Murdoch House is a very special place. It is home to my mother and my father-in-law. The staff are wonderful and show kindness and consideration for their needs. My mother had been a resident for about six months, then my father-in-law became unwell, I had no hesitation in finding him a place there...
Thank you Murdoch House.
I spent two weeks in respite care while my wife was away. My stay was excellent. The staff were wonderful, with a special mention for one member of staff, in particular.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience of our home. We are pleased to learn it has been so positive.
I have been in care for 2 weeks. During this time the carers have been caring and helpful. My room is light and comfortable, in my case the ensuite is a blessing. COVID has restricted movement and interaction, but the staff have remained attentive and always cheerful even when tired.

The staff are so lovely at Murdoch House. Mum has been here for 4 years now and they all go over and above their call to help make her comfortable. I can’t thank them enough. They are all fantastic. A special shout out to one member of staff, in particular, who is an angel in disguise.

Staff are friendly and obliging and can't do enough to make Dad safe and as comfortable as possible.

Having had to relocate my mother, who is 99, I was worried about how she would adapt to the move. I need not have worried as everyone, from the manager and the rest of the staff, have been brilliant in making her feel at home and caring for her every need, including medical attention. They have shown so much compassion, empathy and love to her and keeping in touch with us, especially with the COVID situation, on how she was coping with the changes. I think if ever I was in need of care in the future I could do not better than moving to Murdoch House. I am so thankful to all of the staff for their professionalism especially in this difficult time., Many thanks, Murdoch House, god bless. I can say no more!

Mum was initially reluctant to move – believing that she did not need care – but she has settled well and is very happy. I cannot fault the care and attention she has received; all the staff are so kind, dedicated and patient, and nothing is too much trouble. It is a relatively small home, with a core group of staff who have been there all the time that Mum has, so they know her (and the other residents) very well and this has certainly helped Mum. Communication has been brilliant, especially during the Covid crisis when visits weren’t allowed, and I receive regular updates. Equally, if I have any questions, I know I can just pick up the phone and the matter is resolved very quickly.
All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the home.

Murdoch House is a happy place and has contributed greatly to keeping Mum fed and well even though she had a couple of health issues.

My mum stayed at Murdoch House for several weeks following a stay in hospital. I was very impressed with the standard of care Mum received and the staff kept in regular touch with me to keep me updated on Mum's progress.

My mum has been in the care home for nearly two years, and during all of that time, I cannot fault the staff for their dedicated and wonderful care they have given to mum. They have always been extremely welcoming to me, informative, friendly (but professional) and approachable. A core group of staff have been consistent during the time mum has been with them - this has helped mum settle, build lovely relationships with them and feel happy - feels like a little 'family' around her.

They formed a close knit and effective team to look after the residents at what was a very difficult time.
She was helped to cope with being confined to the home and not seeing relatives by their kindness and good will.
The care workers treat her as a person and always find time to talk to her.
If we or she has a problem they take it seriously and try to solve it.

Murdoch House staff, management and carers have always been very friendly and accommodating when looking after my mother. I know my mother always feels comfortable about staying at Murdoch House when I tell her she is booked in for respite care. I would recommend Murdoch House to others.

My Dad stayed at Murdoch House for the last 7 weeks of his life. He was made very comfortable and looked after very well. It was no trouble when he wasn't eating due to his cancer. They offered him whatever he fancied eating. He had a lovely room that had doors that opened into the garden.

He began her career in care as a cook. He went on to become a carer and gain her NVQ qualifications. He got her first position in management in 2014. She is very proud of receiving a ‘Good’ CQC rating in the last two homes that she has managed.
Words of encouragement for someone looking for the right care home would be: “Look for somewhere that feels like an extended home. Look out for staff who are happy in their work.”
