Review of
Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home
from Lorraine C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When I knew my mother in law was to go into a care home I have to admit I was nervous as my own parents were both in a local care home and the care was awful . But before she went we were invited to meet with the manager and shown round and it was lovely to have someone who really cared and put our

minds at ease , she's been there nearly 2 yrs now and loves it. The carers are like friend to her and us and are always so lovely and always has time to spend with her , she enjoys all the entertainment that's provided and the trips out nothing is ever too much for the staff or manager we are just so lucky to have peace of mind that she's def in the best care home in the area , it's always so nice for her that if she has visitors she can offer them tea/ coffee as she would never have let anyone out of her home without that before she's had lovely family gatherings there which she loves

from Alex N (Son of Resident) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When we start out, we look for the perfect care home (just as when we imagine our perfect boyfriend/girlfriend. As we mature we realise that no one and nowhere is perfect in the sense of having no faults, weaknesses, limitations...but don't give up on "perfect" because we CAN find the perfect person

FOR US and the perfect place FOR US. In that sense, Barchester's Fairview Care Home in Aberdeen is the perfect place for my Mam (for 3 years now). We, the Management and Staff, Residents, Family and Friends, are doing our best, working hard, being imaginative and creative, as a team, indeed an extended family, in the common desire to make Fairview House a HOME for our loved ones. Perfect homes should not be measured by facilities and brochures so much as by their vision, work rate, steady improvements, ambitions and loving care. So, all things considered, I am giving Barchester's Fairview Care Home 10 out of 10, and the 10 this time is even better than the 10 last time!

Reply from MEL SHEARER, GENERAL MANAGER at Barchester Fairview House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear that Fairview Care Home has felt like the perfect place for your Mum over the past 3 years. It means a lot to know that our team's care, hard…read more

Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home
from S H (Son of Resident) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our family has had a very positive experience with Kirkburn Court, and we couldn't be happier with the excellent care and attention that our mother has received.
From the moment we first walked through the door, we were struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are truly exceptional-kind,

compassionate, and attentive to every detail. It's clear that they don't just see this as a job; they genuinely care for each resident as if they were their own family. The manager does a fantastic job, and a lot of credit must go to him for creating and maintaining an environment where such high standards are consistently delivered maintained.
We have complete peace of mind knowing that mum is not only safe and well-cared for but is also happy and thriving even with the challenges that she faces on a daily basis. We would not hesitate to recommend Kirkburn Court to anyone seeking the best possible care and environment for a family member.

My wife has been in Lethen Park Care Home since 18th March 2025. I cannot thank all the staff there for the kindness and courteous manner they have shown towards my wife.

helped me achieve the resolution I needed.

from Heather T (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad has been in Kirkburn Court since April 2023. The care he has received is second to none. Our family couldn't have asked for a better place for my dad to be looked after.
Everyone in Kirkburn Court are always very welcoming. From the manager , receptionist and admin staff, catering, laundry,

domestic , activity organisers and of course the carers. They are always so friendly to our family when we visit and they are so good to my dad.
He has regular reviews where we can raise any worries if we have any.
He gets out and about regularly for visits arranged by the activity organisers and he is encouraged to take part in lots of activities in the home which he really enjoys.
I would definitely recommend Kirkburn to anyone who are looking for a care home for a family member.

Overall Experience

My father was a resident. Sadly it was only for 8 weeks but the experience changed all our lives. The care received was beyond our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble. My father suffered from dementia but he clearly loved and trusted those caring for him. Nursing staff were quick to respond to

his medical needs. In his final hours I saw staff care not only for him but also my mother. We were all treated like family. The home is spotlessly clean and very welcoming.

Reply from Wendy McGowan, Regional Director at Barchester Fairview House Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. The team at Fairview were honoured and privileged to support your father for the last weeks of his life.
