The staff are great. The building is a bit tired, the car park can be a bit of a nightmare, the temperature in the room is too warm 28 degrees, the toilet pan is also loose and trouble flushing could do with a wee freshening up.

My mum was in Greyfriars from Oct to April 2022. She was admitted for end-of-life palliative care. Mum was bedridden and totally dependent on the staff in the home. We were promised she would have staff with her throughout the day keeping her stimulated. She was to be included in activities for example getting her nails painted or someone reading to her. None of this ever happened. Staff was only with mum to wash and change her, other than that she was left on her own. Mum's positional changes were regularly late and she developed a bed sore after just 2 weeks. Her catheter was emptied into the basin used for washing her. The en-suite bathroom had no hot running water for over 2 months. The window catches never worked. Repairs were promised and never carried out. Mum was too frail to be moved to another care home. I would not recommend Greyfriars if your family member is bedridden. Mum was out of sight out of mind.

My father moved to Greyfriars Care Centre for two weeks of respite care while his long term care needs were being assessed. The manager and the staff were great, keeping me updated on how my dad was getting on and they looked after him very well. He looked better after just 2-days and they were very helpful as I made arrangements to move him to a care home nearer to me for his long term care.

My mum is settled and seems happy. Recently I have noticed that the big TV in the lounge area has not been on as much and music has been playing. I feel this is better. Why not ask families and residents about their favourite music? It's a pity that there is no secure outdoor space. My mum loved her garden and I feel if she could go outdoors, safely, this would make her happier. The installation of a fence and lockable gate could be possible - cost?

The home has recently been done up, and the lounge looks lovely. My mum has been in for a while now and is always well looked after. The food is nice, and it's really friendly.

My father has been a resident in Greyfriars care home since 4th September 2015. Dad has settled in and seems very happy. The staff are lovely and very approachable. I see a difference in our dad he has company and interacts with staff and other residents. Dad has a lovely bright spacious room and we have taken his own recliner chair from Home. There was a manager in place when dad arrived in the home, she left the day dad arrived. As far as I know there is no manager at present.
