Care Homes Owned by Mead Medical Services Ltd in Dumfries & Galloway

Lydiafield is an excellent care facility, where managers and staff are dedicated to the care and well-being of their residents. The home is spotlessly clean, the food choices are varied and plentiful. Carers treat their residents and their families with respect and dignity. They fundraise independently for extra activities and the activities co-ordinator makes sure opportunities to participate are extended to everyone regardless of ability . She takes particular care to make sure she knows everyone's interests and then she somehow makes it happen.

I have been visiting Lydiafield regularly in recent weeks and have found managers and staff to be extremely caring, supportive, inclusive, approachable and helpful. They have good assessment and care planning processes in place. The atmosphere within Lydiafield is positive and welcoming. The care home appears clean and well-maintained. Staff and management regularly engage with residents and relatives. The activities coordinator aims to involve as many residents as possible and offers various activities and outings. Everyone is very cheery and it feels like a lovely place to live when being at home is no longer an option.

My 94-year-old aunt recently passed away at Lydiafield Care Home and our family were delighted with the excellent care she enjoyed whilst in care. The pre-admission assessment conducted by the Care Home Manager was very thorough and responsive to the needs and aspirations of my aunt. The physical facility itself was well-maintained and kept clean. My aunt, although she ate very little as her needs were low, was always very complimentary of the food provided describing many of the dishes served as "just like home". The staff genuinely cared for my aunt and they frequently spent time with her checking not only her physical wellbeing but also her mental wellbeing and mood. My aunt frequently called them her angels and indeed when she passed away her final words were to thank the carers attending to her. When we cleared my aunt's room after she passed, a number of the carers came to pay their respects and to check if there was anything they could do to assist us. A lovely place.
