommend this care home to anyone who asks.

Reply from Cameron, Care Home Representative at Ivybank House Care Home

Your recommendation is greatly appreciated and we will continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of our care.

Overall Experience

My brother was a resident from 3rd July this year until he passed away recently. The attention he received was second to none. His wife died in June whilst they lived at home. This proved a great shock to him. The care staff, domestic staff and others made him feel so welcome. He was especially fond

of the food and afternoon snacks were eagerly looked for, often baked on the premises. There is a warmth about the place, not just the heating, and its modern furnishings are so inviting. I would recommend Airthrey Care Home to anyone.

Overall Experience

My dad was very isolated and lonely at home after losing my mum. His vascular dementia was getting worse. I wasn’t sleeping at night for worrying and he was phoning me at all hours during the night. Since he’s been in Airthrey Care Home, he now has company. He takes part in the activities. The staff

couldn’t be more approachable. Dad has his down days but all in all, he’s happy. He says the food is lovely. He’s always immaculately dressed. His room is spotless. All of the staff are very caring towards Dad and I really appreciate that. He’s always been the best dad and I just want him treated with kindness, respect and empathy. I praise this home to all of my friends and family.

Reply from Cameron, Care Home Representative at Airthrey Care Home

We're genuinely touched to hear about the positive changes in your dad's life since he joined Airthrey Care Home. It's heartwarming to know that he now has companionship, participates in activities and is happier since joining us. We greatly appreciate your kind words and your trust in us to provide your dad with kindness, respect and empathy.

Overall Experience

This is the first time my mum has been in a residential care setting; I found it all very daunting prior to my mum's admission. The manager was amazing, answering any queries that we had and really taking the time to talk us through everything. I was on holiday when my mum was admitted to Airthery Care

Home and the manager mailed me daily which really put me at ease.
From the onset, the care my mum has received has been brilliant, the care staff have been absolutely amazing, so dedicated and hard-working and it is lovely to see the relationship my mum is developing with them. I have observed that my mum has blossomed in her emotional well-being, she is genuinely so happy and content now. I am delighted also that my mum has gained weight since her admission, the meals are delicious and Mum really enjoys the variety and choice. The home is beautiful and my mum's room is lovely, it is all so homely and so well maintained. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my mum to be in.

I visit my wife six days a week 11 am to 2.30 pm every day except Thursdays. I have lunch with my wife and I feel it helps the both of us. It is no bother with the home and I am made very welcome. When I was ill, the staff would phone about my condition and keep me informed about my wife. Her own hairdresser

comes in every two weeks and this is no problem. During her hairdressing I get the chance to visit other residents I know and it makes me feel very trusted. Above all, I couldn't ask for a better place for my wife to be.

Overall Experience

Airthrey care is an excellent nursing home. My mum moved in February 23, the staff were very supportive of the adjustment period for my mum and our family, saying to treat it as 'her' home rather than a nursing home to keep things as good as possible for her, so visit (avoiding mealtimes) when we want

and take her out (informing staff before we go) is never a problem. They have good continuity of lovely nursing staff with occasional bank staff. The admin team, activity co-ordinators, hairdresser, kitchen, laundry and cleaning staff are also very friendly and approachable despite being very busy, and a very special thank you to the maintenance man who recently decorated her room, she is so delighted with it. Any concerns or suggestions raised are quickly responded to. As someone who was anxious about 'nursing homes' have to say I do not worry about the care my mum receives in Airthrey Care Home.
