Blair House

We arrived at Blair House today at 2.00pm to visit my sister. As always we were greeted by the staff and other residents in a very friendly and hospitable way. Blair House is always very welcoming and the staff encourage friends and family to get involved. My sister has settled in to Blair House very well and is always happy and relaxed on our arrival.

I like it here, been here for 4 weeks.

My parents moved to Blair House in 2007, both suffering with dementia. They were there together until my father passed away in 2014.

The care provided then was exceptional. My mother and I were supported by the manager and staff. My father, who died in hospital, was visited by his personal carers who, with permission, saw to his personal care one last time. I know this only because the Ward Sister told me.

My mother can be difficult, but nothing seems to phase the manager or staff. They chivvy her along, encouraging her to eat, drink and join in activities. She likes to sing so enjoys the visits of the entertainer.

We are told everything concerning her health and well being and involved in her care plan.

Mum rarely recognises us despite frequent visits and often sends us away, but I know that while she is in Blair House she is safe, well cared for and loved. That gives us peace of mind in a difficult situation. I can only commend and recommend the manager and staff and all they do.

Staff are nice and helpful can't say anymore. My wife is very difficult at the best of time.
