Montrose Care Home

from Brian J (Son of Resident) published on 25 August 2023

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

As I approached the front door, for the appointment to inspect the suitability of Montrose Care Home as my father’s new residence, staff about to leave welcomed me inside. Entering the hall, more staff in various employments, greeted me with banter similar to that shared when visiting the homes of my
family. The convivial atmosphere embraces the whole establishment, with both staff and residents conveying heartwarming greetings.
This is not an old people's home. It is a haven of characters, personalities and friends who convey an ambience as comfortable as sinking into one’s favourite armchair. It has been a relief to witness my father regaining a semblance of the happy person he was before suffering two-and-a-half months of hospital admission.
I have no hesitation in recommending Montrose as a provider of all needs a person requires when seeking help to overcome disabilities affecting their health and well-being.

My father has been a resident, since early this year after a long stay in hospital. He has settled well, the home is very well presented, food is very good. The staff are amazing, it is just like a big family, very welcoming.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother is a resident and has been one for some years, under the previous ownership (the present owner took over February 2022) things were we thought good. But now they are exceptional.
Not only is the home very clean and warm and the staff too, but so much more thought and care is being put into
the welfare of the residents with various activities now.
I know my mother is in the care of people who genuinely have her best interests at heart which means that I am able to relax a bit not having to worry about her health and welfare, and she is very happy there.

Reply from Ralph Sanders, Owner at Glencairn House Residential Home

Hi Richard, thank you so much for such a wonderful review, I'm very pleased your mother is happy here. It will mean a lot to all the staff to know that their care is so appreciated!

My sister and my godmother have been residents since she moved from London aged 93; she is now 99. We, and she, are so so grateful that we chose Glencairn. The staff are so kind and caring and genuinely take the best care of her. As she said, they are not just the staff but her friends, and she knows
she's totally safe. They also keep us both up to date and are very welcoming whenever we visit. We cannot thank them enough for how they managed during the Covid pandemic, and we weren't able to visit.

Reply from Ralph Sanders, Owner at Glencairn House Residential Home

Thank you very much, that's lovely to hear, and thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'll make sure I pass your comments on to the staff; it means a lot. It is a pleasure having your godmother at Glencairn; she's a lovely lady, and I'm delighted that she is happy here.

My mother is 104 years old and has been a resident at Glencairn House Residentia Home since April 2020. My family and I feel very fortunate that there was a vacancy for her at Glencairn when it was urgently needed. She has a lovely room and always seems happy and settled when I visit. The staff are
always very welcoming and caring and also very patient. They seem to do their best to keep the residents happy and entertained. My mother particularly enjoys playing scrabble.

Mum was always so independent and it was hard to convince her she needed help, but after a brief stay to give her neighbour a break (we, unfortunately, live 5000km away) she was hooked. The staff there seem so caring and Mum was well looked after and I never had any concerns whilst she was there.

Thank you very much. We were delighted to be able to care for your mum and I'm very pleased that she was so happy here. We aim to provide first-class care, keep our residents safe and enable them to continue to do the things they enjoy. Hearing positive feedback like this means a lot.

MONTROSE - A BIG BIG thank you to the manager and all the staff - your love and care is exceptional.


What a wonderful place. We placed my elderly (97) mother there for respite while we took a break. She said the love and care she received was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble.


She

said the food was excellent with a good choice and more than enough. She loved her room and it was very clean and comfortable. The other residents were friendly and there were activities to join in if you wished but there was no pressure.
We can not fault the staff they all treated her and us alike with great love kindness and respect. Other family members and friends that visited mum all commented on the lovely friendly atmosphere.
We were so happy and pleased with everything (Mum as well) that we are now considering Montrose as a permanent home for her. Thank you again, Montrose.

My Mother moved to Montrose almost six months ago. We chose Montrose partly because it is close to our home and partly the positive feedback we had been given. The staff are exceptional and there is a real 'family feel' to Montrose. Everyone is caring and kind and professional. The Management has an
'open door' policy and are extremely approachable. They are reactive to comments and strive to achieve the highest standards of care. There is an activity programme in the week, with trips out to the market when weather permits. Food is all home cooked and looks delicious.

My mother had always said she would never end her days in a care home as she was a very independent lady. However, life doesn't always give you choices. She then spent 3 years here being well cared for in every capacity. The different personalities of the staff were well balanced but all cared deeply
for her with compassion and dignity. Their 'open door' policy welcomed all her visitors from very young children running around to older friends and family. I couldn't have wished for a nicer place for her to be in her final years and caring staff going that extra mile even in their own time.

My mother was cared for very well during her 22 months at this home. She suffered from COPD and diabetes and various other ailments. COPD is not an easy disease to manage and the staff did so very well. She had numerous trips into hospital for varying periods of time and paramedics were called out on
several occasions. They nursed my mum brilliantly until she died.

Having reached the stage where my Grand Mother could no longer cope with living in her own home, as a family we decided to try a respite period in a local care home. Having looked at several other care homes in Dorchester, Montrose was clearly my Grand Mother's and all of our clear leader. After just
over one week she felt so safe and cared for that she made the decisions herself to make this her new home. A great relief for us as a family and so good to see her happy. The Manager and all of the staff are exceptional in the service they provide, nothing is ever too much trouble. We couldn't be any happier with Montrose.

My wife lived at Glencairn House for 4 years. Everyone who worked at the home, including the owner, the manager and the healthcare staff were very caring, friendly and welcoming. My wife was cared for at a very high standard. I would like to say a massive thank you for the excellent care and support
my wife and I received. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the dignity, help and total support my wife received. I highly recommend Glencairn House Residential Home.

In the 5 years my mother was a resident, Glencairn was well maintained, warm, welcoming and very clean. The staff were always pleasant, helpful and caring and the food was very good and varied.


Her room was comfortable, nicely furnished and kept clean and tidy. At the end of her life, she was comfortable,

well monitored and her every need seen to by caring members of staff.
