Overall Experience

We have just placed our mum here. We used this site to help us pick the best care home so wanted to write a review to help others. First of all you have to visit multiple care homes to make a judgement and when you do that you will see that Northcare Residences is head and shoulders above the rest.

Care homes are expensive but at least here you can see and feel where the money is being spent. It's very much 5* All inclusive. Everything is to the highest standard from the furnishings and activities on offer to each member of staff. This is reflected in their Care Inspectorate reports too so not just our opinion. The welcome we received from the management, nursing staff, care assistants and hospitality team have been exemplary. They have all been friendly, professional and kind. We dreaded this time in mums dementia journey but that has been completely turned around and we are excited for her to make new friends and have new experiences that will definitely enrich her life.

Overall Experience

My mum moved into Northcare 2 months ago and has received excellent care. All the staff without exception have been so kind and helpful. She settled in well and the staff have encouraged her to get involved in all the home has to offer which has really helped with her rehabilitation after a fall.
We

feel very lucky that this facility was available to her when she needed care and gives all of our family peace of mind that she is being well looked after.

Overall Experience

Northcare Residences have been brilliant for my brother who is just 66 and lives with Frontal Temporal Dementia. I am his only relative and cared for him as best as I could, getting in social care etc too his home or should I say house. He was lonely and depressed as he became more insular and less

mobile. I moved him into Northcare in September 2024 and it has been a joy from the beginning. From a lovely room, which I have personalised, great food, social spaces such as the brasserie and bar, cinema and hairdresser. He is happy and settled there. The staff are lovely and make sure he is always ok, checking regularly and chatting, a cheery wave which he loves as well as the necessary nursing skills that they need to have. They are all lovely. The activities are all well planned and interesting. They all communicate regularly. I am so much more relaxed knowing he is so well looked after. It is absolutely worth the slightly higher fees for the 5 star accommodation, food and drink and staff.

Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear that you're pleased with the quality of care your brother receives, the facilities, and the comfort of the individual rooms. Your input is invaluable to us, and we're committed to ensuring the best possible experience for everyone at Northcare Residences, Stirling.

Overall Experience

My Mum, age 94, went into Northcare in Stirling for a respite week at the end of November. She was very apprehensive at the thought of going into care but once she had unpacked and settled in, she was extremely happy and relaxed. The staff really did make her feel safe, secure and most welcome.
The

week passed by very quickly, Mum was so at home at Northcare, praising the staff who were very attentive, she enjoyed all the delicious food also. Meeting other people too really did give my Mum a much-needed lift. She didn't read any of her books at the care home as she just didn't have time, too busy chatting to the other residents, having her hair done at the in-house salon or attending a good movie on the top floor cinema.
When the day came to leave my mother was a bit sad to say farewell, I think she will definitely be back!
A beautiful flower arrangement was also kindly given to her on departure, a lovely gesture.
Thank you Team Northcare for taking such good care of my mum.

Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We're thrilled to hear that she enjoyed her respite stay and was able to enjoy all the facilities, and most importantly, felt well cared for by our team. If there's anything more we can do in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Overall Experience

My father moved into Northcare in Stirling in October 2023 and still lives there. The facilities and food are top-notch. I can't speak highly enough about the staff there. The general manager and front of house manager have always been extremely helpful and attentive to my requests. The nursing team

led by two particular members of staff has been first class and, again, I am very thankful for all the care and affection they have provided to my dad, spending one one-on-one time with him, ensuring he gets involved in social activities, getting him to laugh and smile despite his dementia, hearing difficulties and immobility challenges. Two particular staff members in the hospitality team always ensure my father always enjoys his time there. I live overseas so it was particularly important to find a home where I could safely entrust the staff to take good care of him. Northcare have exceeded my expectations. They have been truly brilliant with my dad and I will be forever grateful.

Thank you for your kind words and review. We really appreciate that you have taken the time to write this review and I will pass your lovely comments on to the wider team.

Overall Experience

My Dad has been living at Northcare in Stirling for almost 6 months now. We were reluctant as a family having to place him in long-term care, however, it's been the best decision for all of us.
My dad has thrived in his time there and he's genuinely happy to be living in such a well-run facility.

All staff members are professional and show real compassion and pride in their work. It's such a weight off all of our minds knowing he's being taken care of by staff there. It's a pleasure to visit him and I could not recommend this place any higher.

My husband stayed at the care home for respite for 8 nights. We can't thank the staff enough for providing such a five-star service. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, accommodating and caring at every step of the way. Excellent facilities, food, care, nursing care and extras, such as a cinema, rooftop

terrace, cocktail bar and brasserie. We will definitely return.

