Care Homes Owned by Barchester Healthcare Ltd in City of Edinburgh

It goes without saying that I fully recommend Strachan House either for respite or long term occupancy.

However, the staff who looked after my mother were very good and caring. The management at Strachan House should take a leaf out of their books.

Care is indeed bespoke, but it's much more than that. In a quiet, understated way these empathetic staff monitor and encourage and facilitate and allow space for individual choice. Whatever training is given across the board should be marketed to the industry! Top marks from me.

The mix of activities, the good food, the caring staff and the high level of care all give me the reassurance and confidence that my aunt is getting the right care for her needs.

Mum was looked after so well during temporary respite care that she decided to stay. A very independent person, she needed some care after a prolonged time in hospital. The people at Queen's Manor give the utmost level of care and friendliness to all, residents and family. It makes such a difference and is very reassuring that mum will be looked after as needed yet still able to do what suits her. Facilities are of the level of a (very) good hotel, the food is great too. Very quiet, nice gardens to wander around, handy for Edinburgh centre when needed, and hospital trips accompanied by staff if requested. Fun days out happen regularly for those who wish to go and fitness and other classes at QM are regularly on the agenda. If and when the day comes, I think we'd all be happy to move in!

My mother moved here six months ago and our initial positive feelings about Queen's Manor have only strengthened since then. She seems so comfortable and content, has made good friends and tells us frequently how kind and caring the staff are. She is encouraged to join in many of the activities and seems to thoroughly enjoy them. As a family we can certainly vouch for the fact that she is being extremely well looked after and I am now able to relax and entrust her to Q M's care. My twice weekly visits to see her or take her out are a joy, enhanced by engaging with her new friends and the wonderful members of staff. The staff are exceptional and no matter what their actual job they are always happy to help.

Inside this beautiful home is a team of exceptional people with a deep sense of care, friendship and professionalism. They have all been so kind and supportive to mum and ourselves in their own special ways throughout her stay, particularly those work who work in memory lane who are incredible.

Mum moved in at the start of March and I have been so impressed with Strachan House. The care, diligence and positivity of staff, their dedication and support of residents and family members is exceptional. The team of staff communicate brilliantly with each other and families. The range of activities and the beautiful, safe and clean facilities are wonderful. It made a heartbreaking decision less stressful, knowing she is safe and cared for by a very caring, professional team who help so much and support you at every stage. Thank you.

My parents were welcomed into Strachan House Care Home on Monday 27th April. They had visited this home before and have always loved it. The home has beautiful gardens and a very welcoming feel. The staff are very caring and attentive and friendly. The clerical staff are always there to answer any questions and they really make you feel at home which is what its all about.

Our friend was a resident at Strachan House for 18 months. During that time he was treated with nothing but respect and friendship. He kept his dignity throughout his stay. We could not fault the care given to him by the staff in any way at all.

I was treated very well. The staff were so helpfull. I was in for respite and I will go back at a later date.

What a relief knowing my aunt is well cared for and happy. A beautiful home with really lovely staff who clearly love their jobs. The food is delicious and the range of events is great. Highly recommend!!!

Overall Queens Manor - and the team there - have given me tremendous peace of mind when it comes to my mother's wellness.

I would highly recommend this care home

My mum moved into Queens Manor a year ago. The genuine care and professionalism of every single one the staff has been amazing. Mum has made genuine friendships, she's encouraged to participate in all sorts of activities but her privacy and wishes are respected at all times. Can't recommend highly enough.

Margaret, the manager, is visible, approachable and has a "can do" attitude.

Our mum was one of Queens Manor's very first residents and she has always trusted and appreciated the care, humour and kindness of the staff who are very dedicated and knowledgeable. My sister and I have always been made to feel very welcome when visiting and the atmosphere is always cheerful and full of purpose. In particular there is a feeling of mum's care being very genuine and professional, with everything being attended to promptly and us kept in the loop at all times.

The residents rooms are small but can be arranged to suit the resident

Nice relaxed atmosphere and nothing is a problem to staff.

A lovely care home with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. All members of staff are extremely caring and approachable and my mum is treated with respect and dignity at all times. Her health has improved greatly in the time she has been there and she is happy and safe which is a comfort to our family.
