Over all time Blenham House has 28 reviews.
My review is relating to my mum's year long stay at Blenham House. She had genuine care here, that included her emotional needs and needs of the family. I am forever grateful. There are so many activities and time made available. Residents are treated as individuals and with respect and dignity.
Thank you very much for providing your feedback on the care that your mum received with us. We aim to provide care that is right for each individual and it is so pleasing to hear your recognition of this.
Our dad received amazing care at Blenham House. All the staff were kind and courteous towards him and every family member that visited. Dad had Alzheimer's but was well aware of the level of care he was receiving, and was delighted to be there. He was cleanly shaven with his teeth brushed and in fresh clothes every day. This may seem like a standard level of care you would expect your elderly relative to receive anywhere, but I know from experience that it's not to the same standard at every hospital or care home. All at Blenham House provide this at the base level of their excellent care, often going far above and beyond. The meals provided at Blenham House are nutritious and appealing, with the chef happy to receive suggestions to ensure residents can enjoy their favourites. The manager and all her staff can feel proud of their wonderful facility that provides such a beautiful experience for vulnerable residents at the end stage of their lives, and such care and compassion shown to the family.
We are so pleased to hear that your dad was delighted to be with us, to receive a high standard of care to meet his needs. We really appreciate your feedback and for highlighting the nutritious meals, and the support the team extended to your family. Many thanks for taking the time to get in touch.
My dad lived at Blenham House Care Home until he died, of advanced Alzheimer's, and during that time was looked after with incredible loving kindness by the entire team. Everyone from the kitchen and housekeeping, to nurses and carers, as well as management and admin staff were true friends to him and made our whole family feel welcome and included in every aspect of his life there. Their relationship with the local GP practice is excellent. I can highly recommend Blenham House to families who are looking for genuine care for a loved one in an unpretentious, upbeat environment where your concerns are taken seriously and nothing is too much bother.
Thank you so much for your feedback, and your recommendation for Blenham House. It is so good to hear that your dad was so well looked after, and that you felt so included and welcome as a family.
My mum is receiving excellent care at Blenham House Care Home and her overall health has improved immensely since being admitted there.
I can not fault Blenham House at all. All of my family members are extremely grateful for the excellent care our mum is receiving.
I live in Tampa, Florida and travel over to Edinburgh as often as I can to see my mum. I call my mum most days and she is always happy and content. This is a huge relief for me, being so far away to hear my mum happy.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased that you are happy with the care provided to your mum and that you have noticed an improvement in her health.
The care for my father-in-law has been exemplary, with the management team being particularly responsive. All members of staff are very kind and caring with them all remembering the names of residents and regular visitors. The care is professional and knowledgeable and the wishes of residents/relatives are listened to. Visitors are always welcomed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the care for your father-in-law. We are so pleased to hear that the care and attention to be of a high standard from the management and all of the team.
I really cannot commend Blenham House highly enough. My mother moved into Blenham in March 22, and the care she received was exemplary. The care that was also extended to me and my family as my mother approached the end of her life was first-class. I would not hesitate to recommend Blenham House to anyone looking for care for a family member.
Thank you very much for your review regarding the care your mother received during her time with us at Blenham House. The team aim to offer such high standards and will therefore be so pleased to hear this feedback.
I cannot recommend Blenham House Care Home highly enough. The respectful care and kindness shown by all the staff is amazing. They really get to know the actual people in their care. There are many activities and outings for residents and plenty of pleasant social areas. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There is just such a cheery atmosphere throughout. Communication about my husband is excellent. The staff always make me feel welcome when I visit and give me so much emotional support.
Thank you very much for your review. We have shared this with the team and everyone is so pleased with your recommendation. It is lovely to hear that you are so pleased with the care for your husband and also the ongoing support and communication.
All the family are so pleased with the care mum is receiving at Blenham House, all the staff are very friendly and although mum has only been there a couple of months, they have got to know her well. This includes manager, kitchen, domestic and admin staff. Always something going on eg singing, bus trip etc. Blenham House itself is so light and airy with numerous lounges to use when visiting. Very well run. We were anxious as to how mum would settle as can be bit difficult at times due to her dementia but staff have been great. Nothing too much trouble.
Thank you very much for letting us know about the care you feel your mum is receiving at Blenham House. The staff will be delighted to hear this feedback. It is also so pleasing to hear that your mum is settled and enjoying some of the activities.

I came to Blenham House in 2007 when it was newly opened. It has been a challenge and somewhat of a labour of love to have helped shape it into what we have today – something that would have been impossible without the dedication and hard work of our great staff. I hope (and know) that our Residents and their families feel that this is their home. We try very hard to respect the choices of individuals, which leads to quite a diverse little community here. I know I am doing my job well when I can see lots of smiling faces – both Residents and Staff!
