The care home has been way better than I thought it would be. The staff look after mum as if they were family. The care they give is so much more than just a job they really love the residents. I was talking to mum as a cleaner came in to restock and said hello and asked if she was ok?.

My mum went to live at Buchan House at the beginning of December 2020 after leaving her home and being in hospital for a fortnight... it could have been a very difficult time as she was in a strange place with no familiar faces and we could not visit in the pod for the first fortnight due to COVID restrictions. We have found the manager and staff to be extremely caring and patient... my sisters and I continually phoned for updates on how Mum was doing, and they, in turn, contacted us if they felt we needed to be updated. I have now been able to visit her face to face as restrictions are gradually lifted and find her happy and upbeat... the staff are very kind to her, and for us as her family, this is most important. We very much appreciate the hard work and extra duties the Buchan House staff have given during this very difficult time.

Care for my husband with advanced dementia could not be better. Staff are always kind, patient, professional and attentive. They are assiduous in keeping me informed and have managed the difficult situation presented by Covid restrictions exceptionally well. Updates on visiting regulations are full and easy to understand and my visits have been made easy by prompt testing and the provision of safe spaces to meet my husband. I saw his room for the first time today and I am impressed by its comfort and cleanliness. Overall I am happy that he is being very well looked after, with sympathy, kindness and dignity.
Very happy with the care my mother is receiving. It was not my first choice but I soon realised it was the best choice. The staff are so caring and Mum is happy and safe, I could not wish for more.

I find Bchan House, especially at this time with all the Coronavirus, have gone the extra mile to keep the residents family at last, able to see our relatives. The hard work and hours all the carers and management put in to make the home safe has not gone unnoticed. I would like to thank all the staff, especially the manager and a gentleman for all their help and support. Also, the lady in activities.

Have found all staff very friendly towards Mum and ourselves when visiting. This also applies to other patients in the home. We are always updated when we visit on Mum's health and well being which we find reassuring. They offer different activities for patients to keep them occupied.
