I am so happy that I chose Alt-Na-Craig for my mum's end of life care. The nursing home feels more like a small family hotel. It's cosy, warm & friendly. The staff were all very professional but also so very kind & caring to me as I sat at my mums bed for her last few days. The hugs, cups of tea & supportive
chat was absolutely wonderful. 10/10 for this nursing home.

My elderly mother was transferred from hospital to Alt-Na-Craig Nursing Home as a transition between hospital and a return to her home. The period of rehabilitation and respite was very successful and the care she received from all staff enabled her to return home as planned. The nursing home was clean
and bright and the staff were polite, friendly and attentive. I was also impressed with how well the managers communicated with me on her progress. The lead nurse was in regular contact with my mother's GP surgery and kept me updated on all medical issues.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My beloved dad was a resident in Alt-Na-Craig for just over 2 years. The love, care, dignity and respect he received here by the fantastic "Alt-Na Angels" was absolutely second to none. He loved Alt-Na and each and every single member of staff, as did I. They became a second family to us both and made
the last 2 years so special for Dad. We enjoyed our trips to a local town when we went, but most of all he loved watching movies with myself in his room each and every day. Nothing was ever too much to ask and the staff met his every need. He always looked forward to his meals as he loved his food. Unfortunately due to his stroke everything had to be puried, this didn't stop him enjoying the fantastic meals the chefs cooked every day though, especially the desserts he loved! Sadly my beloved dad passed 4 weeks ago peacefully in Alt-Na. I take my hat off to the manager and each and every one of the staff for making Alt-na-Craig one of the best, if not the best care home in the area.
Reply from Sharon Houston, Home Manager at Alt-Na-Craig House Care Home

Thank you so very much for taking the time to write such a kind and heartfelt review at this difficult time for you. Our deepest condolences. Your Dad is greatly missed by us all here at Alt-Na-Craig House Care Home, it was our great privilege to care for him. Your words mean a lot to us and we will make sure to pass them on to all the "Alt-Na Angels"!

Living overseas, the decision to put my mum in care as she has Alzheimer's, was not an easy one but my visits to Alt-Na-Craig to assist my mum in settling in, reassured me I had chosen the best care home for her. The staff are caring and compassionate and take the time to discuss any concerns they may
have about her welfare. I call from overseas on a weekly basis to chat with Mum and she’s so settled and happy and now even enjoys participating in the activities at the home. She’s gained weight since being there thanks to regular healthy meals and snacks. I feel confident that she’s being well cared for.

My mother has been a resident at Alt Na Craig care home for nearly a year now. Sadly I had to eventually sell my mother's home, where I had been living as well, in Scotland and I moved back to England. However, having seen how well the staff cared for my mother I decided to keep her there. Some members
of staff formed a very close bond with Mum, and she has always seemed very happy to be there. Since I moved away the care home has kept me well informed of Mum's situation and particularly with regard to any medical issues. Whilst she does spend a lot of time in her room she does go on some of the outings arranged by the home and enjoys visits by friends and family. Having visited several care homes in the west of Scotland and England I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted since my mum has resided at Alt-Na-Craig. Mum has a new lease of life and is having a great time, which fills us all with such joy. She is well looked after, and anything is caught very quickly and treated. She’s eating well and making friends, which is giving
her family time to step back and breathe. Can’t thank the staff enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granda and his family decided that due to his health deteriorating he was no longer well enough to go home and becoming a resident at Alt Na Craig House was the next best thing.
My granda was only at the home for a short time before he passed away but in the time he was there, he received excellent
care from all the staff and in the last few weeks of his life he was bright and settled with the decision he had made.
In the last few days, all the staff treated my granda with dignity and respected the wishes that he had discussed with his family. Being part of a big family, there was always someone with him in his last few days, the staff made the family feel welcome and offered refreshments not feeling they were in the way.
My auntie described it well as feeling like coming to visit my granda in his own home only bigger.
Thank you to all the staff at Alt Na Craig House you made a very sad time bearable.

My mother is treated with courtesy and good manners. Nursing attention is good and 24/7 staff presence is a huge relief to the extended family. I believe that the food choices could be more suitable for the elderly (spicy foods, chunky meat difficult). The basic room furniture has not been restored
since Mum's return from hospital 6-8 weeks ago. Broken tie-backs and broken blind still not fixed.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
