Lovely little care home with stunning sea views. The building which is situated next to the beach is a perfect size, not too big that the residents are lost in the crowd and not too small that they are all crammed in together. It's great that they have a choice of lounges to sit in with sea views, and the communal area always has music playing. The food is of a good standard, with a choice of two meals on the menu which can be adapted to dietary requirements. The staff are always on the go, but never too busy that they can't sit down for a chat/cup of tea or even a dance with the residents. They do a fantastic job and really make the effort to make the residents feel like they're home and are one big family. Mum loves it there, and it has given us all great peace of mind that she's happy. And to be honest, with those views, I wouldn't mind a room there myself!

My mother has now been at Lammernuir for nearly three years. During this time she has been cared for with unfailing professional expertise and great kindness. She has had spells of ill health and each time staff have acted with speed and great efficiency. I trust them completely. I have nothing but praise for Lammernuir. All the staff, whatever their role are kind, cheerful and compassionate to residents and relatives alike. My mother is very fortunate to be a resident.

All the staff are approachable, friendly and helpful. They find time to listen to any concerns I have had about my mother's health and have kept in touch, providing information about the actions taken in response.

Lovely staff and management, always a pleasure to help you with anything. So happy both my parents are in Lammermuir because I know they are getting well looked after. Homemade meals and plenty of cups of tea and homemade cakes to enjoy. The care home is spacious and very clean and a lovely feeling when you pop in, always someone to speak to and let you know how parents are getting on. Day trips and plenty of activities every day to enjoy. Beautiful views and so relaxing. Mum and Dad have been made to feel very welcome and can’t praise the care home enough. Thank you.

Both my parents have been lucky to find a place in Lammermuir House Care Home. The manager is wonderful and helpful and all of his staff are so friendly and welcoming. When we arrived every one of the staff came to say hello and introduced themselves. The staff are always very welcoming and make myself and sister feel part of the care. The home is spotless, with no nasty smells anywhere. The food is also good and always available is a cuppa and home baking. In the past, the home didn't have a good reputation but the new team has turned everything around and has done fabulous work towards getting better reports from The care commission. There is a good range of activities for the residents and they also have the use of a minibus, our mum loved going out to see the Lamas. We feel that our parents have settled in well and feel if we ever need help with anything they would deal with it. This is the only home in the area that does what they say on the tin.

Mum has been in the home since August 2023. The carers and management have been of a high standard and also very supportive to all the family. The care home has a very relaxed and caring environment using outside visits from local groups and entertainers which are very good for residents' morale as well as the families.

My mother has been a resident at Lammermuir for 8 years. The care and services are fantastic. The staff perform theme days 2 or 3 times a month which can be Mexican, Italian, French night etc with the appropriate food, drink, costumes, guest artists including celebrity impersonators, animals for the residents to pet, magic shows. Lammermuir has a mini bus and the staff take the residents to local fish and chip shops and cafes. All this is far above expectations and gives residents enjoyment in life. Lammermuir has beautiful gardens to take exercise with wonderful views over the Firth of Forth. Photographs and videos of the residents and staff doing outdoor and indoor activities with them are shown on social media almost every day and reassures their families of the quality of life they are having. We have every confidence in everyone looking after her and give a 5-star hotel status. A big thank you to all the staff for making this happen. Thanks again to all the team for the tremendous work you do.

Top marks - Lammermuir House is an excellent care home and Mum is very well cared for and involved in many activities if she so chooses. There is a choice of lounge areas to sit in, lovely views from the windows and it is a nice open space that doesn't feel too crowded. Communal areas have recently been nicely re-decorated and have new chairs and furniture. As a long-term resident, the family have been very happy with Mum's care and the lovely staff. Her clothes and bed sheets are always nice and clean and housekeeping staff keep her room lovely and tidy. Highly recommended.

Our Dad has been welcomed into Lammermuir House Care Home and has been helped to settle very well. All his needs have been met sensitively and positively. He enjoys the company of other residents and the good cheer of the carers. His spirit and overall health have improved considerably and we as his family are delighted to witness this.

