My husband has been very well looked after, the few weeks he has been here. I was disappointed about the activities.

Overall Experience

My mother moved here a month ago. We had reviewed 3 other local homes and this was the stand out choice. The staff are lovely and plentiful. The food according to my mother, is amazing. She is still settling in but is now coming out of her shell and is enjoying the activites immensly. There are activities

which I did not see the same quality or regularity at other homes. It was a very good choice.

Reply from Harry O'Brien, on behalf of the team at Scoonie House

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It really means a lot to us to know that Scoonie House feels like the right choice for your mother. We understand how big a step it is, and we're so delighted to see her starting to come out of her shell and enjoy the activities - that's exactly what we hope for. Knowing she's happy with the food and that you've felt supported by the team is wonderful to hear. We'll continue to do all we can to help her feel at home. Thanks again for your lovely feedback!

Overall Experience

From the first point of communication the staff made us feel very welcome and a part of the care home "family". I could not have wished for a better care home for my dad. It gives me a great sense of comfort that in my dads stage of life he is in the best place possible. I would like to give my heart

felt thanks to all of the staff for all they do for us. My dad is looked after and its evident all the staff care for the residents. You all deserve 5 stars.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Forth Bay Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad to hear that you and your dad felt welcomed and supported right from the start. It's a real privilege to be trusted with his care, and knowing that you feel comforted and reassured means everything to our team. They put so much heart into what they do, so your appreciation will mean the world to them. We'll make sure your message is shared with everyone here - it will put smiles on a lot of faces!

So much information and excellent activities for residents and relatives to interact with.

Overall Experience

The main contribution point is that in the case of care workers, there is little continuity. If you wish to meet up with staff on a particular day, they were not there on the previous day. So, issues go unresolved. On the plus side, the food and menu is fine. The nurses are professional and attentive.

The home is kept tidy. Excellent reception!

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Forth Bay Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with continuity in our team. We'd really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand your concerns. Your insight will help us look into this further and explore how we can make improvements. We're glad to hear that otherwise you've found our team to be professional and attentive - thanks again for your feedback.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Forth Bay Nursing Home for almost three years. From the outset, when selecting Forth Bay, we were impressed by the care and attention of staff, and that has continued to this day. At all times, Mum has been treated with respect and incredible kindness and friendliness.

This has extended into the local community, where she has been recognised and welcomed to local events. Despite Mum's age and limitations, the staff have all gone out of their way to make her feel included. They have frequently gone the extra mile "to make her feel at home"

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Forth Bay Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're so glad that you've been happy with Mum's care throughout her journey at Forth Bay. It's incredibly important to us that our home is a real community for our residents, and we're so lucky to have Mum as part of it! We're delighted to hear that she feels at home! We really appreciate your kind words about our team - they really do go the extra mile, and your recognition will mean so much to them.

My partner has now been in as a resident for two month and she appears to be very settled. The staff are very attentive to my partner's needs and she is always treated with dignity and consideration. There is a very homely feel in the nursing home and everyone looks to be well looked after. Very interested

to see future activities which hopefully my partner will engage in. Looking forward to the summer months to get out into the garden. All good.

Mum was here for a four-week respite. With her having dementia the family has been really happy with the care she has received. There are so many different activities going on and they encouraged her to get involved. Taking her out for lunch as well.
When the time comes this well be the place where

she'll stay. Staff very caring and trusting.

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so happy Mum enjoyed her time at Scoonie House - it was a pleasure having her with us. While we hope it's not needed anytime soon, we'd be delighted to welcome her back in the future. We also really appreciate your kind words about our team!

Overall Experience

Staff are friendly and welcoming, from an overall experience I feel there needs to be more activities/outings for residents to engage in, there have been a few times I've visited and residents are sitting round the TV watching inappropriate films with violence, swearing and they have complained. I feel

staff should be more aware of this, it shouldn't be relatives that are having to find something more
suitable to entertain them. There are times when I know my gran is well looked after depending on what team is on that day. Personal care and hygiene could be improved.

Most of the carer are good, but some don't understand what your are saying. My husband cant walk or talk therefore there are no activities. No idea what the night shift do, but my husband chair is often dirty, can't clean it through the day as the only time he is out of it is bed time. The laundry is

not the most hygienic sometimes smells and stained.

Mum is now very well settled in Scoonie House and thoroughly enjoys her time there. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere pervades throughout the whole establishment and is complimented by the friendly professional staff who cannot do enough for all residents. When we visit mum we are treated like family

as is mum. Since moving into Scoonie House in April 2024, mum has come on leaps and bounds both physically and mentally, all credit to the care and attention granted to her. Christmas time has been a joy for mum with activities everyday and she is so looking forward to the big day. The staff have been amazing to make this happen.

Our team truly believe in treating our residents and their loved ones like family, so it's heartwarming to hear that you feel that way too. It's been such a pleasure to watch your mum's progress since April and we'll continue doing everything we can to ensure she stays happy and well. We're glad mum enjoyed our Christmas activities and we hope she enjoyed the big day even more. Here's to many more wonderful memories in 2025.

Overall Experience

Both my parents moved to Scoonie Care Home at the end of August 2024. Both have very different needs, my dad is physically frail but still mentally very able. My mum has dementia and has no independent mobility. From the first time I took my dad to see the home he has been treated with dignity, respect,

and kindness. From the managers to the seniors, carers, and domestic staff, everyone is friendly and caring. One of the things that stands out most to me though, is how inclusive the home is. My mum would be easy to ignore. They could leave her sitting watching the TV and she'd be ok. But they don't. They encourage her to join in activities, they make a point of speaking to her and include her in conversations, and they've even had her out for lunch. My dad loves the meals, and the trips to The Bistro when visitors come in - the home's own cafe area.

Reply from Harry O'Brien, on behalf of the team at Scoonie House

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We're really pleased to hear how well both your mum and dad have settled into life at Scoonie. Supporting each resident as an individual is something we care deeply about, so it means a great deal to know that your dad feels respected and cared for, and that your mum is being actively included and encouraged. It's lovely to hear she's been enjoying the activities and even trips out for lunch. We'll make sure your kind words are shared with the whole team - including those behind the scenes - as it's feedback like this that reminds us why we do what we do.

Overall Experience

I am very happy that my friend is living in such a comfortable care home. My first impressions of the home made me feel that my friend could settle in very well. Coming from a quite large 2-bedroomed home to having her own bedroom with toilet was just what she needed. She was very fortunate that everything

in her room was brand new. The home itself is clean and odour-free. She has been there for a few months now and appears to be content. The staff are friendly and recently I attended a relatives meeting which was very informative. My friend has been taken out a couple of times which is great and has benefitted from the hairdressing facility.
