Mum is in Pitcairn for respite care. She is receiving outstanding care from the staff. She has been encouraged to eat, socialise and mobilize and is now much happier than before she came. She comments that the food is always delicious. The staff are so attentive and always friendly and welcoming.
We
are so grateful to Ruth and her amazing team.

The staff at Pitcairn Lodge were very friendly and informative when we went to visit for the first time after gaining a place again the staff were very welcoming. The admittance procedure was smooth and effortless stress free and our minds were put at rest that the care was needed was being provided
over the first month my mum has settled in very well and all the staff are very kind friendly and patient we are very happy with everything so far.

We would like to express our sincere thanks as a family to Pitcairn Nursing Home.
The staff in The Larch ward were outstanding with the care Vic received. They were all genuine
and caring towards him and we were overwhelmed with their compassion & support during Vic's 2 years of staying there.
Although
Vic could not always get involved due to his condition, the Entertainment & Outings they laid on for the residents was enjoyable for all.
Thank you Pitcairn for everything.

We were so impressed with Pitcairn when we visited and the very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We were even more delighted to have granny move there for a short time. We couldn't speak more highly about the care and attention that the nurses gave granny. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere
to care for a loved one.

The staff at Larch Wing provided loving care for Michael my Father.
The compassionate care, kindness, patience and support brought comfort to him and peace to our family. We will always be grateful for the dignity and warmth shown during a difficult time.
N.B. Pitcairn management was excellent but
Sanctuary Care Finance Department extremely unhelpful.

I just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Pitcairn this week and especially over the last 2 days when my mum was receiving end of life care. ( there are literally too many names to mention individually) but as a family we are especially grateful to Nika the nurse on duty at the time
of her passing, who was with her and kept her comfortable to the end. All the staff have been sympathetic, empathetic, supportive and couldn't do enough for us from making cups of tea, sandwiches, bringing in chairs, and even a sofa bed to stay overnight if we wished. All our questions were answered and we were given reassurance when we most needed it. It is clear that all the staff in Pitcairn not only care about the residents but their families as well. They have eased our passage through this extremely sad and difficult time in every way. We really can't thank you all enough.

Mum has been so well looked after by all the staff since her arrival in January 2025. She has a different interaction with each staff member which is so nice to see. She won't let them walk by without a wave or a hug. ALL the staff have endless patience on the more challenging days and I'm so appreciative
of them all.

Mum had been resident in Pitcairn for just over a year. The staff took the time to get to know her and help her settle in well. They also made sure Dad was looked after on his daily visits. They both enjoyed the activities arranged in the home and a couple of trips out.
As a Family we were kept informed
about Mums care and were involved in all decisions made. On the occasions a GP visit was required this was done promptly and we were kept fully informed.
Weekly emails on activities and events was appreciated and meant we could join Mum for some of them.
Pitcairn has bright sunny rooms and Lounges, is well maintained and clean with a lovely secure outdoor space which the resident's and Families can enjoy.
Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Pitcairn Lodge Nursing HomeThank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased your mum felt settled and supported at Pitcairn, and that your dad was also well looked after during his visits. It's great to hear your family felt involved and informed throughout, and that you enjoyed joining in with some of the activities. We're glad the bright spaces and garden added to your experience - it was a pleasure to care for your mum and support your family.

My mum moved in to Pitcairn Lodge at the beginning of May. She was given a very warm welcome by all the staff and is settling in well. She has very much enjoyed getting involved in activities and has been out in the minibus for trips to a local nursery and to a concert. Nothing is ever too much bother
for the staff who have been great in their interactions with her. Management and Admin have also been very helpful in getting my mum settled in.

My Dad is a recent resident and from the start he has been made welcome and has been well cared for by the staff. He hasn't been the easiest to look after, especially at night but all efforts have been made to ensure his comfort and safety. I very much appreciated a phone call from one of the night
nurses to discuss Dad's usual routine, likes, dislikes etc to try to help him settle as she had not been able to see me in person.
Communication has been good with nursing staff phoning in a timely manner with updates on GP visits etc, chatting about how Dad is on every visit and regular emails keeping me up to date with events and activities coming up.
There were some difficulties in communication with Head Office initially with regards to finance, necessitating several phone calls, but this has been resolved.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Pitcairn Lodge Nursing HomeThank you for your review for Pitcairn Lodge. We're so pleased to hear that your dad has felt so welcomed and well cared for by our team. Communication is key, and we're glad you've found our team so helpful. We also appreciate your patience regarding the initial finance queries and are happy this has now been resolved. If there's anything more we can do to support you and your dad, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Mum was very reluctant to move to a care home but she has really settled into Pitcairn Lodge. The staff have been very supportive and she loves her bright, sunny room. The food is excellent and just to her taste ie. not spicy and how she remembers food from her younger years.
There are lots of activities
on offer which the residents can do as much or as little as they choose.
The building is very clean, modern and all on one level so that has given Mum confidence in moving around.
She is looking forward to spending more time in the lovely gardens when the weather gets warmer.

My dad has been a resident at Pitcairn Lodge Nursing Home for over two years. During this time all his needs have been met with care and attention. Nothing is too much trouble, especially as my dad has a severe food allergy and the kitchen staff go out of their way to prepare food he can enjoy. Laundry
is turned around very quickly, I have never had to go looking for any items of clothing . There are always activities residents can participate in if they wish and seeing photos of them on Facebook enjoying themselves is reassuring. Staff and management are always available for a chat.
