My mother has been in Monkbarns for over a year now. From the initial search for a home to the ongoing care my mum has received it has been nothing less than truly excellent. The care home is brilliant. The staff are brilliant and the activities keep my mum entertained. Big shout out to Debbie and the staff in Seaview especially. They have been a great help to my mum and to myself. Taking amazing care of her and setting my mind at ease when dealing with dementia.

I feel such relief being able to leave my mum in such capable hands. We truly appreciate how hard the carers work and what a tough job they have, not only physically but mentally. They excel on a day to day basis and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my mum. Its not easy!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It means a great deal to the whole team to know that you find Monkbarns a place you feel confident your mum is safe and well cared for. Your kind words are a wonderful acknowledgment of their dedication. Thanks again.
I was absolutely delighted with the loving care my brother received at Monkbarns Care Home. The nurses and all the other staff were amazing, kind, and caring, which was very comforting for me to leave him in the home. I will be forever grateful to Monkbarns.

I am very happy with the care and support my mother receives in Monkbarns Care Home. The staff work so hard to look after her they always find time to have friendly chats as well. It would be wonderful if the home can provide transport so residents can be taken on day trips as well as the indoor activities. The staff are always helpful keeping me informed of my mothers needs and are so friendly. My mother keeps telling me how happy she is and loves the staff.
Thank you for sending in this fantastic review. It's lovely that you see the dedication the hardworking team puts into the care of every resident and that your mother is so happy with them and with her home. Although Monkbarns doesn't own a wheelchair friendly minibus for everyday use, the care...
Mum was well looked after and treated like part of a very large family, which I got a lot of reassurance from. The care, love and attention from most staff was a great comfort to myself as I had cared for my mum for 14 years and it was a tough decision for me, but I could not have gotten a better place anywhere than Monkbarns. Thanks to them all.
Thank you for taking the time to send in your review for Monkbarns. It's reassuring to hear that you and your mother's experience of the home and the dedicated team was so positive all round. They will be so happy to see this feedback.
I am very happy with the care and support my husband receives in Monkbarns Care Home. The staff work so hard to look after him they always find time to have friendly chats as well. The cleaning and laundry staff are great they also find the time to chat as well as do amazing work. It would be wonderful if the home can provide transport so that wheelchair residents can be taken on day trips as well as the indoor activities, all staff have been very helpful keeping me informed of my husbands needs and are so friendly.
Thanks for taking the time to write this great review of Monkbarns. The team will be so pleased to hear how highly you regard the hard work they put in. Yes, the home doesn't own or have easy access to a wheelchair friendly minibus for everyday use, but the care team do take residents out and about for day trips in the town whenever weather conditions allow. Thank you again.
I am very happy with care and attention my mother receives. She is cared for by kind staff who look after her every need with an excellent mix of care and efficiency. She is kept stimulated and entertained by the staff.
Thank you for sending in this excellent appraisal of Monkbarns. It's reassuring to hear how happy you are with the care your mother receives. We'll be sure to share your comments with the hardworking team.
Overall my mother's and my experience is satisfactory. Communication can be a problem with important messages or information not being passed on. Either from the home to myself or from " the outside" to my mother. Also communication between staff can be lax as there has been quite a change over the staff. Usually I find when I feel I'm getting somewhere with a staff member I can rely on/trust- they leave or are transferred to another unit.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review of Monkbarns. We understand the home's new management have been quick to address the issues you've noted and are working hard to ensure that future communications are at the consistent standard all relatives should rightly expect. We very much appreciate your feedback and will pass your comments on to the team.
Thank you everyone in Monkbarns, you know who you are.
Thank you for taking the time to send in a review for Monkbarns. Words like these certainly help fuel our staff in all their efforts. They will be touched to hear your compliments and warm wishes.
