Kintyre Care Home Reviews (31)
Over all time Kintyre Care Home has 31 reviews.
My husband has only been in the home for a few weeks, but in that time, I find the home to be very good and well run. The staff are marvellous and I can find no faults thus far.
He felt the quality of the food had deteriorated and that some of the staff lacked compassion at times.
However, overall everything was, on the whole satisfactory.
We at Kintyre strive to give the kindest care possible and take on board your comments.
The home manager and head cook meet regularly, your comments regarding food will be discussed at their next meeting.
It is very good and I feel safe.
Well satisfied with all aspects.
I am happy at Kintyre Care Home. The staff are alright. I enjoy going out with staff. My room is good as I have some of my own stuff.
The home is very suitable for us old people and not so old, they cater to our needs very well and I'm very happy here.
I find the staff caring and respectful. The whole place is very clean.
I have been living in the care home for a few months and I am very happy to live here. The staff are very kind and helpful.
I have stayed at the care home for 2 months and I feel very safe and at home. The staff always treat me very well.
I enjoy it in Kintyre Care Home, we are all very well looked after and I get out and about with with friends or arranged outings. I enjoy my meals most of the time.
My mum's review went smoothly because of the up to date information the family had. Any issues are dealt with at the time by the staff so there were no surprises. I am delighted with the care my mum receives and the support we get from the staff.
