Mum was 92 when I had to eventually look for a care home for Mum, it was
always Mum saying 'I don’t need any help my daughters there!' So when
the illness took this out of my hands I was informed by the mental
health team and social work that Dalmellington Care Home was the best
place for Mum as I could no longer handle her dementia, and was lucky
enough that a place had come up and she went in on the 18th August last
year - and very reluctantly I would say. It wouldn’t have been an easy
time for the nurses etc as I believe she was too independent for her own
good but she was safe there and that was the main thing. They have great
facilities for the residents that are well enough to enjoy the home - as
the resident activity people keep them well entertained with live music
events, animal visits and generally keeping them all active. The food is
lovely and the rooms are clean and Mum's end of life care couldn’t have
worked out any better for her and for the family.

Manager, carers, cleaners, etc. were so helpful, caring and called
everyone by their first name. Visitors were brought tea and
cake/biscuits. Entertainment two to three times a week.
