My husband has been in Gairloch House since Feb 2026, I am and family are very happy, with the care and love shown to my husband and myself. The entertainment side could be improved.

I have encountered many care homes in my professional capacity but at Gairloch House they really do "care". Not just for the residents but for the whole family.

My friend has been in care now for a year but only in Gairloch House since Nov 2025. He has settled in and when asked if he likes living there he always replies yes he does. He gets on with staff and management. As he suffers from dementia he can sometimes be a bit difficult but staff are always on hand polite and caring. He does spend most of his time in his room but that seems to be what he wants to do, he also is allowed into the garden and has a cigarette which he enjoys so this care home is ticking all boxes for his needs so I have no worries of his well being.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that your friend has settled in so well at Gairloch House and feels happy living there.

My mum has lived in this care home for the past 18 months. I cannot recommend this care home enough. She is very well looked after and happy. The staff are lovely and kind, nothing is too much trouble.

My father was admitted to Gairloch House a few weeks ago. The handover from the hospital was delayed by quite a few hours but he was received with the utmost care even though it was much later than expected. My father is being treated with great care and respect during a very confusing and difficult time for him. His personal care is done with respect. He is well looked after. I would recommend Gairloch House for dementia care.
We're really glad to hear that, despite the delay with the hospital handover, your father was welcomed and cared for so well. We know how difficult and confusing this time can be, so it's reassuring to hear that he's being treated with such respect and...

I am very pleased with the level of care provided at this care home. From the moment you walk through the door, there is a warm, friendly atmosphere that immediately puts families at ease.
The facilities are clean, but are tired special the bedrooms. Activities are varied and engaging, helping residents stay active and connected. Communication with families is excellent, and staff are always willing to provide updates or answer questions.I would like to see more staff engaging with the residents on a one tone basis instead of having to fill in forms on their ipads but I do know they are always having to keep up with training.
Overall, this care home provides a safe, caring, and supportive environment where residents are treated with dignity and respect. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality care for their loved one.
We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the bedrooms and staff time spent on devices. We are continually reviewing our...

Mum was only here for a short while for respite care as I needed her to be nearer where I live to visit. She seemed very happy and even joined in playing bingo which she loved. All the residents were always up sitting in their chairs looking very clean and well dressed. The carers were all very kind to Mum. The food was good and the chef made sure the food was soft and edible for her as she had trouble eating. They had a halloween party while she was there which all relatives of the residents were welcome and food, drink and entertainment was provided which was very good. I would recommend this home, The care home manager Ibrahim was always very helpful and was always there if you had a question to be answered.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words, and we'll keep your comments in mind as we continue working to improve our services. I will also make sure your feedback is shared with our Gairloch House team.
Very happy with the treatment your giving my sister. She is doing more at his care home, then the other care home she was in. She gets a bit upset some days. She is settled down in this care home. Her memory is her problem she has.

My experience of the home is mostly positive. The staff and management do a fantastic job. They are very welcoming and pleased to help. My mum is well cared for, from what I can see. Sometimes she has food-stained clothes on, or someone else's clothes on. Have started writing her name in her slippers, as once I saw them on someone else. That was before the management changed. Since then all ok. I have rated the room as satisfactory as it's a tiny room. My feelings towards the cost are very negative.
Thank you for your feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and will use your comments to continue improving our services. I will also make sure to share your positive remarks with all the staff at Gairloch House.

My father was a resident of Gairloch House for several years, and I visited it frequently. The care home was very well managed, with the welfare of the residents always in mind. The staff carried out all procedures to safeguard residents and deal with any emergencies promptly and efficiently. I was always impressed by the kindness, respect, patience and friendliness of the staff. They made every effort to celebrate birthdays and special occasions and welcome visitors. The care home is in a quiet location, with a pleasant garden which residents can enjoy in the summer. My father thoroughly enjoyed the meals the chefs prepared. My family was therefore very happy with the care given to my father at Gairloch House.
Hi, thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear that your family is satisfied with the service provided to your father. I will pass your compliments and kind words to our team.
The care and patience all the staff give my nan (who has a lot of bad/challenging days) are amazing, but the deputy manager and senior team really go above...
It took me a long time to come to terms with Nan living in a care home and after a bad experience at a previous different care home, it made me feel terrible that we as a family couldn't look after her, but with the care Nan currently receives at Gairloch, I honestly wouldn't want my nan to be looked after by anyone else.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We are so pleased you are happy with the care and support your nan is receiving here at Gairloch House.

Externally the home looks like it could benefit from a bit of TLC but don't let this put you off, the staff have always been friendly and caring towards my dad and treat him and the other residents with respect. They are always welcoming when I go to visit and work hard in what is a difficult occupation. They have dealt with any medical issues in a timely and positive manner and have always kept me informed of any ongoing issues. Due to the design of the property, the rooms are all a bit different and some residents personalise their own bedrooms. This adds to the charm of the home and it gives it a homely feel unlike some more modern corporately owned care homes that I have visited. I have been extremely satisfied with the care my dad has received.
Thank you for this review. We really appreciate all positive feedback.
