My Mum lived at Murrayfield House, in the Blinkbonny Unit there, for over 4 years until she died in January 2026. She had progressive Parkinson's, so she needed a lot of care. Her care here was superb. She settled in quickly, with no real issues around the transition, and she remained content and settled
for the whole of her time here. We felt that she was really well looked after. The staff were lovely, from the nurses in charge to the carers, the tea lady and the domestic staff. There was really good continuity of staffing, with several of the same nursing and care staff there throughout Mum's time there. Her room was lovely. Family members were always well looked after, too, during visits. Mum's final few weeks before her passing were really well managed by the staff. They ensured that she was peaceful and comfortable to the end and that we were kept aware of the situation, with the result that we could all be there with her at the end.

My father entered Murrayfield House on 20/08/2025 as his previous care home was under threat of closure. He was made to feel welcome at the home by friendly caring staff immediately. I fully expected this to be a difficult transition but it wasn't at all. The care my dad receives is wonderful, he has
dementia and sometimes puts dirty/stained clothing on but this is always rectified immediately. He is always encouraged to participate in activities which he really enjoys. There are always lots of trips and activities to keep them busy much better than his previous home. Very happy with my decision to move him.

My mum required respite care urgently. Murrayfield House were excellent at responding quickly and getting my mum assessed and into respite care within a matter of days. Since she has been here, she has been treated with dignity and with a very high standard of care. The staff are warm and friendly,
and despite the difficult circumstances, she seems happy and content.

The sad reality that Mum now requires 24-hour care has been difficult to accept as it signifies the progression of her Alzheimer's disease. Choosing a care home for Mum was a huge decision - we naturally wanted the very best for her. My sister and I were immediately impressed when we came to view the
home. Brian was very helpful and understanding when he met with us. Compared to other homes we had considered, Murrayfield House was clearly far superior to them. We have been reassured that Mum is in the best environment for her needs. Staff are friendly and genuinely appear to care.

Would thoroughly recommend. My mum has been a resident here for 2 years. All staff go above and beyond their duty. There are activities there daily, if not more. There is also a cafe in the old building and my mum visits this on a daily basis.

Can't fault the professional service and care that Murrayfield House provide for my wife when she visits for a respite stay. The staff are really friendly and seem to care for those under their supervision.

Before becoming a resident the management team provided an excellent service showing me around Murrayfield House - the bedrooms, communal lounges and dining rooms and other facilities. Since becoming resident all the staff have been very friendly and the nursing and personal has been first class.

Mum came in for respite care and we were impressed so she is now a resident. She is settled and clearly well looked after. All staff are kind and helpful and any requests have been met. Her family can relax knowing she is well cared for. Would recommend to others and most importantly Mum is happy!

On visiting the care home it is a more like a hotel than a care home. Very clean and a nice happy atmosphere. Residents all seem happy and well cared for.
Activities are very good and keeps the residents active.

We have been very impressed with the standard of care provided. From the very first visit, all of the staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive. They took the time to really get to know my mum as an individual which made such a difference to her confidence. Overall, the residence has provided
us with peace of mind, during the transition and we are grateful for the compassion shown. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to others who are looking for high quality, person centred care. My mum is happy and settled.

Our experience of a two week respite stay at Murrayfield House was exceptional, from the booking process to the nuts and bolts of the stay itself, the whole team were kind, thoughtful and professional throughout. The experience, empathy and investment of the care staff in the comfort, well being and
enjoyment of residents really struck me, the ability to build rapport around complex care requirements is a huge selling point. Thank you to the while MH team.

My mum has been resident for almost 17 months. She seems happy and settled, knowing most of the staff and other residents by name. Mostly, she no longer knows me but I have peace of mind knowing she is safe and well cared for when I am not there. From what I see she loves the staff and they her. She
eats very well and since being there, through diet she no longer needs diabetes medication. Occasionally I get phone calls when she is having a good day so we can speak which is very much appreciated. I looked at a few other care homes prior to visiting Victoria Manor and there were definitely some I would not have been happy to put my mum in to. The staff are welcoming when I visit and there is generally a good atmosphere about the place.

My uncle moved into the care home 3 weeks ago from another facility which is closing. The transition from him moving from one home to another was made seamless by Victoria Manor.
The staff seem to genuinely care about the people in their care, and they are all friendly.
My uncle enjoys the food,
his room is clean and the facilities and gardens are nice. He has a room which looks out onto the garden and he likes to see people come and go.
Management are approachable and helpful.
We are glad we chose the home for my uncle.

My mother had the most wonderful respite stay at Murrayfield House in December. She reported to me that all the food was delicious and she had eaten every morsel! She enjoyed all the activities and there were carol singers who had visited too. Mum always says how much kindness is shown to her and how
good the care is when she stays. It provides us, her family, with great comfort to know how well cared for she is and how happy her visits to Murrayfield House make her. Thank you to all the staff.

My mum was in Victoria Manor for 7 months, she was dreading having to go to a care home and I cannot thank the staff enough for the care they gave mum and how kind they were to all my family. Mum was bedridden and the staff were always popping in to have a chat, they made the end of Mum's life a very
pleasant experience and I will always be so grateful to everyone in Sax-Coburn unit.
