Wyvis House Care Home

I also have to express my gratitude to carehome.co.uk for finding Wyvis House and putting me in touch with them at a very stressful time when I felt like I was drowning in all of the work required to get my dad into residential care, I'm sincerely grateful. Thank you.

Although initially unsure about the move, my parents were soon delighted with the friendly staff, quality of care and excellent food! The nursing and care staff were endlessly patient and compassionate, despite some difficult behaviour at times. They are also very kind to me as a carer and keep me very well informed. Sadly, due to serious health issues, Mum died in hospital 6 months ago. I was astounded at the extra attention showered on Dad in the following tough months by nurses, carers, kitchen and maintenance staff! I know that with lesser care he would not have pulled through. Now, he is getting stronger and smiling again! We both appreciate knowing he has the best 24/7 nursing and social care.

Mum is a resident at Wyvis House Care Home where she has been for 8 months now and has settled well. The staff are all amazing and have the residents best interests at heart. Mum finds it difficult to accept help but the staff have continually worked with her to gain her confidence. The staff are always polite and courteous when we visit and they keep us informed of matters relating to Mum. Overall, I don't think we could've found a better home for Mum to be in.

My aunt has been a resident at Wyvis House for almost six years. I have been pleased with the care she has received. I feel the staff have had a very difficult job to do during the Covid pandemic, keeping their residents safe and doing activities when they can under very trying circumstances. I have been informed of any changes to visiting patterns. I really appreciate the personal attention they have given to my aunt when I cannot be there.

My mum has been a resident in Wyvis House for 2 years now and has been extremely well looked after. This is very reassuring for me as I live 300 miles away and have been unable to visit due to Covid and family circumstances. However, my brother and I speak to her regularly on WhatsApp and can see how well she is doing despite her dementia. I am kept well informed of her needs and the staff should be praised for keeping the home Covid free.

My mother has been delighted with the care she has received since moving into Wyvis House. The staff are always very helpful and go above and beyond to ensure my mother is made comfortable whilst in their care.

My father was in very poor health both physically and mentally when he entered Wyvis House. As he says, and I quote, I have been rejuvenated.

Wonderful to see my father in law involved in several activities which will enhance his well being and are shared with the family on the Storii app. As we live a long way away from him this communication is priceless as are the video calls we receive with himself and his lovely carer. We are so reassured that he receives the very best of care and are very grateful for it.

My mother who lives with dementia has been a resident of Wyvis House since the autumn of 2019. From the very first day mam was settled, very happy and content. The staff are so friendly, kind, helpful and compassionate and always treat mam with the utmost respect. When visiting, staff always welcome you warmly and when asked will update you how my mother is getting on. The activities co-ordinators do a fantastic job of arranging entertainment which my mother enjoys especially music. I’m kept well informed by the nursing staff of how mam is. I highly recommend Wyvis House and cannot thank staff enough for the loving care they give to mam.

The care my dad has received from all the staff has been superb. I am not in the UK so it could be a huge worry for me to not be on hand but I am 100% confident that my dad is safe and extremely well looked after. All the staff are friendly, kind and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My mother has been a resident for almost 3 years now and is very well looked after in Wyvis House. The staff are caring, friendly, and conscientious, the food is excellent, and the staff work hard to keep the residents occupied and happy with activities and entertainment. I have no hesitation in recommending this care home to any prospective resident.

Mum has been well looked after and cared for, the staff really do care for the residents and put their welfare above all else.

My mother lived in Wyvis House for two years, as she was failing physically. She was as sharp as a tack mentally and so, when she told me repeatedly that the staff at Wyvis were its greatest strength, I knew this to be so. She thought very highly of everyone there: the owners, the management, the care-workers, the admin staff, the domestic staff, the laundresses, the hairdresser, the handymen, the activity coordinators and the catering staff. She actively participated in the residents' meetings, where she never shied away from making constructive suggestions and following these up if she thought they hadn't been actioned. She was fortunate to have had many loyal visitors while she was a resident and appreciated the voluntary visitors who also popped in to see her. All her visitors were treated with friendliness and respect. My mother passed away in May 2020 aged 97, having won her last game of Scrabble two weeks previously. She was always treated with the utmost compassion there.

My wife was a resident at Wyvis for two years. She was very well treated and the staff were extremely kind and considerate. They kept in touch with me and were always kind to my wife, who died in February 2021 from natural causes.
