Maryfield West Nursing Home
from Julie A (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We are very pleased with the care our mum receives at Maryfield West. The staff are kind, attentive and genuinely caring, and they always take the time to make sure she is comfortable and well looked after.
The home is very well run, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food is good and varied,

and mum really enjoys her meals. There are also excellent activities organised regularly, which keep residents engaged and give them plenty to look forward to. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she is in such a supportive environment, and we are very grateful to all the staff for the care and compassion they show every day.

Reply from Diana Toneva, Home Manager at Maryfield West Nursing HomeThank you Julie for the kind feedback. Your mum is a pleasure to look after and we are delighted to have her here with us. I will share the feedback with the team. Best regards

Review of
Garioch Care Home
from H A (Friend of Resident) published on 2 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My partner's grandmother has been in Garioch care home for quite some time now and has settled in very well. This is undoubtedly due to the care and attention of the staff who have been friendly caring and quick to get in touch with us should any issues arise. She is happy and settled and well looked

after and for us it is reassuring knowing that we can walk away after a visit with an easy mind and feel confident that she is in safe hands.

Reply from Karen Paul, Manager at Garioch Care HomeThank you for the lovely words about the way the staff team at Garioch care for your partner's grandmother who lives with us. Am really pleased to read that you feel she has settled into her new home and that this gives you peace of mind.

from Alison F (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Maryfield Care Home, Aberdeen has looked after my parents over a span of 9 years and they both received the utmost care and were shown respect , empathy and dignity . The staff are very caring and supportive not only to the residents but to the relatives too which in my experience has been invaluable.

I would highly recommend Maryfield Care Home for your loved ones as the family atmosphere, low turnover of staff and the activities/ outings organised are excellent for the health and wellbeing of the residents .

Reply from Diana Toneva, Home Manager at Maryfield West Nursing HomeThank you so much Alison for taking the time to write and share such kind words about the care provided to your parents. We are truly touched by your message. We are grateful that we were able to support them and your family during such an important time. Your appreciation means a lot to our team and it will help us to grow and develop. Best regards!

Overall Experience

My sister has been a resident since December 2024, feel like the care received is good. Staff are kind and compassionate. To highlight the high standard of care I would like to acknowledge Care Assistant Maureen who has been very approachable and professional. Maureen often checks in on me and will

always ensure I feel safe and well looked after. Big thank you to Maureen for being such a wonderful friend and carer to me.

Dounemount Care Home
from A B (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I find staff to be very attentive, including the activities co-ordinator. It is evident that residents are treated as individuals and a person centred approach is being used. I have noticed that staff know my father very well and are aware of his likes and dislikes. The atmosphere always appears relaxing

and staff are always present, and approachable. Residents are stimulated with activities on a daily basis.

Reply from Amanda Stofka, Home Manager at Dounemount Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. we are pleased to hear that you are happy with the care and support provided to your Father, your kind comments are greatly appreciated by the whole team.

from Hayley J (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My lovely MIL has been a resident at Maryfield West for a couple of months now and we have been so impressed with the way that all the staff look after her, from the food, the room, the overall facilities and, most of all, the quality care and attention from the staff. They treat my MIL - and us -

with such compassion and respect. Having a family member in a care home, who is in "end of life" care, is a stressful time, but the team at Maryfield West have made it a smooth, careful and comfortable experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Big thanks to Diana and all the team.

Reply from Diana Toneva, Home Manager at Maryfield West Nursing HomeDear Hayley, please pass our deepest sympathies to the family. We know that having a loved one looked after in a care home can be such an emotional journey and please know that our team did their very best to look after her with dignity and compassion. Your mother in law was a pleasure to look after and she will be missed by all. Your feedback is much appreciated and I will ensure that it is shared with the team. Kind regards .

Overall Experience

My dad was initially anxious about moving into Maryfield West for two weeks of respite care (for the first time) but he thoroughly enjoyed his stay there and the staff were fabulous. The care home was very welcoming, the food excellent and the care provided for was first class - again thanks to all

the staff. We regularly visited him and were always warmly welcomed (including our border terrier Toby - he loved seeing his human grandad.). Thanks for caring for my father and making his respite stay special.

Reply from Diana Toneva, Home Manager at Maryfield West Nursing HomeThank you very much for the lovely feedback, Ian. It was great having your father in our home, it was a pleasure to look after him and we are very pleased that he had an enjoyable stay. We will welcome your dad again for future respite stays.
