I am a fairly recent resident at Balnacarron and I have settled in very well over a good few weeks. That is down to the wonderful, management and all staff who have shown such great care and kindness, the kitchen staff too providing excellent meals with very good quality and variety, that has improved my diet and nutrition compared to living at home. There are many activities I am taking part in and they suit all abilities and needs. Without doubt I would recommend Balnacarron Care Home to anyone who needs to move into a care home facility.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. They all went above and beyond what I expected a care home to be like. I felt totally at ease leaving my father-in-law in their care. The home was very clean and the meals (those that I saw when visiting) all looked very good, a good amount and well...
I would not hesitate, if the time comes, to admit him permanently.
Thank you so much.

My sister was in Bolnacarron Care Home for three years. She received very good care. The staff were excellent and she was happy. There was always someone to chat to if I needed to discuss her care.

Mum has received excellent care during her 3 years in Balnacarron. The staff know her and her needs personally. We receive regular updates by email and phonecalls & we are asked our opinion but feel reassured that they are best placed to care for her needs. Mum appears happy and settled and engages...

One member of staff, in particular - she's in a class of her own! Such a caring, fun and vivacious person. She is the heart and soul of the home, Mum is very settled & happy.

My mum moved into Balnacarron Care Home in February 2024 and has really thrived in the very sociable atmosphere. The home is very well managed and all the staff are very caring and empathetic with all the residents. There is so much going on, arranged by the very enthusiastic entertainment manager. There are trips out on the minibus, regular church visits, live music sessions and a daily entertainment programme. Many residents are animal loves and they have many visits from pet owners with their well-behaved animals. My mum really has fun here and is safe and well cared for.

My dad had been a resident at Balnacarron for a year. The staff were exceptional, providing him with comfort, dignity and respect. My dad was a strong willed man, and was given the time + space to make his own decisions, always. After being hospitalised, Dad wanted to come home as he called it, to end his life. The end of life care he received was incredible. On the night he died, I was moved by the emotion and care shown by staff. An outstanding staff to trust your parents to.
Both my parents ended their days in Balnacarron - my dad dying there this month. The level of care, compassion and love shown to both my parents by the staff was exemplary. The care each of them received during their time there was faultless. Always clean, always treated with respect and dignity...
Both my parents ended their days in Balnacarron - my dad dying there this month. The level of care, compassion and love shown to both my parents by the staff was exemplary. The care each of them received during their time there was faultless. Always clean, always treated with respect and dignity and individual needs catered for above and beyond expectations. I and my wider family only have good things to say about the entire team at Balnacarron.
My mother is well catered for and cared for, there are no issues and she wants for nothing. Very pleased with the service.

I have had two relatives at Balnacarron Care Home over the last four-plus years and I have always been impressed with the level of care given and the level of commitment and care from the staff has been second to none.
