Care Homes Owned by Handsale Ltd in Dunbartonshire

My mother was in Balquhidder and passed away in 2020, she was on Palliative Care. My Husband went into the home in February 2025 he had Cancer which was aggressive also very bad Dementia, my husband passed away 12th July 2025. I can't give this home enough PRAISE. The care that we got was second to none. My husband had a terrible death. The staff the nurses, and most of all the Manager Isobel are all very special people. A good home is very hard to find, all of these people are a credit to the company.

I was so scared when my dad went in to full time care, especially suffering from dementia and sometimes being unsettled but I needn't have worried balquhidder is amazing, maintaining the best quality of life for those in their care, even Laura Ann & Helena doing activities makes them happy

It is clear our Aunt feels safe, secure and perhaps even loved by the wonderful staff.

My husband and I have great admiration and appreciation for the care provided by the excellent staff at Balquhidder House. The accomodation for our daughter is first class and she has settled in very well.

Excellent care from all the staff who care for my aunt. Everyone is approachable and friendly. All my queries are answered promptly. She is so well looked after and treated with dignity and respect. Thank you to all the staff.

Mum has settled in very well at Balquhidder having previously been in a different home. Staff are very good and look after her very well. They are attentive and caring and mum has everything she needs.

Since my mother moved into Balquhidder I have nothing but praise and admiration for all the staff members we meet each visit .Everyone is friendly and helpful.Despite my mother being 92 years old and with dementia she is still able to take part in various activities provided thanks to the assistance of the staff.The care home itself is cleaned to a high standard, homely and an all-round pleasant environment for residents and visitors alike.

Husband is 92 years of age, has no mobility & has dementia, staff at Balquhidder have been brilliant in care of my husband.

My dad has been in McGregor Lane in Balquhidder House for nearly 2 years. At first I was worried about how hed settle in but he's fine & settled & the care & genuine love for my dad from staff is second to none. My only complaint would be, lack of decent outdoor chairs & tables so that residents & families can sit outside in the warmer weather on the patio area outside the dining room. But overall I'm happy with his care & that gives me peace of mind.

Despite the staff having to carry out a difficult and responsible task in looking after their residents they always have a cheerful and welcoming disposition towards those who they care for and to the visiting relatives and friends.

Leaving a loved one in a care home is a major decision with such bad press at times but I'm most grateful that our family experience was so positive. It all helped to ease the sadness of losing him.

my gran was in Balquhidder House, they took amazing care of her and my family when visiting I can never thank the staff enough. The home was always so clean and taken care of and the rooms were cosy and clean.

An exceptional care home, with a management team and staff that care passionately about what they do and the care offered to the residents. My mother was fortunate enough to be in the care of Balquhidder House for the last 7 years until her passing earlier this month. During this time they not only looked after my mum, but they paid attention to my dad who visited each and every week, so to make sure he could see mum was looked after and receiving the care and attention she deserved. Our family totally appreciate all that was done during the care of our mum and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts... you made his last days very comfortable.