This is an amazing place. My dad stays here. We are so positive about this home, because that is what it is, a home. My dad is not the most sociable person, but he loves to read. When there is an event on, he is always invited, but if he doesn't feel like it, he happily sits and reads or sleeps. Before he moved in he had this miseries that everyone would just be sat in a room half asleep. He was so, so wrong in this belief, there are so many activities arranged for residents, they can be kept busy socialising, or in his case not often, but supported to do what he wants to do. He loves the home, great weight off of my shoulders. The food completely to his taste and we can't praise enough the staff. They are friendly, helpful and always have time to chat if that's what he needs. I would highly recommend this home, I have great confidence my dad couldn't be anywhere better. Thanks.
Thank you for such a glowing and thorough review. It's so lovely to hear how highly both you and your dad think of Monkbarns. The team strives to do the best by every resident and it's reassuring to know that you both feel they deliver. They will be delighted with your comments.
the staff are very friendly and helpful. They gave Mum care, privacy and dignity while in their care. Mum was very happy there and that means the world to myself and my family. We can relax knowing that she was safe and well cared for, there was someone there 24/7 to meet her needs. Mum's room was good. Mum enjoyed all the activities provided, especially when they had the music afternoons. The manager's door is always open, especially if you have a query about anything.
Thank you very much for taking the time to add a review. Its so lovely to hear how happy your mum was at Monkbarns and how much it meant to you and your family knowing she was so well cared for. Well be sure to pass on your comments to the hardworking team.
Any concerns have been dealt with promptly and professionally.
A wonderful review, thank you for taking the time to write it for us. We're so pleased to read how happy you are with the home all around. We'll be sure to pass these kind words on to our hardworking staff and send our best wishes, and thanks once again.
I can honestly say my dad was very happy in Balhousie Monkbarns Care Home, the staff there are great and very welcoming. The staff put on activities which were voluntary, the zoo, the circus, a football match to name but a few. His room had its own bathroom with shower. Meals provided daily. Pool table downstairs, which my dad loved, he would play card games and dominoes etc. with his friends. A kitty is kept for all residents and topped up by relatives for haircuts etc. Highly recommend Monkbarns.
Thank you for your lovely review. It's wonderful to hear how happy your dad was at Monkbarns and how much he enjoyed the various games and activities, particularly the pool table! We'll be sure to pass on your kind comments to the hardworking team.
The place is very clean and well-maintained.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit so much. We’ll make sure your kind comments are seen by all the hard-working staff at Monkbarns – they’ll be delighted!
My dad has now been in Balhousie Monkbarns Care Home for nearly 4 months. Has taken him a long time to settle but with the amazing care and patience of the staff he's starting to enjoy living there. Dad is looking forward to being able to go and help in the garden. I have struggled with Dad being in a care home but all staff are amazing not only to Dad but to myself. I have had bad days leaving Dad but the staff are all so supportive. The manager's door is always open for me and she is so supportive when dad sees her they always have a laugh which is great to see and which Dad needs.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We know the decision to move into a care home is never an easy one for our residents or their families, but our team work so hard to provide all the support you need. We are very glad to hear you are happy with your dad's care at Balhousie Monkbarns. We'll pass on your kind words to the staff, who will be so glad to read them. Thanks again!
I was very impressed with the way that the staff managed the home during the worst part of the Covid restrictions by keeping the residents safe and well and in contact with me and the rest of my family. They have even done separate meals for my mum as she is very stuck in her ways with what she eats.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review for us. We are so pleased to hear how happy you are with your mum's care and we will be sure to pass it on to our hardworking Monkbarns staff. Thank you once again.
My mum passed away at Christmas 2021 after a short illness. It was all a bit of a shock for our family as it happened very quickly. The staff in Monkbarns "Fraser unit" were fantastic. They offered support and kindness to us and Mum throughout the whole experience. One lady needs a special mention; she went above and beyond to help us through it. She was on duty the day Mum died - thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. We're very sorry to hear of the passing of your mum but glad the support from our staff at Balhousie Monkbarns was so supportive, as it should be. We send all good wishes and thank you once again.
My friend is always very happy. Staff and manager are helpful and friendly. Overall, just a wonderful place.
What a lovely review - thank you for taking the time to write it for us. Happy, helpful and friendly are exactly as they should be. Thanks again - we will pass it on to our hardworking staff.
