I can't thank the staff enough for giving my husband the care I can no longer give him.

and they took him to a garden centre to buy plants to make a hanging basket with him. This is one example of many! Dad goes out on trips for fish and chips (his favourite), there is an activities co-ordinator who involves dad in a number of exciting and stimulating activities. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They are warm, friendly and extremely welcoming to all of our family. Refreshments are offered every time we visit.
At Briardene, the hygiene levels are outstanding. Dad's room is always clean, warm and cosy. Dad's personal hygiene standards are kept high, too.
We cannot speak highly enough of staff. We feel extremely lucky that dad gets to experience their care.
Thankyou

in her last few days amazing, especially care and compassion to the family. All staff lovely. Can't fault.

& back office team is always polite, empathetic, professional, respectful & caring.
Our Mum is listened to, respected, loved & valued, personal hygiene standards are kept high & her room is always warm, clean & tidy.
Staff make a big effort to celebrate key events like Birthday's, Mother's Day, Easter, Christmas etc & there are visits from musicians, hand & foot care therapists, a hairdresser etc. An activities co-ordinator works very hard to both stimulate & calm each resident according to their personal needs and attentiveness to residents is noted. Thank you to everyone at Briardene for helping to bring much needed peace of mind to our family & for all you do for our Mum.

on every visit.

of incapacity. They always appear self-motivated and positive. They are always very patient with the patients! Working relationships between the staff appear to be excellent too. They are always very friendly and helpful when I speak to them and I really appreciate the cups of tea they make for me.
The facilities are very good and well-maintained to a high standard. Staff always appear busy and this includes caretaking staff who are often seen on my visits.
If I ever succumb to the ailments suffered by the residents at Briardene, I hope that they will find a place for me.
Thank you all for doing such a first-class job for my friend.

you Briardene for looking after my mother with such understanding.

we go. The staff are incredible and so good to them.

the management to the care givers and supporting staff.

Mum and the other residents received on my visit.
The staff interacted with her and the others and you could sense a general feeling of calm and that in itself must be difficult to achieve.
Mum was clean and dressed well and she looked healthy. She always took pride in her appearance and the staff have recognised this and helped her in every way for which the family are very grateful.
On my visit, a singer sang songs from the 50s and 60s, all of the residents, including my mum, really enjoyed it, some of them had a dance and many sang along. It's really nice to know that they have these types of activities.
I would like to thank the management and the staff for the fabulous work they are doing.

staff & management. This is the third home mam has been in and this is the best by far.
Thank you all for taking care of my mam.

the best place for him to receive care.
All of the staff at Briardene show real understanding of his dementia and complex needs and are always respectful of his personality and individual preferences. He has been at Briardene for about eight months now and we are 100% confident in the care he continues to receive.