The nursing staff are attentive and very caring lots of entertainment to keep everyone happy first class.

Very happy my dad is in this home. We live quite far away and can only get up to visit around once a month, knowing he is so well cared for is very comforting. The team are always kind, considerate, and welcoming. I love that they do so many activities and keep dad occupied. It is great being able to see regular photos on social media of everything they have been doing. The whole team are great. His carers, in particular, are very good with my dad and they always keep us informed and are welcoming and reassuring.

I can't speak highly enough of all the staff that both my mother and I have encountered whilst she has been in Lammermuir House Care Home. Everyone, without exception has been very polite, courteous and extremely helpful, looking after my mother's needs. The facility provides everything that my mother needs. The food and the choices are varied, nutritional and tasty. My mother has said on numerous occasions how lucky she has been to be in such a quality and lovely care home.

Mum has been in Lammermuir for seven years and I am very happy with the care that she gets. Any problems at all are always communicated to us. I feel that Mum is safe and shes always looked after. Staff are very nice and very cooperative. 100% happy with how my mum is getting looked after.

I found the home bright and friendly. The staff are all very helpful, welcoming and seemed to be giving my husband the attention that he needs. He has seemed to have settled in and is comfortable most of the time apart from when he needs to be hoisted. Special arrangements were made to celebrate his 90th birthday. The room is bright and with two windows where he has plenty of light to read and see outside. Staff have been very helpful in enabling us to have contact by facetime when we are not able to visit which keeps us in touch. He enjoys the food and arrangements were made for him to have a special recliner made for his dimensions. The staff are good at keeping him company.

The two carers go above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my father. We have also seen firsthand the level of care that was provided for other residents which is of the highest order. His two carers are the names he remembers most and it is due to their professionalism and high standards of care that this is the case. We know that under their care, my father is extremely well looked after which helps us sleep at night.

We cannot recommend Lammermuir House highly enough. We looked at so many places for Mum at such a worrying time and as soon as we met the team at Lammermuir House we felt we had found a home that cared and understood Mum’s needs. We were right. Everyone we have met is kind and caring. The atmosphere in the home is comforting and they organise great activities. Mum has made friends and loves the beautiful setting. We can’t speak highly enough of all of the team. Thank you

Best decision we made as a family to have our mum cared for at Lammermuir House Care Home. She has settled well and we no longer worry about her as she is being so well looked after. The staff keep us informed on all aspects of Mum's health and wellbeing. Fantastic sea views and lovely grounds. I love the Facebook page showing various photos of the residents enjoying organised activities, celebrating residents birthdays and other special events. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

The manager of this home has been absolutely wonderful keep us well informed all the way through the lockdowns. Regular updates and taking phone calls and emails when we get anxious about the resident. I am a POA for one resident and a guardian for another person. The staff call me if they are worried or just need authorisation regarding treatment etc. Would recommend this care home to family and friends

My husband has now been in Lammermuir House for two and a half months. As he no longer talks much it is difficult to assess how he has really settled down and what he has been doing but the staff are all very helpful and positive about his progress.

Pre Lammermuir, Dad had been a resident in another care home. One of the main reasons for moving Dad was his need for more stimulation. He has never looked back. Pre COVID-19 restrictions, Dad had been wined and dined (not literally perhaps) by outings to various local eating establishments, picnics, onsite BBQ’s, in house events etc. The list goes on. Lammermuir’s dedicated staff from the kitchen staff, care assistants, nursing and management are without fail - brilliant. They have adapted to Dad’s needs and ‘ways’ with understanding and perseverance!! Since COVID-19, the control and management of residents and family/friend's needs and expectations have been clearly and professionally handled and communicated. Regular email updates covering government and healthcare regulation changes, staff and resident well being, testing results, access instructions and resident communication options have been made clear and concise. The mental well-being of residents has been expertly handled too.
