Overall Experience

Dad is very well cared for. All the staff are caring and friendly which gives us the comfort that any issues Dad may have are dealt with professionally and compassionately. We get regular feedback and constructive interaction relating to Dad's care. Being a smaller home there is a real personal feel

throughout.

Review of
Lorimer House
from S H (Husband of Resident) published on 31 January 2025

Overall Experience

My wife has been living with Alzheimer's Dementia for more than 6 years and I cared for her at home as I thought that would always be best. My health was suffering as a result of disturbed nights and the stress of caring for her 24/7. After discussions with the family, social worker and her doctor,

we decided that the time had come for her to receive full-time care in a nursing home.
Lorimer House provides the care she needs. The staff are excellent and provide personal attention as and when required. The individual rooms with ensuite bathrooms ensure she has privacy whilst the shared sitting room and dining room allows her to interact with other residents. The Home is well maintained with high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. My wife has settled in well and seems very happy with her surroundings and the level of care she receives. For my part, I am relieved that she is relaxed and content, and I am confident that she is in safe hands.

A huge thank you to all the staff for the delightful Christmas high tea, prepared for my mum and her visiting family and friends.
It was delicious, beautifully presented and very much appreciated.
Our mother has received excellent care within the Lorimer setting. The staff are extremely welcoming

and caring and I particularly enjoyed seeing the gentle encouragement given to my mum to participate and enjoy a dance with staff at the Christmas party.
We would like to thank all the staff for their continued hard work, warmth and cheerfulness.
We appreciate your efforts every day.

Overall Experience

My friend went into Thorburn Manor following a sudden bereavement and deterioration in her own health. From the start the staff were reassuring and kind to both her and to us. I was also reassured to know that many of the staff have been there a long time and still seem enthusiastic in their roles.

The staff have not been fazed by the difficulties my friend has had settling in showing a tremendous degree of knowledge, professionalism and care for her during this time.

I visit my aunt in Morningside Manor on an unannounced basis and am thus so impressed with the level of care maintained. All staff are so helpful, friendly and attentive to all needs. Nothing is too much to ask of them. The home has a lovely feel and positive energy as soon as you enter. I was lucky

enough to be invited to my aunt's Christmas afternoon tea last week. The food, presentation and service was truly wonderful. Thank you to all for doing an amazing job. It's such a relief to feel my Aunt is in good hands.

Overall Experience

My mother has been living at Lorimer House for over two years. There has been continuity for many of the staff over that period of time so they get to know the residents and understand their needs and moods. The staff are cheerful, patient and caring. The care home is always bright and welcoming with

the garden a huge asset.

We enjoyed a delicious and lovely annual Christmas festive tea with our mother this morning. It was very special to spend time with her in a festive setting. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. As always, there had been a lot of attention and care taken to provide a lovely experience we

could enjoy together as a family.

Overall Experience

My mum moved into Morningside Manor in early October and I am so pleased with the care she receives. The staff at all levels are so kind and really make an effort to get to know my mum and encourage her to join activities where she can. We went to a festive afternoon tea in a quiet lounge today just

for Mum and a few families and the delicious food and effort that went into arranging that were really appreciated. I feel we were really lucky to get a room in such a supportive caring home. It's also exceptionally clean and "new" and efficiently run- everything you ask about is followed up. I would recommend this home to others, it felt like a good place on first viewing and has exceeded what I hoped it might be like from that visit.

Overall Experience

Over the last 5 years, I have had two relatives living in Morningside Manor. The levels of care are exceptional from every member of staff. Great care is taken to get to know people as individuals and nothing is too much trouble to allow residents to live as they choose.
The rooms and communal areas

are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The food is nutritious and varied with alternatives provided if requested. Drinks and snacks are always available. There is a daily activity programme and regular outings. There was a summer family picnic and individual Christmas family teas at which a fabulous spread was provided.
Without exception, members of staff are caring, cheery, approachable and very helpful. Any minor issues have been promptly and efficiently dealt with by the excellent management team.
I am extremely happy with the level of care my relatives receive at Morningside Manor and would have no hesitation in recommending the home to other families.

Overall Experience

I attended Lorimer House yesterday and was delighted to find that 'Cool Creatures' was also visiting, showcasing a variety of small animals.
The session with the visiting creatures was superb, delivered in a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. They showed incredible respect for all residents, as well

as understanding of any individual needs. It was lovely to see residents' responses to the event: delight, interest, generation of questions, care for living creatures and sometimes having a try at something out of their comfort zone.
Additionally, I was welcomed with warmth, and treated with wonderful professional friendliness by all staff throughout the duration of my visit.
My time in Lorimer yesterday was an extremely positive and memorable experience: first-hand witness of residents and visitors being treated with high levels of care, compassion and respect whilst being treated to safe, first-hand encounters with some rather unusual creatures.
I left Lorimer with a spring in my step.

On behalf of our family, I would like to say a huge thank you for the way all your staff helped our Mum celebrate her 90th Birthday.
She had a fabulous time on her actual birthday on Tuesday and again on Sunday with a wider group of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A special thank

you for the party on Sunday to two staff members for all the decorations, balloons, and organisation and to your Chef for the lovely party food and special 90th birthday cake.
A big 'Thank You' to all the staff involved in making my mum's birthday week so special, they are a huge asset to your wonderful Care Home.

Overall Experience

Sadly my mother passed away this week after only seven months in Thorburn Manor. From first to last she had the most amazing care from each and every member of staff. When she went in she had acute nursing needs which meant that the admission process had to be accelerated and the staff went that extra

mile making us feel nothing would be a problem. This continued throughout her time in Thorburn. I cannot believe there can be a more caring staff anywhere. We will be forever grateful for the support and compassion we were shown in her final days.

Thank you for letting us care for your mother. We appreciate the review. I hope you are all well at this time. Best regards.
