Overall Experience

My mother spent nearly two years in Cairn Home, only leaving in August 2025 because her changing needs necessitated a move from residential to nursing care.
I would like to thank staff of all designations for the wonderful care they gave my mother during this time. She was a very independent lady, for whom the move into residential care from her own home of 70 years was a huge step. The warmth and sensitivity of the staff was instrumental in helping her adjust to the change.
My mother took part in the various activities on offer (I never expected to see a photograph of her holding a snake or with a pony in her room!). In particular, she loved to be in the garden - a hidden gem. As far as possible, family visits took place there.
My mother's description on first visiting Cairn Home was that it was 'homely'. The lovely touches around the place, especially the beautifully set tables in the dining room, made it so.

Dear JackieThank you very much for taking the time to share your kind words about your mother's experience at Cairn Home. We are truly touched by your thoughtful feedback.
It was a privilege to care for your mother over nearly two years, and we are delighted that our team could provide the warmth, support, and sensitivity to help her adjust to such a significant change. We are also thrilled to hear she enjoyed the activities and spent time in the garden - it's wonderful to know she embraced new experiences and felt at home here.
Your comments about the homely environment and the small touches around the home, including the dining area, are very much appreciated. We will be sure to share your message with all staff, as it will mean a great deal to them to know their care made such a difference.
Thank you again for your kind words and for entrusting us with your mother's care. We wish you and your family all the very best.
Warm regards,Liz Gurler
