Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad was transferred from hospital to Buchanan House Care Home for 'end of life care' in July 2024. He died almost exactly a year later having celebrated his 90th birthday together with friends and family, gained weight due to the nutritious and delicious meals and snacks he was given, and after making
friends with other residents and staff. He took part in all the seasonal celebrations including Valentines Day, St. Andrews Day and Burns Night, in talks, and sing-a-longs, was out in the mini-bus and with us in our car (with the help, and determination of the staff team). He listened to book readings and music of his choice in his own room and took a liking for 'balloon badminton and skittles in the lounge (as we did!) As a family we will always be grateful to all the staff who cared for and about him - they were proactive, compassionate and ready to think 'out of the box' when we approached them. But most of all we thank them for their kindness and warmth to Dad, and to us as a family.

Thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to all the staff. It was an privilege and honour to care for your father. It was great to see him improve and enjoy life while he lived with us. He responded well to the care and support my nurses and care staff provided and had that extra special time with you and your family. He is missed by his new friends and of course the team. Thank you again for allowing us to care for your father. RIP

Mum has been in the carehome for approx 1 month now and the experience very positive. Her room is beautiful, comfortable and includes an ensuite. From management to every member of staff the friendliness, compassion and care shown to my mother has been heartwarming. She is settled and content and clearly
in good hands! Food is of good quality and plenty of tea for mum! Engaging activities keep her stimulated and happy. Knowing she is in a terrific place is incredibly reassuring for our family. Thank you all at Buchanan House x

I cannot thank every member of staff enough, they continually go above and beyond for the residents. My gran is always upto something, the staff treat them like their own family and I have not seen my gran this happy for a long time. The house covers every event possible and ensure everyone is included.
The care, love, compassion and kindness from Buchanan House has relieved so much of my worries about my gran and I couldn't be more grateful for them.
Reply from Kathleen Glasgow, manager at Buchanan House Care Home

Thank you so much for your very kind words which I will pass on to the entire staff. We love to celebrate events with our residents - most recently VE Day, and its always wonderful when families and friends Join in. Your Gran definitely is one of our social butterflies and loves to join in our varied activity programme.

Very happy with care my sister is receiving and the communication with the staff at all levels..
My sister was very reluctant to move in to Buchanan House but after 10 weeks of being a temporary resident she was very happy that her residence should become permanent.As a family we have seen a big change
be in her level of contentment which is undoubtedly due to her surroundings and the care she is receiving.
Reply from Kathleen Glasgow, Home Manger at Buchanan House Care Home

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Staff at Buchanan House work hard to provide a high standard of care in a homely environment. Being made feel welcome along with support and reassurance , helps our new residents to settle into their new home. We are delighted your sister has settled and agreed to live with us permanently. Kind regards Kathleen

Staff are kind and cheerful, always smiling, friendly and willing to help. A huge effort goes into making it a homely place to be with comfortable personal spaces and welcoming communal areas. Lots of activities are engaging and colourful with regular fun party times enjoyed by residents and relatives.
There is a great range of delicious, nutritious food with individual needs and preferences catered for. All in all, relatives and friends are reassured that loved ones are in good hands.

Cannot fault this care home in any way. Excellent facilities and programme of activities to keep residents entertained but also not forced on them to participate. Rooms are well-equipped, staff are friendly and attentive and residents are provided with a variety of meals.

My father moved in to Buchanan House Care Home in November this year, after suffering a major stroke. The care home is located well for us, as we live in the local area. Since moving my father in, the staff have made the transition so smoothly. The staff are amazing at what the do, two staff members
who are the activities coordinators, are really well suited for the job, and the fun they put into everything, is so good to see. The food is fantastic, freshly cooked. The team are overall fantastic, nothing is a an issue, and they work very hard, and make a lovely home environment for all. Thank you.

My mum was an emergency admission after a rapid deterioration of her health. Buchanan House staff were very helpful in the administration of her admission and came out to visit her in her flat.
The home was very welcoming and always seemed clean and well organised, and the staff have been excellent
in settling Mum in. Every time we visit, Mum is never sitting in her room by herself. We have seen a marked improvement in her speech, which we think is due to the constant stimulation. The lounge/TV area is never over-busy or overwhelming and feels quite homely. It's good for visiting, and there is a private separate area if required for visits. Mum seems well looked after, the food seems good, and the staff are very friendly. Already she has had her hair and nails done twice and taken part in several activities, including a visit to the transport museum. The main thing for us is that she is now safe, especially at night, and there seems to be plenty of staff about to keep an eye on her.

Thank you so much for your review and kind words. I will pass this on to the staff. Your mum seems to be settling in well and enjoying the company and participating in the activities. We welcome all feedback. This allows us to address any issues promptly and improve the service our residents receive. We hope you, your mum and your family continue to feel supported and are happy with care.

We pick a resident up once a week to take him out for lunch. Before picking him up, we phone Buchanan House to ensure that he's fit to go out. The manager and staff are all very pleasant, professional and helpful to deal with. I can't praise them enough.

Excellent care home. My mother's now been at Buchanan House for over 2 years. Excellent activities team who all give 100% every day. Carers are wonderful and treat my mother as one of their own. Always kept in touch about any problems with my mother from nurses and managers. I always know my mother

My mum continually receives the best care. She is happy and content and considers all the staff her friends as they are friendly and caring. Although she enjoys being taken out for a coffee, she loves her family visiting in the conservatory for tea and cake. The staff are so attentive and know what
she likes and dislikes.
The care home uses social media well to document activities on a daily basis. My mum loves having her photo taken and regularly asks to see if there are photos of her on there. It is lovely to see her happy icing biscuits or having a visit from the local nursery children. While away on holiday recently, I was content in the knowledge that she was being well looked after and receiving great care.
I am regularly kept up to date with my mum's well-being and any queries/questions I have are addressed immediately. It is definitely the best care home for my mum.
Reply from Ellie Alivanoglou, Deputy Manager at Buchanan House Care Home

My husband is still settling into his new situation, but overall has been treated with such kindness and dignity since his arrival. Staff go above and beyond in every aspect of his care. He is always clean and tidy and warm and comfortable. No complaints regarding the quality of foods available at all
mealtimes all of which are well presented and served on matching crockery. Lovely home baking daily for afternoon tea! Wide range of activities and entertainment every day. It's a breath of fresh air to hear the way all the staff from the kitchen, cleaning, laundry, and nursing/ care staff speak and respond to the residents. No care home is ideal for your family member but Buchanan House is I'm sure the best we could have hoped for.
