During the last few weeks of mums life we found all staff to be very caring and compassionate and couldn't do enough for her at any time of day and night, mum had lived there for just short of 5 years and got to know the staff really well and felt really comfortable at this care home.
You treat everyone with respect, kindness and give the best care possible to every resident as if they were your own family. You looked after my Mother in law better than we ever could and knowing she was with you gave us comfort.
She loved being with you. You could see that when we came to see her and she loved the amazing home cooked meals you provided for her.
We never had any problems while she was with you but if we ever needed anything you were always around to give assistance.
I would highly recommend your care setting to anyone as you are amazing.
Thank you all
My friend was there for respite but she was taken into hospital ware she sadly died. The staff and manager was brilliant they couldn't do enough for my friend she loved her stay there the staff are lovely people so pleasant and very caring they even did her nails for her
She had been a resident in Breadalbane Care Home for 4 years which she considered her home.
Many thanks to everyone.
We are very happy with the care she received,
and grateful for the last few days .
Special thanks to one of the staff members and her crew and someone in particular for his support.
I think it is fair to say, there are places that are more upmarket and modern. But dementia patients need TLC and cleanliness, Breadalbane care home provide that.
My mum has been in Breadalbane Care Home for over 3 years, and is happy, well cared for and thinks this is her home. As a family we are happy with her care.
My mum has been living at Breadalbane Residential Care Home for two years now, she suffers from vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. I'm very happy with the care she receives, she is well looked after, comfortable and warm, she eats well and she has a lot of affection for the staff members and they for her.
Mum is 89 and has been suffering with Vascular Dementia for around 4 years, during this time she has lived at home alone with support from her family and carers.
As her condition got worse, she has been unable to live alone, even with support, and now needs 24-hour care.
This transition has not only been very emotionally difficult for our mum but for us and all the family too. The staff, including the Owner and Manager, made the transition as smooth as possible and worked with us well to settle Mum in. She has a lovely room, and we were able to do whatever we wanted in the room to make it a home from home.
She is very settled since moving in and the staff are so nice, both to Mum and to us. We have seen a video of Mum dancing and singing with a performer who visited the home, it was so good to see her enjoying some of the things she did before her life with dementia.
Thank you.
Mum was well looked after and loved by the staff. Staff were very helpful at all times, very caring sometimes in difficult situations. Had a good choice of homemade food, made stuff she fancied. When not well, doctor or nurse called straight away when needed.
My mother was in residence for just over two years and in that time, I could not fault the service that she received. If there were any problems with my mother they informed me straight away, from having eye tests to even the odd fall, the staff were all very good and friendly. The staff have a tough job but always found time to answer any questions we had and the owner and manager always made time to have a chat with us.
