We have been overwhelmed by the care, support and love mum was shown by the staff at Saltgreens. They showed her respect and gave her dignity even when she was unable to do anything for herself, right up to her death last month. We know she was happy and settled because much of her confusion and subsided
and the fact that they took her out in her wheelchair to see the sea every day was just brilliant. The rickshaw rides around the village were the highlight of her week!
The fact that, as family, we could come and go as we pleased and make cups of tea in the little kitchen for ourselves was just great. Then when they catered for all eight of us on Christmas Day, setting us up in her cottage and giving us the space to do our family Christmas together, we were just so thankful. We cannot recommend Saltgreens highly enough.

Due to my wife, who is my full-time carer, having an operation, I was required to enter a respite home until my wife recovered.
Going back 10 years, give or take, after my wife again had surgery, I had a week's stay at Saltgreens with very happy memories.
I requested if it was possible to again spend
my time at Saltgreen which was arranged.
I need not have worried as soon as walked through the door I could feel the love.
My stay was stress-free as the staff were amazing, from management to the cleaners and I would wholeheartedly recommend Saltgreens as a place to entrust your loved ones.

I enjoyed a week respite care at St Ronan's Care Home, in Innerleithen. The home is tastefully decorated and meticulously cleaned. It could not have been manned by a more friendly, willing group of carers. Nothing was too much bother to them, they ensured they were there for every eventuality, really
first-class caring.
If there was one area that disappointed that would be the food! Not always a full menu on offer. I understand they are in the middle of interviewing for a cook at present. Nonetheless, I would recommend St Ronan's to anyone interested in residential care.

A warm welcome by all for my dad (82) for his respite 3-night stay. Very impressed with the whole environment, lots of optional activities and lovely garden and outdoor seating areas. Nothing too much trouble and fantastic home-cooked food with great options. I was very impressed with all aspects of
care, signage, cleanliness and warmth of the whole team.

My gran was accepted to Deanfield as the onset of her Alzheimer's made caring for her at home difficult. She had attended day care for 2 years before she became a resident and stayed there for 3 years. 5 years in total. The level of care and attention received was outstanding. When she passed my family
and I stayed there for 3 days and were able to experience and see first hand how excellent the team were. Not only towards the residents themselves but to my family as we went through an extremely difficult time.
I have an immense amount of respect for each and every member of the care team. There was a feeling of closeness from the team towards the residents which gave the environment more of a family feeling.
My family and I cant thank them enough for everything they have done for my gran over the past 5 years and I highly recommend Deanfield to anyone looking for this type of care.
