Selkirk House has very good standards, very clean everywhere. I am happy living here. The staff are very caring and helpful. On the odd occasion when someone is not very helpful, when reported, it is dealt with in a pleasant way by management.

When end of life care was established the care she received was above and beyond anywhere else she could have been nursed.
Wonderful people.

Overall Experience
Well looked after - minor ailments attended to promptly - staff friendly and helpful but over anxious to get everyone seated for meals, long wait for service as a result.

I experienced this care home for four and a half years (Sept 10-April 15) when my older sister resided there and again from March 2016 to present day and now my second sister is a resident and have found it excellent in all respects. I am a frequent visitor there and have only ever found it faultless in all respects - a real home from home.

When my Mother-in-Law, who is 101, had a 'turn' early one evening, the staff on duty called me and the care and affection they showed to her while she was not completely conscious, and to me while I sat with her that evening, was a lesson to me why they are 'care staff'. While we all expected her to pass that evening, by the next day she was back to her usual self and oblivious to all the attention she had received, and we were all amazed. These ladies who care are a special breed (the men too!)

Overall Experience
The staff at Selkirk House have made Mum's transition to a Care Home very straightforward and it is a great comfort to know she is so happy and well looked after. Her room is lovely and like home from home with her own belongings. Our family would highly recommend this care home.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
