We go on a regular basis, once a month. They do not know when we will turn up, but we always get a friendly greeting. The home is always clean and tidy with no smells. I find the staff very caring and encouraging. Annette, the manager, keeps us informed as we act as next of kin and is never too busy to listen if we have any concerns. It is certainly the best place for my sister in law.
We also aim to keep offensive smells away by providing good personal care and good cleaning regime.
your mother in law is very happy and settled here, this makes me very happy.

On arrival were greeted like old friends. E was having her hair done by the hairdresser. When she had finished, she was brought into the main lounge and helped to find a seat where both my wife and I could also sit around her. It is noticeable that the staff are always around, and in the main lounge, I feel that the care the residents receive is excellent. If it has a fault, it does not look like a first-class hotel, which some care homes try to achieve.
we continue to offer person centred care to our services user's to help them to feel more at home.
My dad has been here about 4 months now and is well looked after. It is a homely place with caring staff.

I secured a move for my mum to Willowbank after her spending over 6 months in her previous home. What a difference and what an amazing place! The staff can't do enough to help mum, but seeing them interact with the other residents is a joy to watch. On her second day, she was up and dressed to join other residents in the dining room after being bedbound for the previous 6 months. She improved physically, mentally and emotionally in less than 2 weeks. I can't speak highly enough of the management and staff.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We strive in our commitment to help service user's progress and encourage interactions with others. Your mum is inspirational and has come far.
The home is very good. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

Mum came to Willowbank on 24th Feb 2025, and after being at home being looked after by carers, our dad and family, we have noticed mum is a lot happier and able to feed herself and enjoy socialising with the other residents. I have noticed from my first day in Willowbank how caring and kind the staff are. It's like one big happy family. I have just one concern that the new GP has stopped giving mum her B12 and I have asked the care home to chase this up please.
Thank you for your response, I am glad that your mum is happy at Willowbank. Responding to your comment re GP, it took a while for them to get back to us after several messages sent. This is now rectified. Should you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate in letting me know :)
