Murdoch House Care Home

We are very pleased that our friend has settled well in the home .

I have been delighted with Murdoch House. The caring + friendly atmosphere really gives it a 'family home' feel. The staff could not be more attentive - my mum is very fond of them, as they are of her. The food + activities are also varied + well-thought out, so all residents feel included. I always feel informed + that the staff know my mum very well.

Really friendly & attentive to her needs

Generally happy and staff all happy and always assisting. The atmosphere is great good vibe with carers, my mum enjoys being here. She has good company with other residents. She enjoys Bingo and going out with family and activities team

I am delighted by the care that my mum receives - she has been a resident now for 5 years and is still going strong!! we visit regularly and are always welcomed by Staff who are helpful, receptive to ideas and are committed to making my mums life as happy as possible,

The care home lets me come and go as I like. I've got free access to the doctors. I have my own mini fridge where I can store my food and my own power chair that I use to go into town and anywhere I would like to go

Murdoch House Care Home is very homely, and my mum likes living here. The staff are lovely and caring. We are very confident that Mum is having good care, and she feels safe and secure here.

Mum has never been very outgoing and finds it difficult to mix but she is enjoying the company of the staff and residents once she has got to know them, something she was missing living on her own.

Excellent care and well looked after.

My wife and I were both born in 1930 and married in 1954. In early 2019 we came to Murdoch House for an interview and afterwards, my wife said to me "I could live here" which was good enough for me. We came here March 2019, selling our house, and unfortunately, my wife passed away 29th of May 2023. The manager and staff have been very kind, understanding and supportive in the last horrible year for which I thank them very much.

My mother resides at Murdoch House. It's a very clean and happy home. Staff are very polite and take time with my mother, she can be challenging at times. They always treat her calmly and kindly. The food is lovely, I often see the lunches being put out and they look delicious. My mother loves the food. There are afternoon games, morning quizzes etc. Plus they take time to take her for a walk, she loves that. Her medicines are delivered to her throughout the day on time. The doctor calls for any health issues on a weekly basis, they have sometimes called the doctor in and they will always see her. The manager is always on hand, very kind and helpful. I would recommend this home to anyone.

After a couple of hospital stays we decided our mother would be safer in a home. The staff at Murdoch House made it possible for her to move in very quickly and everyone has been so caring and friendly. Mum misses her home but she is so happy in Murdoch House, it has made life easier for the whole family.

Well looked after. Enjoy going on the walks. Occasionally do the quizzes. The food is ok. The staff are always helpful if I need anything.

Excellent very good.

This review is never going to be in your favour as I never wanted to leave home in the first place. Having been overruled by my wife in that decision, I have to concede that I found the service and facilities entirely adequate. I did feel that entertainment was not their strong point. Having got to know the drill and the personnel, I would be quite happy to come again.

Very attentive and helpful staff. Mum was very well looked after and enjoyed her stay. The manager is very helpful with any questions and gave me piece of mind that Mum was ok.

As this is a relatively small care home offering accommodation at a comparatively low cost, obviously there are limitations in terms of what is provided in comparison with others viewed prior to making the decision to place our mother here. The team who care for the residents of Murdoch House is, nevertheless, quite outstanding. The attention given to residents' needs, the most important prerequisite when considering our mother's placement, is a massive strength. I simply cannot sing the praises of the carers who ensure my mother is happy as she could possibly be given her needs highly enough. It is a truly caring environment.

The staff are very kind and caring. Every time I visit my friend the staff are always helpful and caring. There is a nice atmosphere in the care home. The care home manager certainly does her best to care for her residents and ensures the standard she sets is maintained by her staff. Not an easy job for anyone.

Every effort is always made to ensure that my mother-in-law is well taken care of. The excellent staff made her 99th birthday an extremely happy day for her. They included as many residents as possible. If ever there is anything to report they do so as soon as possible which means I have total confidence in Murdoch House Care Home for my mother-in-law.

My sister and I are very happy with our mum being in Murdoch House. It takes the strain away from us to know that she is being fed well, given the right medication at the correct time, and has people to chat with and do activities with. She is taken into town which is great and they have little extra touches over and above what is necessary. She is listened to and kept safe. Thank you.
