Cannot thank the home manager and his team enough for the care and support given to not only my mother who resided at the home but also to my family. As a family, we always found the manager and his team to be very supportive and knowledgeable. One of the main reasons we wanted our mum to live out the
rest of her life in the home was the feeling of kindness that you feel from the minute you enter the building.
To the manager, from my whole family - thank you for everything.

At first, I was dubious about being 'sent' to a care home. But now I see the profound merits. Two characters are best! The Manager and the Handyman. Both cannot do enough for us. Cheers! To all staff!

My 88-year-old mother became a resident here due to health problems. The staff have done a wonderful job, nursing her back to good health. Their care has been nothing but amazing. They have shown her nothing but kindness and patience. I was concerned she may not settle, but she loves it her and is very
happy.
A big thank you to all staff.

The care provided to Mum and the support given to the family has been exceptional. There is strong leadership enabling the staff to deliver a high level of care with professionalism and empathy. They are proactive in anticipating changes in medical and care needs. They communicate well with the family
which has been highly important in providing reassurance as we live at a distance. There is a holistic approach to care from all the team with Mum's overall well-being and particularly her spiritual care being incorporated into daily activities. The support staff delivered their services effectively. There is a sense of calm and a happy team. Mum had nothing but high praise for all of them.

My mother has been a resident at Blar Buidhe Care Home for four years and I have nothing but good things to say about her care. The whole staff team treated her with dignity ad respect and met all of her care needs wonderfully well. She felt extremely content and appreciative of all that was done for
her and for her family. We will be forever grateful for Blar Buidhe.

My aunt has been in this care home for six months. I have been in to visit various times since then. The staff are so helpful to me and my aunt. My aunt seems very settled now six months on and that's down to the good care given by staff and good management. Today was my aunt's 90th birthday and staff
and management organised a room for family and friends to visit and celebrate her birthday. The room was lovely with banners and balloons and a lovely buffet and drinks all laid out and absolutely made my aunt's 90th birthday so special.

Very impressed by the care given at Blar Buidhe. The rooms are very well appointed. The entire property is spotless and the staff are fantastic. I attended a 90th birthday party celebration at Blur Buidhe today, when we arrived to decorate the room, it had already been done and was beautiful. A buffet
was provided with every type of hot and cold finger food and alcohol and soft drinks, served by the kindest carers.

I was so pleased to read recently that one of the staff had been recognised at the National Care Awards. They are all worthy in my eyes.
I love seeing regular updates on the Facebook page and mum

My mother-in-law is always happy when we arrive to visit her. The carers and her have an excellent relationship just like an extended family. Whenever she has any problems they phone us and update us promptly. She really enjoys the food and snacks especially the beautiful home baking. There are so many
activities provided for her also. I always recommend Blar Buidhe to others.

Would like to thank the Manager and his team for all of the hard work and dedication this past year. It has been an emotional and challenging time for everyone but I have felt better knowing that my friend residing in Blar Buidhe care home has been cared for and kept safe. I appreciate the care and
support they have provided and also the compassion to family and friends who have not been able to visit. Thank you everyone at Blar Buidhe

As a family, we have been so impressed by the staff and management of Blar Buidhe during the Covid 19 pandemic. They have consistently made sensible decisions about visiting and ensured that the residents remain as safe as possible.
When we have visited we have always had a warm welcome, found the
home to be very clean and welcoming and we cannot fault the Care in any way. My auntie is really happy in the home.
