My wife and I visited this care home on the 10th of January 2025 to see our aunt on her 103rd birthday. We found the overall experience excellent and the staff were most obliging. It is very reassuring to know our aunt is in such capable hands. I have only rated things pertaining to our visit.

My uncle has been a resident since June 2024 as he was no longer able to cope with stairs due to lack of mobility. He was initially concerned how he would adapt and cope after living on his own for 13 years. He has settled in quickly, knows all the staff by their first name, has gained weight and is much more positive in his outlook. As someone who has never participated in family games at Christmas, he is participating in all the wonderful activities that two particular members of staff dream up and is always the first to volunteer for any new experience. I knew from previous experience 2015 - 2020 how good the home was but the whole experience is even better than it was five years ago. My uncle is happy, we are happy and so are all his many visitors and social media followers.
Many thanks for the lovely feedback given. I will pass on to all our staff for the recognition they fully deserve.
All I can comment on is what I have seen up until now. All looks excellent.

Since my mother was taken into care here, her life has taken a turn for the better. The staff have made her feel welcome and have got to know her well. Family have also been made to feel very welcome and the open visitor policy makes it easier to visit Mum.

The staff were very welcoming and attentive. As a family member, I was told to feel at home as it was my aunt's home. I love seeing the activities offered.

I cannot recommend or praise Ardnahein highly enough. The physical, emotional and social care provided at Ardnahein is exceptional, with staff consistently meeting the high standards and expectations of management. The physical environment is always improving, and the team take time to ensure residents really do feel at home. There are interesting and exciting activities on a daily basis alongside a range of celebrations each month to recognise important dates/events such as St. Andrew’s Day, Remembrance Day etc, which keeps residents enthusiastic and motivated. My great-aunt is nearly 102 years old, and I am so happy that we found Ardnahein to ensure her last few years are as joyous and adventurous as the rest of her life!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We are always looking for events and dates that we can celebrate; we do love an excuse for a party. Your great-aunt is very much a big part of the Ardnahein family and is always first to get involved in the activities, no matter what it is!

My mum moved to Ardnahein in Spring 2021 after falling and breaking her hip. Due to Covid, it was very difficult to choose a care home for Mum as everything had to be done by telephone. The manager couldn't have been more helpful and was able to give us full confidence that Mum would be well looked after and cared for. This has been the case since day one, and Mum is very much part of the Ardnahein family. I can't thank them enough for all they do.
Many thanks for your kind review. We will continue to provide exceptional service, and your mum and you will always be a big part of the Ardnahein family.
