Overall Experience

My Mum is extremely happy in Auchtercrag Care home Ellon. I am well informed about her well being and any issues at all that may come up in her day to day care. She struggles with accepting personal care and the nurses and carers try so hard to help her overcome this although it can be difficult at

times, they persevere. There are lots of activities for her to join in with and although I can't attend the relatives meetings due to work we are kept well informed and there are plenty opportunities for discussion on the phone or at care reviews. The dentist ,doctor and chiropodist all attend if needed. Only tricky thing for me is the hospital prescription she needs can not be sent to Ellon I have to arrange and pick it up but that is an NHS problem not the homes fault. Thanks for making mine and my Mum's life so much easier

Overall Experience

Since mum went to live at Auchtercrag 9 months ago she has thrived under the care of the staff involved with her. She tells us there is "nowhere she would rather be" which is indeed the highest of compliments. The home is always welcoming, is kept beautifully, food is very appealing and staff interact

well with residents. Staff contact me quickly with any concerns and I feel that mum is treated as an individual in the home. Very happy to recommend to any potential residents and families.

Reply from Cameron, Auchtercrag Care Home at Auchtercrag Care Home / Auchmacoy Lodge

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. It's truly heartwarming to hear how well your mum has settled in and is thriving at Auchtercrag. Knowing she feels there's "nowhere she would rather be" is one of the greatest compliments we could ever receive, and it means so much to our entire team. We're delighted that you find the home welcoming, beautifully kept, and that our team's dedication shines through in the care, communication, and personalised attention your mum receives. Creating a place where residents feel valued, comfortable and genuinely at home is at the heart of everything we do. Thank you again for your trust and for your kind recommendation. We're so pleased to have your mum, and your family, as part of the Auchtercrag community.

Overall Experience

My wife who has a combination Of Dementia and Ahlzimers was placed there for respite but I along with family members realised that I could no longer provide the care she required, so now she is a full time resident because she seemed to have settled in very quickly and if we moved her to another home

it may cause problems for her.

Reply from Cameron, Bayview Care Home at Bayview Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're truly honoured to be caring for your wife, and it means a great deal to know that she has settled in so well at Bayview. Making the decision to move a loved one into full-time care is never easy, and we recognise the care, thought and love that goes into that journey. Our team works hard to provide not just comfort and safety, but also familiarity and connection - especially for those living with dementia. It's lovely to hear that your family felt confident in her care and made the decision that was best for her wellbeing. Thank you again for your trust. We're proud to support your wife and your family as part of the Bayview community.

St Modans Care Home
from Frances F (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 May 2025

Overall Experience

My Dad stayed at St Modans for just under 2 1/2 years before he passed away. He had mixed dementia and was in the Dementia Unit. I have nothing but praise for all the staff, the care Dad received and the support I received during his time there. His room was always clean. The meals were delicious and

nutritious. He was always clean and tidy. There was always activities and entertainment to keep residents occupied should they choose to take part or attend. I was always informed promptly about any changes or incidents. I always felt welcome when visiting and the Carers always took the time to answer any of my questions and have a little chat. The compassion and care shown to Dad at the end, and the support I received made a sad time much easier. I can't thank them enough.

Reply from Pamela Geddes, Deputy Manager at St Modans Care Home

Thankyou so much for your kind words, we really appreciate your positive feedback and I will be sure to pass this on to the team. It was such a pleasure for the team to look after your dad and supporting you as a family.

My husband moved in recently, he is living with dementia. I visit almost daily, and he always appears content in his relatively new surroundings. I am made to feel welcome, and the Care Staff are always mingling with the residents, so available to approach. There is evidence of a huge emphasis on

meaningful activities and community inclusion; residents and staff are seen in the local village.

Reply from Isla Cowe, Care Home Manager at Grove Care Home

thank you for your kind words, really pleased that your husband is settling in so well and that you feel welcome into the Home. We are fortunate to have a great team here at the Grove and they really enjoy the work that they do.

