Overall Experience

My dad was in Fordmill from April 2025 until October 2025 when he passed. The home looked after my father wonderfully. Every member of staff were great. He was treated with compassion & respect until the end. There is always some good activities to join in & food is excellent. All care homes should

be like this.

All staff even those I barly saw were amazing in their dedication to delivering a fantastic level of care to my father in his final months. But the last few days I can not find the words to thank you for what you did for us as a family not just my father.

Overall Experience

I can't praise the staff enough for the care they gave my husband and the family, over the last week of his life. They went above and beyond in my opinion. The staff in Fordmill Montrose are a fabulous team. Their profesionalism is second to none. I am truely thankful, my husband became a resident in

this nursing home. Accept the thanks of all my family for everything they did to keep him comfortable at the end. That meant the world to us.

Overall Experience

First class. The staff in their entirety were caring and attentive. Food and amenities were excellent, medical attention was brilliant, the team provided entertainment and stimulation on a daily basis. Compassion, dignity and respect at the end.
When it's my time, if I could afford it I'd want to go

there too!

from Ruth G (Sister of Resident) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My experience of the South Grange Care Home is it is very welcoming as soon as you step in the front door. It's very bright and clean and gives you a good feeling about the place. The staff are very friendly and from what I see when I visit they are very helpful to the residents. I like how there

is a food menu at the front door and the choices of meals look really tasty. The residents rooms look nice and bright they are also very clean and tidy. I have been visiting for just over 6 months now and overall I think its a very well run establishment.

from J P (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I felt a warm glow as I entered Mum's 'home' to help her to celebrate her 99th Birthday this month. I had travelled a 400 miles train journey to be with her and share her special day, and walk together in the warmth and friendliness to which Mum has come to feel settled in since her arrival on 10th

March 2025. The staff all know me and always give me a welcome (warm) when I arrive. Mum's room is so tastefully and thoughtfully arranged for all her personal care and enjoyments.
The activities manager arranged, and provided my friend and I to share a Birthday lunch with Mum - which Mum thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you especially to the friendly care manager.

from M G (Cousin of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My cousin spent his final year in Fordmill, suffering from a terminal illness. He was so well cared for, that his life expectancy, initially 6 weeks, was extended by a year. He was very content, despite being bedridden, due to the excellant care and attention given by all staff members. He especially

enjoyed the food, and we enjoyed the cakes with our cuppa on our visits. It gave us peace of mind that he was happy there.

Overall Experience

About 14 years ago my mother passed away here after 2 or 3 happy years here, more recently my uncle passed away after approximately 18months as a resident, as a family we were able to spend more quality time with them both and not have to worry about their day to day stuff when they were at home, the

care both were given was excellent. Also 2 of my elderly neighbours have lived here, one recently passed and my other neighbour is loving it, highly recommend,

Overall Experience

My mother was admitted with stage four cancer, dementia and diabetes. As a family we knew she did not have much good days left ahead of her. However the staff - to a man - looked after both my mother and father - who visited every day, with love and dignity. As a family we are truly grateful for everything

you dad to make mum's final days comfortable and enjoyable as they could be.

from Gordon B (Son of Resident) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Our father passed away 2 weeks ago, having spent the last 5 years as a resident of Fordmill, I very much doubt if we would have had him with us that long, had it not been for the wonderful care provided by the staff and management. They literally became his second family with their compassion, skilled

work and great personalities. He was always very contented when we visited, and never once told us that he was unhappy with his situation, or any member of the team. Barchester are truly fortunate to have a care home like this within their organisation.

from Rhona A (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We were a family with no experience of a Care Home. From the moment we were met in the foyer in March 2024, with our mum, the staff have gone above and beyond to make her and the residents happy and well cared for. From Management to catering and cleaning, not forgetting the professional nurses, they

are unsung heroes. The entertainment team, enjoy themselves too with entertainment which is both relevant and fun. Mum loved the church services and visits from schools, nursery schools, dancers etc. Really big thanks.

A very humble experience seeing a loved one taking much needed rest at the end of life. The care she was provided with was second to none. The care staff go above and beyond becoming family members to our loved ones.
Such special memories created within the home not just a care home but an actual

home to residents.
Lovely setting.

from Trevor S (Husband of Resident) published on 27 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My wife is unable to walk or stand (advanced MS) so "activities" are not relevant. She is a bit 'fussy' about food and is gluten intolerant. However, the home went to great lengths to provide her with a choice at each meal. This was a 3 week respite care that was mostly paid for by my local council,

cannot comment on value for money.

Thank you for your kind review, look forward to taking care of your wife again in May.

Overall Experience

Really happy with the care mum received whilst staying at Fordmill Care Home. The home was immaculate, very welcoming and staff were always extremely helpful. Mum is a very picky eater and follows a gluten free diet. The kitchen staff were always extremely helpful in offering alternative meals to suit

mums taste and dietary requirements.
Mum had a lovely warm, clean room with her own TV. Mum has said that the staff were brilliant.

Probably the best old folks home I have ever seen, the staff are absolutely lovely, they cannot do enough from my father. And the food is amazing. And the manager of the old folks home is a star. Highly rated. Honestly, cannot pick one bad thing about it. Only one word describes this place, amazing.

Overall Experience

My aunt was at Barchester Fordmill Care Home for three weeks respite, the care and kindness shown to her was fantastic. The staff are all so welcoming and look so happy. The activities coordinator and her team work so hard to entertain the residents. It's a very well-led team. The manager and administrator

made the process so easy and are so efficient and communicative.
This is a wonderful home and I could thoroughly recommend it.
