My sister and I chose this home for our 97 year old aunt, as we felt it had such a homely and welcoming atmosphere. We are so impressed with the way our aunt is looked after by the wonderful, kind and caring staff. Although she was reluctant to leave her flat, our aunt has thrived in this home and seems so much happier. There are activities and entertainment to stimulate and enjoy, as well as lots of little treats - chocolate bars, fruit or ice cream in the afternoon. We would not hesitate to recommend this outstanding care home.
The care of my Grandad was exceptional, from the day he moved in until he recently passed away. The staff are amazing. He was so well looked after and we are especially grateful for the care and attention in his final days and hours. Thank you for giving us peace of mind.

My mother lived here for the last 3 years of her life. All the staff treated her with dignity and respect and they went out of their way particularly for the last 6 months of her life. I cannot thank them enough for their support.

We visited a number of care homes before choosing Blair Park. We were struck with the warm feeling you got when entering. The staff are excellent, caring and friendly. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for any of them. There is a wonderful feeling of happiness in the home.

The home is a proper home, the staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.
Mum is happy with company all day and care overnight, the food looks very nice and the clients are happy. That's all I wanted, my mum to be cared for and happy after a life devoted to others.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do and if I need care in the future I hope you're there for me.

Before Mum needed more care than I could give, I had a bad image of care homes in my head. Then I learnt what a good care home is like. Blair Park gave mum the care and attention all of us need. She was happy there and for that, I am so grateful. The staff treat the residents with respect. The atmosphere is one of happiness and comfort. The staff are cheerful and ensure that everyone is cared for properly. I could not have found a better place for Mum to end her days.
I found the home to feel a warm and friendly place, the staff of all ages keen to please and very helpful. I have recommended it to all the people looking for a safe place for their loved ones.

The staff at this care home are always welcoming and approachable. They always have time for the residents and chat to them by name. The residents here enjoy the activities that are set out for them and there is generally plenty going on but obviously, there is down time too.

Staff are very good. Residents are kept active where possible with regular things on to keep them entertained using music and singing, professional entertainers used regularly.

My mother has been at Blair Park for seven months. I have been very impressed with the care mum receives. The staff (all) are very kind and caring including the managers. The residents are treated with dignity and respect, all look very clean in their appearance. The food and choice looks appetising and they get extras of bananas, choc bars in the afternoons. There is regular entertainment, nails painted, bingo etc. The home is always warm, clean, also toilets. My mother commented that staff were very kind, They also pay good attention to their needs. We feel confident we have chosen the right care home which gives us peace of mind and would recommend it to friends and neighbours.
