Care Homes Owned by Priority Care

Thanks St Columba's and please just keep doing what you're doing.

My mum has severe and increasing dementia, physical disability and is a falls risk. The home ensures there is always a carer close by. I find the staff attentive and thoughtful regarding mum's needs. She can be difficult during personal care and at bedtime and I feel that staff manage this very well. They are flexible to our needs as well and the care home provides a small family coffee room upstairs on Mum's floor where we can sit together. There is also a meeting room on the ground floor where the family can get together sometimes for lunch. Mary Rose is the driving force behind the level of care and attention given in this care home and ensures the staff have the right approach and attitude towards the elderly.

The way the staff care for my gran is unbelievable she's treated with the care and respect that she deserves as dose all the other service users the staff are so attentive to her needs they are aslo have been a great support to us as a family they are so friendly also they have so much on witch family are always welcomed

Very kind and extremely helpful staff. In what was a difficult period in our lives, st Columbus care home was very accommodating and caring. We could not have left our loved one in more capable hands. Much praise for manager Maryrose and her staff. We also attended their summer party which was great fun and residents seemed very happy and enjoyed themselves

My grandad was put into the home for a short period. Throughout these last couple of weeks, the staff have been very accommodating, welcoming and reassuring. They answer any questions honestly, making a lovely environment for the family of the guests. My grandad struggled to settle but the staff would not let that stop them from trying. The facilities have a range of activities like day trips, barber and movies.

As my Grandad gets ready to leave, I just want to say a massive thank you to Mary-Rose and the whole team at St Columba's for everything they have done for him and for our family. We couldn't have asked for better care!

Thank you for the love and compassion you gave to my sister, Rose during her final chapter. I will always be grateful to all the nurses and staff for making her feel safe and valued.

Thank you xxx

This was a shock for us as a family, however, knowing that we were being taken care of by Nic and her team was such a relief to us. Mum has previously received respite care in Meigle and loved every second of her time there. The team are just second to none and for once I was secure in the knowledge that mum was being cared for like she was a part of their family. When mum became ill, I knew that there was nowhere else we trusted and at the worst time for our family, we were supported to a level that I had not thought possible and for that, we will be forever grateful. Mum had the death that she deserved, as a family we got to spend the time with her, medical support was given and we could focus on mum.

Its hard to find anything negative. It might be nice to have a board somewhere that said what had been happening, ie what activities done with the kids, as mum never remembers.

Good staff make a good home - can't fault anyone, smiling, approachable and friendly so it's been easy to careplan mum's care from the food she is able to eat, her medical care to how she likes her hair. Food is amazing don't think there is anything mum hasn't liked. Communication with staff is excellent we always know what's going on. Would stay there myself if I needed to.

The staff are lovely and very welcoming May is on the ball and there to help with any queries, also there's one carer in particular called Linda that, has made me feel so at ease looking after mum and that this home was the right choice!

The staff are very caring and considerate and care for the residents with courtesy and respect . The safety of residents is taken seriously and my sister is happy and safe in this facility. thank you for looking after her so well.

Thank you, Wendy and team for helping us all help Mum settle into her new forever home.

The home cared for my mum at Drumdarroch for over 5 years with thoughtfulness, consideration, care, professionalism, help and respect.

My Auntie was admitted to St Columbas for end of life care. She only had 18 days at St Columbas but our experience was tremendous. The staff were so outstanding both to her and our family. We were always made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. On the day my Auntie passed away Nicky, the nurse on duty explained everything that was happening, we never at any point felt scared or kept in the dark.

My aunt moved into St Columbas care home in March 2026. From the very 1st day she was in there,she loved it,she felt settled and comfortable,staff where always there to lend a hand and make sure her needs where met. The rooms where immaculate and dining hall was also very clean. The other residents looked happy and content. On the day my aunty passed,the nurse(Nikki)'was always on hand to tell us what was happening and to reassure us that my aunt was never in any pain or discomfort.

Mum admitted to St Columbas Care Home 23rd Feb 2026. Overall the care support towards Mum has been great. However Mum does have capacity and more stimulation tasks would have been welcomed. Understand each resident's needs vary. More maybe games, quizzes, bingo my mum would love. Movie nights etc. Staff/nurses lovely.

We are always welcome with a happy smile from all staff and manager. Mum is always happy when we see her. Only thing please play other music than just ABBA. Staff are always there for my mums needs. Marie- Rose is always chatty and happy
