My dad came into Netherton care home in November 2024 following a stay in hospital after breaking hip + partial replacement. He has Alzheimer's + vascular dementia. He very quickly settled into life in this home much easier than we ever expect. This we believe is 100% due to the amazing staff who go
above and beyond to ensure he has personalised individual care best suited to his needs.

The staff of Lochleven Care Home are very professional but still managing to keep a very friendly attitude with residents and families. I have been very impressed that within a short period of time my brother has adapted to his new way of life and became part of a friendly Unit taking in activities.
Other care homes from my home town show very sedate photos of their residents whereas Lochleven staff engage with residents bringing out a new chapter of their life and managing to promote joy and interaction.

My husband was a resident in Whitehills Care Home for a very short period of time, but in that time I felt that he was well looked after, always clean & tidy. I, too, was treated very well and felt part of the care home family, although our time together was brief. I felt a rapport with the staff and
got to know many of the other residents.

I feel that if you complain about anything regarding this home the staff turn hostile towards you. This has happened to me after I complained. I do not visit anymore as it was very intimidating the last time. Even when I phone it is just basic answers like yes no, cannot tell you you are not next of
kin.
That's my feeling regarding this home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Initial discussions and negotians were helpful and clear, and management staff co-operative. There always seemed to be an atmosphere of relative calm when we visited and that encouraged me. Many of such places have ups and downs. Greenhills seems 'up'. If I have any reservations it is this. My husband
was able to do morning and evening routines for himself but only because I had to steer him towards shower or correct order of dressing - and hearing aids. Inevitable if members of staff are responsible for than one patient, slip ups will occur eg loss of hearing aids or omitting items of dress. Overall, I am satisfied however.

Very impressed, arrived at breakfast time on the 29th of December 2024. All staff were busy and the support staff, such as cleaners were active, the place was spotless and we were kindly given access to seats and offered coffee which we kindly declined. Nice food. Visited my uncle's room and again -
spotless. He was also very well turned out, like a shiny new penny.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum, who has dementia, has resided at the care home for almost 9 and a half years. Over that extensive period, she has been extremely happy, comfortable and at ease in her surroundings.
I have nothing but praise and respect for all staff, past and present, who have ensured my mum has been well cared
for and safe. They are very friendly and approachable.
Her room is very comfortable and clean. There is a spacious lounge where residents can relax and participate in activities.
The food is freshly prepared and nutritious.
The Manager and Deputy Manager employ an open door approach which allows relatives to raise any issues with them.
There is a Relatives' Forum which meets 4 times a year allowing relatives to meet with the Manager and Deputy Manager to discuss matters, such as staffing, service developments and Care Inspectorate Reports, and also allows relatives, as a group, to raise issues of mutual interest, or concern, and to suggest areas for service improvement.

Excellent Care Home fantastic staff that gave amazing care to my mother for a great number of years. In her last days, the staff made sure that we were cared for while sitting sometimes all night next to my Mum. So nice to see my Mum still having her nail polish on and her lipstick close by. Everyday
clean clothes. Our family is so grateful for everything you did for Mum.

Most of my concerns are dealt with at the time or are passed up the line to deal with. There's Staff available at the time of visiting are always friendly and helpful. There's the odd occasion where someone would say they'll log my concern and someone will get back to me then it doesn't happen, and
when I revisit nobody knows anything about it. It seems to be if I speak to the right person it will be dealt with properly.
It's great to see on social media all the activities that go on in the home.

My friend took up permanent residency in the top nursing unit at Lochleven, she receives nothing but the best care and nothing is ever too much for anyone. We are all made to feel like we are part of a big family which I find comforting, any time we have visited there is nothing but happy smiling faces
and it is always clean and tidy. There are always activities going on and they really do go above and beyond for everyone to make sure they are looked after. I would definitely be recommending Lochleven. The staff there deserve a medal for what they do there.

I previously left a review on this care home stating I was unhappy with the management, this was aimed at Thistle Health Ltd and not the actual Management who work there day to day. Since the new manager started she has done everything we asked to get the best possible care for our relative. We have
no problems with her and will be sad to see her leave the care home.
