ALLANBANK CARE HOME REVIEWS

The staff are all very nice and have a nice friendly approach to all the residents. There are regular activities to join in. There are also outdoor trips which are greatly liked by everyone who goes. The food is very good and varied. The management is very good and friendly.

My mum was admitted to Allanbank a couple of months ago and I cannot fault the care she has received. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Her needs are cared for and she is happy and settled. Communication is great between staff and the family. There are activities on most days and even though Mum can't do much for herself they always try and include her.

My mum has been a resident at Allanbank Care Home for nearly 3 years. In that time she has been very happy and well looked after. The management and staff are excellent with her care and dignity. The staff on her unit are very settled and this helps us to build a relationship with them. Overall excellent care.

LOCHDUHAR CARE HOME REVIEWS

Lochduhar care home looked after my Nana in her later stages of life. She lived her last year here for about a year and she absolutely thrived. The staff were amazing. Everytime we went to visit, you could tell she was being looked after. There are loads of activities on throughout the week and you could really tell the residents enjoy them! Thanks to all the team at Lochduhar for looking after my Nana, you really gave her the best quality of life in her latter year.

My mum has been in Barchester Lochduhar Care Home now for just over two years. The staff are fantastic with her, with a family feel whilst visiting. She loves a hug and I know she gets plenty when I am not there. They have some great activities for them, Mum loves a wee sing song and a wee dance and great to see her enjoying the music with other residents.

Our music group occasionally play a few songs for the residents here and I also note how well the staff members interact with the residents, they always seem kind and considerate even under sometimes difficult circumstances.

COURTHILL PARK REVIEWS

Visited some relatives there and its a wonderful retirement area for those who still need access to the town and need some peace from the busy day they would have.

Courthill Park is a lovely place to live. Neighbours are very friendly and it's quiet and secure.