Overall Experience

Having made the hard decision for Mum to go into a care home, Northcare have treated both Mum and my family with respect and care that goes far beyond our expectations. Every one of the members of staff are friendly and go out of their way to ensure that the residents are comfortable and well looked

after. The activity programme is great with plenty of fitness classes to ensure movement, family events organised regularly are lovely with super catering and entertainment and when visiting always offered a cuppa and cake. Communication is excellent from the ladies on the front desk, staff up on the floors and management. Mum has been at Northcare for 10 months and we have seen a huge positive change in her mental health, she joins in the activities and know it was the right choice to move her to Northcare for a much better quality of life. The Northcare team feel like an extended family and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is facing the difficult decision.

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident of Northcare since December 2023 and has been supported to settle in beautifully. The staff are caring and friendly and are excellent at communicating with family about all aspects of Mum's day-to-day. The building is kept immaculate in all areas and the services provided

are second to none. Coffee and freshly made cakes are offered to visitors at all times of day and family lunches or afternoon teas are easily arranged in the private dining room or cocktail lounge. Regular entertainment is provided for residents, from pony visits, singalongs, keep fit to lectures and arts and crafts classes to name a few. Events for families to attend are organised too which are very well organised and beautifully catered. From being an eventuality that we dreaded as a family, the knowledge that Mum is in such good hands is an enormous comfort to us. I can't praise Northcare highly enough.

My mum has been a resident in Northcare Stirling for 7 months now. She has settled so well and continues to do so. The standard of care is met with all mum's requirements to the highest of standard. We were able to make her room familiar with family pictures from home. On entering the home you can tell

immediately how clean and welcoming it is. All staff are extremely friendly and welcoming while remaining extremely professional. I'm so happy Mum is a resident of Northcare. As a family, it has given us total peace of mind.

Overall Experience

The care that our dad is receiving at Northcare is exceptional. All staff from reception, to hospitality, housekeeping, carers, nurses and management treat our Dad with the utmost respect. The care and kindness shown on a daily basis genuinely warms my heart. Nothing is too much trouble and there is

never a raised eyebrow, eyeroll or sigh... all care is carried out with a smile and a great deal of compassion. The staff are ever present and chat, laugh and build relationships with the residents and their families. The medical support from Viewfield Medical Practise has also been outstanding. In addition to the wonderful care, there is a wide range of activities and entertainment, the food is made freshly in-house and the surroundings are of very high standard and well maintained. We are very grateful to everyone at Northcare. We have peace of mind each time we leave, knowing our dad is safe and being well looked after by the most wonderful team of people.

My dad has settled in well to Northcare Residences, we loved the feel of the home and the people who run and work in it. The staff are interested in my dad and engage well with him and my sister and I too. We especially liked the high ceilings and spacious bedroom although my dad is spending lots of

time out of his room which is a great surprise to us joining in with other residents and taking part in activities including days out and the cinema within the care home. We feel he is safe and looked after and his quality of life has improved since coming in almost 3 months ago.

Overall Experience

Exceptional level of care for my elderly, frail mother.
In comparison to other nursing homes that I have visited, the set-up is remarkable. More like a high-class hotel.
Cleanliness, accommodation, catering, activities are all excellent. However, it is the professionalism and compassion of the nurses

and carers that really stand out. Certainly, the manager is highly visible, experienced, skilled and accessible - I doubt that any drop in standards would be tolerated. However, the staff and, in particular, the clinical lead/nurses are genuinely compassionate people.
I simply couldn’t be more grateful.

Overall Experience

This care home is very welcoming indeed - all the staff are cheery and chatty, but also professional. The management, nursing staff and hospitality teams are a real credit to Northcare, as are the departments visitors don't tend to engage with such as housekeeping and maintenance. The building is bespoke

and each of the resident's rooms is very spacious with high ceilings throughout. The communal areas have some very nice pieces of old/antique furniture further adding to the ambience and experience. The care that my father has received since he became a resident at the start of 2024 has been first-class - they have stabilised his medication and he is looking well for his age. It is evident that he is well-settled and happy here. The range of activities provided by Northcare is impressive and my father attends most of these. Food quality is excellent and varied. I have recommended Northcare to a number of friends who have elderly parents in the Central Belt.

Our mum moved into Northcare Residences in Aug 23. We are delighted with all the wonderful people who work there they really do take care of our mum. We as a family feel Mum has settled in really nicely. We have come a long way and Mum is so much happier in herself. Thank you for trying different things

to help Mum enjoy her meals and taking the time to consider her specific needs, giving her the space when she needs it and bringing fun, laughter, music and dance back into her life.
Thank you for the lovely pamper sessions and the hair appointments. But most of all thank you for the care you and every one of your team provide. What a wonderful place. We love you all very much!
It feels so good to put our heads on our pillow at night knowing that Mum is safely tucked up in bed and she has had a happy day.
