My mother in law had a significant birthday recently and the staff at Etive House went above and beyond any expectations we had of the celebration they offered to host. It was a joyous occasion and the staff couldn't do enough for my mother in law, family and friends before, during and after the celebrations. The staff are always so kind, caring, thoughtful and respectful, and all work to the highest standard; the weekend of the birthday celebrations all staff members were exceptionally kind and gave so much more than expected. The staff all seem to have a sense of humour which is great to see.

Etive House Care Home is a very comfortable and welcoming place for my father who has dementia. The staff care for him very well. There have been issues with his clothing and they have done their best to resolve this.

It always warms my heart to see all the care and diversity, interesting activities, afforded to the residents...The resident's joy is infectious, and it is so obvious that they are living in a safe, and caring environment.

Etive House Care Home takes excellent care of my father. He is treated with dignity and respect. The staff always have time for him and I didn't feel rushed when talking with Senior Care Assistance about dad's recent fall. I was contacted asap after this incident. My father seems happy, content and making the best of being in a care home. The staff continually trying to get him out of his room.

From my first encounter with management and care staff whilst viewing Etive House I was very impressed with the professional approach of all these staff and their caring attitude. Since my mother has moved into the home my estimation of the team has only increased further. There is an energy about the home. It is bright and clean and all the staff are warm, friendly and very caring. There are always lots of staff around and they are very approachable. I feel very secure knowing my mum is safe and being very well looked after.

Etive House Care Home is an excellent facility. My mum has been there for around 6 weeks and our family are delighted with the care she has received. The staff food and cleanliness are exceptional and we would recommend it to anyone who asks.

My friend has been a resident at Etive House Care Home for a year now. I have been relieved since she entered your care as she was no longer fit to be staying by herself. She is extremely thin but I do believe she is well fed and well looked after. The staff are friendly and caring.

Having not long had another enjoyable visit with my elderly Aunt at Etive House I felt I had to take time to commend this home on all they do. From the minute you arrive, you are made to feel welcome, the place is spotless and fresh and you always are greeted with a smile and a tray of tea. Just as if I was visiting my Aunt in her own home! My Aunty has the most beautiful room and seems to know all the staff by name and has the most amazing social life from the sounds of it. She had recently been entertained by some lovely musicians playing Scottish music. She said she often is up dancing and doing keep fit too! I’d like to thank all the staff at Etive House for their first-class care of my Aunt. It’s not easy for us to visit as often as we would like but we really are grateful that she is in such a super place it puts our mind at rest she is being so well cared for.

We are happy with my dad's care in the home. They are excellent at keeping us up to date with his health and well-being. Dad is usually happy when we visit and is always having banter with the staff. There are three ladies who are a part of the staff in the home and nothing is too much trouble for them.

We are always greeted by friendly staff with a smile. Dad is mostly happy and we are delighted with his exemplary care at Etive House. All staff we have had the pleasure to meet are better than we could wished for.

My papa is well looked after, very content and is looking the best he has in a long time. Delighted with the love and care he gets from the staff here. The carers are a credit to the Etive House Care Home team. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you to all the staff for your care for my mother during the last year of her life, when she moved to Etive House. Despite our worries about how she would cope with the move, Mum felt at home with you almost from the start, and I'm sure this is due to the warm, friendly atmosphere. You took the time to get to really know what made her tick, going out of your way to find activities that she would enjoy. It was a pleasure to see how contented she was and to be taken to meet the friends she'd made. I enjoyed visiting: it felt like a home from home. You kept us informed about all aspects of Mum's care, and it was reassuring to know what a great team of people we had looking after her. You cared for us, her family, just as well as you did Mum, particularly in her final days. We are so pleased that Mum was able to live at Etive House, and would highly recommend the home.

This care home is always welcoming. The staff are most pleasant and go out of their way to ensure residents are well cared for. They have a great variety of activities to stimulate the residents, something different each day. Relatives and friends are kept informed of any changes and queries are answered quickly.

Very happy with the level of care provided to one of my parents since admission to Etive House in June 2023. The staff are all very welcoming, helpful and friendly. I am kept very well informed and up to date with all issues affecting my father's care. My father seems to have settled in well and is very happy at Etive House and has never complained about any aspect of his care. I am very impressed with the food provided to residents.

My mother is very content staying in Etive house staff are so good to her. This is her second year staying in the home and she has settled in great. She feels safe and has made some friends whom she enjoys chatting with.

Sadly my mother passed away the other day, sad though in all honesty, a blessing in disguise, as she was not well. I'd just like to put on record how well she was cared for at Etive House and especially mention three members of staff in particular. Thank you for making my mum's last days as comfortable as possible and exhibiting the care that you did.

On behalf of myself and my family, I wish to thank Etive Care Home for the wonderful care our mother received during her time living in as part of the Etive family. Our mother felt safe, cared for and content at Etive. She kept her dignity and her privacy, two things that were very important to her. The caregivers and the team of medical nurses who looked after our mother were just amazing. The care and attention she received was over and above anything we could have hoped for. The food was always beautifully presented and delicious. All in all, we are so fortunate that our mother got to spend this time at Etive and would commend this Care Home to anyone.

I am sorry to post this review. My mum is nearly 95 and has found her way here. I live 500 miles away, but try to telephone most days. I have visited mum and met the staff. The home appears clean and the staff friendly. My complaint is the refusal by a senior staff member to tell me how my mum is. How callous can you get?

My mother has been cared for in Etive House since April 2022 and the family cannot thank the staff enough for all their kindness, attention, care and banter. It's comforting to know that she is safe, warm and well-fed. So glad that she was placed here.

Absolutely wonderful staff who care for residents as if they were their own family members. Mum is so happy here, it's great to see her having friends, joining in the activities and being so well taken care of.
