Hadn't seen our friend in a year, when she was living in her own home, amazing improvement in her appearance and health. It was an impromptu visit, we were...
We can't thank the staff enough for making our visit so good and for taking such good care of our friend.
The manager, staff are very friendly and helpful. Good feel to the home when you walk in very clean, massive improvement to the home. I was very impressed, as it was years since I had been in, well done to the staff.

On each visit, I have found the staff to be courteous, pleasant and welcoming. They appear to treat the residents with patience and care, addressing them by name and taking time to communicate with them.

My observation is that my friend is so relaxed, so comfortable, so well cared for, so well-fed and so grateful to all the staff for their kindness, care and smiles.

Catherine thank you very much for your positive review of the care at Ardnahein.
I cannot commend Ardnahein enough in the care of my relative. All staff are friendly, approachable and able to help with any questions I had quickly. My relative has been treated with dignity and respect at all times.

My father has been a resident at Ardnahein since October 2018. He suffers from dementia and various other related and non-related health problems. The staff have been nothing short of amazing in the care they provide for him. His care plan is tailored and adapted to his ever-changing needs and is met in every way, particularly as his health is deteriorating. He has a lovely clean, warm room with en-suite facilities. The care staff engage and interact with him keeping his spirits up as he has lost his mobility and is now virtually bed bound, but they manage to get a laugh and joke with him, which is so important to him. Even more important they treat him as a person, not just someone they look after, giving him dignity and respect and getting to know him, his sense of humour and his interests. I honestly cannot praise the staff of this care home enough - from the manager to the domestic staff and everyone in between they are so caring and friendly and dedicated to what they do.
Thank you so much for your kind words; your comments mean a great deal to our staff team. We appreciate you taking the time to review your positive experience at Ardnahein.
Very caring and helpful.

Many thanks for your review of our service, this is very much appreciated.
Very few you can have a conversation with. So many noisy dementia residents, so I stay in my room a lot. Short of small walks.

Really excellent care and attention in a well run and very friendly home. Made at ease from first minute of entry and all during the stay.

My mother has been in this home for several months now. She has made great health improvements since being admitted as she requires lots of attention and company. Her diet has also improved. Please thank all the staff for their kind support.

This was my shortest visit to Ardnahein (8 days) and again I can't praise all staff enough. This time my room was ensuite which made things much easier for me. I should have said this was my 4th visit.

My aunt has been a resident at Ardnahein for over a year now. Initially, she found it difficult to settle but within a few months, she was more contented. Staff quickly got to know my aunt and understand the difficulties she was experiencing in settling, due to her memory issues and fluctuating...
Staff are always approachable when I phone to speak to my aunt and equally when I visit. My only wish is there was more opportunity for my aunt to go out more often. However, I know overall my aunt is happy and settled and therefore I am happy and confident that all her needs are being met.
Thank you for your review Sheila. We will look to provide your Aunt with more opportunity to visit the community.
