There had been a massive improvement in my dad's overall care since the change of manger at the home . He's now clean & tidy and the staff a great with him . The only slight concern I have is with his swollen ankles , this has nothing to with the staff as it's the Dr who's insisting on giving him water tablets continuously which have done nothing over months and months . I suspect he has heart issues as he's got stents and the swollen ankles are a result of an inability for his heart to circulate the blood properly and I'd like the doctor to listen to this as we are getting nowhere . That aside I'm very happy with the staff and my dad's level of care .
Thank you for your kind words Gary. Our team at Craigend are delighted to hear your happy with the care that is being provided, as always, the staff will continue to advocate and work alongside with all the multidisciplinary teams to provide the best care for your dad.
My experience of Craigend Gardens has always been positive. My Dad has been a resident here for over 2 years now. Although we have had very few issues, anything that is brought up is dealt with promptly and professionally.

MY review last year said pretty much everything - my uncle's vascular dementia is progressing and he remains happy and content, which is the best possible review that I can give. His transformation from the condition he was in at the hospital is remarkable - all of which is down to the team at Craigend. As someone else said, it is not fancy, but it is a proper home. Ashley, the manager, is a gem - as are virtually all of the staff who I have encountered.
Thank you for your kind words, the team at Craigend appreciate it very much. Kind regards, Ashlay.

My brother has been suffering from delirium. Since being moved to Craigend Gardens he is starting to take an interest in things and is more contented, and less agitated. He is very well looked after by excellent staff.

He settled in really well. We did have a couple of hiccups along the way but they were resolved in a professional manner. I can now sleep at night and go on holiday with the knowledge that he is being well cared for.