Overall Experience

Mum was only resident in The Grove for six weeks as awaiting a room elsewhere, however the care and attention she received has been second to none, and we simply cannot fault it.
All the staff have been absolutely lovely, cheerful and helpful. Her room was always spotlessly clean and fresh, as was

the rest of the home. Mum obviously enjoyed the specially prepared food as, following a stroke she was very underweight, but the improvement in her condition in such a short time is remarkable.
Grateful thanks to all the staff.

Overall pleased with the care in the home. Because there have been no events organised during January, I feel the residents are not getting enough stimulation - this should hopefully change as a new events organiser has just started!

Reply from Cameron, Bayview Care Home rep at Bayview Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you're happy with the care at Bayview! We completely understand how important activities and social events are for keeping residents engaged and stimulated. January can sometimes be a quieter period due to all the excitement over Xmas and New Year, a time for relaxation and reflection. But to that point, we're excited to have our new activities coordinator on board, and there are lots of great activities planned for the coming weeks and months. We truly appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing our residents enjoy a variety of engaging experiences soon.

We wouldn't hesitate to say that our mum was so happy during her 4 and half years living in St Modans.
Genuinely caring and friendly staff on the floor, always welcoming and helpful. Senior staff are always visible and approachable, always willing to listen and respond to any questions or queries.
As

our mum's life was drawing to a close the care, kindness and love shown to our mum was exceptional, a very peaceful passing with tremendous support for us too as a family.

Overall Experience

My husband is a resident of St Modan's suffering from early onset mixed dementia. St Modan's rooms and communal areas are immaculate and the food is excellent. I am always encouraged to eat meals with my husband to sustain social interactions. My husband is extremely well looked after, being supported

with personal care on a daily basis with clothes regularly laundered.
The staff have developed a very positive relationship with my husband and they encourage him to socialise and take part in the varied activities provided. This is especially important to me as I work full time and it's very comforting to know he is so well looked after both socially and medically.
I would also like to commend St Modan's social media page. Our daughters stay abroad and it's great for them to see their dad having fun and being happy.
All staff have been so welcoming and supportive and we cannot thank them enough for the care shown.

Reply from Pamela Geddes, Deputy Manager at St Modans Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and positive heartfelt review. We appreciate the feedback and I will ensure that this is passed on to the team.

Review of
Grove Care Home
from J C (Wife of Resident) published on 11 December 2024

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My husband arrived after being in hospital. Certain drugs that he was given in hospital were not prescribed at the care home so he was very confused, unsettled and became aggressive. This was our first experience of a care home. We all realised (ourselves and care staff) that they could not cope with

his condition of Lewy Body Dementia. He was asked to find somewhere else. Some of the carers were good and did genuinely appear to care; however I certainly felt that most staff never really properly supported either of us. I felt we were being talked about behind our backs and there was no real caring support. I was willing to support my husband and his carers. His care notes did not depict what was happening. The staff did little to encourage my husband to walk despite the fact that I managed to get the council physio to visit him regularly. My husband moved to another care home and is now home. On his first day at the new care home he had a shower which was never given at The Grove after a 6 week stay.

Reply from Cameron, Grove Care Home Representative at Grove Care Home

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are committed to providing compassionate, individualised care and welcome the opportunity to address concerns while respecting the confidentiality and dignity of our residents. Any adjustments to hospital prescriptions are made under medical guidance to prioritise our residents' well-being. Our team collaborates closely with GPs and specialists to provide tailored care, particularly for complex conditions like Lewy Body Dementia, which we are highly experienced in managing. We prioritise personal care and mobility support, ensuring these are documented and aligned with professional advice for safety. It is disappointing to hear you felt unsupported, as clear and respectful communication with families is central to our approach here at Grove. We aim to create a safe and compassionate environment. While transitions to care homes can be challenging, our team is trained and dedicated to meeting our residents' needs.
