Mum moved to Cathkin House from hospital. The home has a very good reputation in the community. Since moving, I have found the care to be excellent, the carers are so friendly and caring. Mum is very happy and has settled in well. Her room is warm, clean and comfortable and the support I have received from staff and management has been exemplary. I so appreciated the care given to mum by the fantastic team at Cathkin House.

The only issue we and mum have is the time taken to be taken to the toilet and how many times it has to be requested. This situation is not helped by the lack of sufficient number of transfer aids available to the care staff to have at their disposal, when it is very common for many residents who require this service and facility at the same time! The rest of the attention given to my mother is very good.

My mother settled in right away and say she could not be in a better place. She says the staff are all lovely and the food is very good. Five stars!

Over the last fortnight, staff and management have been excellent in caring and meeting my mother in laws needs. As a family, we were concerned about her lack of food intake. We discussed this with the assistant manager who immediately put a care plan in place reassuring us as a family. We also discussed the possibility of my mother in law attending a family wedding in the new year. Again we were happy to hear that this is possible and again the assistant manager said she will log it in the diary to ensure she attends this family wedding.

My mum became a resident on the 27th September 2024. She is settling in well. We as a family are delighted with the care home. We also have peace of mind knowing she is well cared for. Everyone in the home have been friendly, helpful etc. Could not wish for a better care home. She has everything she needs, i.e hairdresser, podiatrist, medical staff.

Mum was a resident from 2021 till she passed away recently. The home is spotless. The staff are always cheery and helpful. They were kind and caring to Mum but also supportive to me and my family. Mum was always treated with dignity and respect, with staff often going well beyond their remit to ensure she was comfortable and happy The care and compassion given to Mum in her last few days was exceptional. The professionalism of the staff outstanding. And my family and I truly appreciate the compassion and support shown to us at a difficult time. Thank you.

The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and always offer tea to guests. Everywhere is also very clean and residents are always attended to if they require any assistance. I have only seen the staff treat everyone with dignity and respect. Activities are arranged for residents regularly. Safety and Security are also paramount to staff with codes to access the building and log books to record visits - this is assuring to know residents' safety is always a priority.

Always greeted cheerfully by all the staff, without exception. Staff are good at using my mum's name and seem to know to give her sufficient time to respond. Appreciate the range of activities offered. Staff are very patient in dealing with my mum's restricted mobility.

From first impressions to each visit, we have been very pleased with all aspects of Cathkin House, in particular the welcoming and caring staff. My mum has settled in well, she is visibly being well cared for which is a tremendous relief knowing her needs. We must highlight the excellent management team who are caring and professional but have a personal touch too. Our family very much appreciates it, thank you.

My mum is in Cathkin House Care Home and I could not be any happier with the care that she is receiving. The staff are absolutely wonderful and have the resident's best interests and care in mind at all times which is very comforting. They are so professional at their jobs and 'always' take the time to speak to us when we are in. Nothing is a problem and for us as son\daughter, they have made it so easy for us, especially at the beginning which was a worrying and stressful time for us. My mum is very happy there and as a family, we all agree that we could not have found a better home for her to live. Words cannot express how appreciative we are of everything Cathkin House, it's an absolute gem. Also, a special mention to the housekeeping staff, the care home is immaculate and again, not a visit goes by without them saying hello. 5 stars for everything, cannot recommend it enough.

My mother-in-law has been in the care home for just under a year. She settled in from day one. The management and staff are really caring and work really hard to provide her daily needs. There is something different on every day, it could be bingo, board games and entertainers. The rooms are kept very clean and the food is great. We are kept up to date with the care she receives, doctor appointments, hairdressers and chiropodist appointments etc. We cannot recommend them enough they are all doing a great job. Well done to all the staff.

As a family we absolutely appreciate the love and care that goes into looking after our mum. The first time I walked in I felt a sense of peace and love and felt my mum would be happy here and we are right. The love and care she gets is second to none. Nothing is any bother and the staff go above and beyond their job to ensure the residents are lived and looked after.

The staff at my mum's care home are fabulous with her. She has dementia and struggles to be active but the staff seem to be able to include her in everything that is happening daily. Staff always keep me informed on how Mum is doing and are alway comforting and empathetic with her needs. I believe when a family member has dementia the whole family suffer with them but I am completely confident in Cathkin House care home staff and can’t thank them enough for taking great care of my mother.

From the minute we viewed Cathkin and then met the staff, we knew it was the absolute the right place for our dad. We have been able to enjoy him and not worry about him - for the first time years, we know he is getting the best care possible. Four members of staff, in particular, what a fabulous job you do for him, he is incredibly lucky to have access to such caring and considerate people. The home is clean, it doesn’t smell like a care home. It really is a home away from home and I will forever recommend it. 10/10.

We have only been using this service for five weeks but it has given us as a family peace of mind knowing our sister is being well looked after and is in a safe environment. The staff have made us as a family feel welcome whenever we come to visit.

Mum has been in the care home for approximately six weeks. Although it took her a few weeks to settle the staff and management have always been very attentive and available for family to talk too. Mum comments often how well-fed she is and how well she is taken care of. The change in her over the last six weeks has been remarkable and she is very happy.

The place is tidy, smart and the staff and management are excellent. My wife has put on weight since she came in the home and her pain is managed very well. Care delivery has been excellent and the staff could not do enough for her.

I find the care home to be very friendly and above all, my mum is well looked after. It is near to where I live and easy for me to get to on a regular basis.

What a delight it is to visit my sister at Cathkin House Care Home. Her care has been outstanding, carried out by extremely professional, courteous and caring staff, it is obvious that it is a great place to work. My sister is happy and her health and well-being have improved enormously in the last five months. Thank you all so much.
