It seems that there is nothing that they will stop at to help us and make the residents feel more comfortable. There is a real family atmosphere within the facility and the dedication is evident from the staff through to the managers.
We were truly blessed that my grandmother was able to spend her final 4 years at this location.

The staff have become good friends with my mother and my family member. I feel confident that she will always be listened to and encouraged to make the most of each day.
The atmosphere is always cheerful and uplifting, just what elderly folks need.
The rooms are comfortable and "homely". Spotless and peaceful.

I would like to say that I am extremely happy with the care that my mother in law gets at Murdoch House. The staff are excellent and treat everyone the same, in fact, it is so good I would go there myself.

We took our aunt to Murdoch House for respite and she loved it.
So this year, again she went for respite and they put her in a permanent room, as then if she wanted to stay she could, which she did!
She is extremely happy, which makes us very happy too.
My mother's stay (over a year) was a settled and enjoyable one. The staff work hard and in good spirits which helps immensely for the residents own well being. Residents can participate in whatever they choose or simply amuse themselves on a day to day basis, though events are planned...
The house is warm, friendly and a good safe environment and I would definitely recommend it.
Lovely en suite room, nice pleasant staff, food good, my family always welcome. Happy as can be. This home deserves a medal!

My mother is a resident at Murdoch House and I feel confident knowing that she receives the best possible care which is very comforting being as I am so far away. On my various visits to Murdoch House, I couldn't help but notice the kindness/patience and exceptional care of the staff. Regardless of how busy they are - there is always a friendly smile and a good happy atmosphere at Murdoch House. Another thing I should mention is the great food served up each and every day. Friends and family visit my mum and email me often telling me how happy and well looked after my Mother is. My thanks to the manager and all the staff.
Mum decided after 50+ years in her own flat that she wanted to go into a care home where she would be cared for on a 24-hour basis. She subsequently went into Murdoch House Care Home and could not be happier and neither could her immediate family. Murdoch House Care Home generates a real family...
Mum decided after 50+ years in her own flat that she wanted to go into a care home where she would be cared for on a 24-hour basis. She subsequently went into Murdoch House Care Home and could not be happier and neither could her immediate family. Murdoch House Care Home generates a real family atmosphere where everyone is on first name terms (staff and residents). The staff are very caring and considerate to all individual needs (both reasonable and unreasonable). Mum also says,"the food is very good!" Most of all she is happy in her new home.

Her room over looks the beautiful garden. My aunt said she wouldn't want to be anywhere else, she very happy, they are all so kind and caring and she said she feels safe.
It's a very homely home, I came in as respite and now staying permanent, staff very helpful, treated with dignity. I would not want to be anywhere else, they are so kind, nothing too much trouble. Food is nice, home cooking just what I like.

My mother has just spent a week's respite care at Murdoch House while my husband and I went away on holiday.
My overriding impression is of the wonderful staff who made us feel at ease immediately and helped everything go smoothly all along the way.
The staff were cheerful, polite, and communicative.
The respite room my mother stayed in was large and bright with an ensuite shower and toilet. As well as a bed and adequate storage there were 2 arm chairs facing the television and a dining type chair. Everything was spotlessly clean.
Even though my Mum was only there for a week a hairdresser visited and cut my Mum's hair and the entertainment director took my my Mum for a walk outside in a wheelchair.
I feel so comfortable when I visit mum, the staff are so nice and...
I feel so comfortable when I visit mum, the staff are so nice and always have time for a chat, it like visiting her at home.
