The staff are all friendly and they go above and beyond. They are always cheery when I visit. The place is spotless and they take food care of my mother-in-law. I have peace of mind that she's cared for.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so glad to hear you have peace of mind.
My mum is very well looked after and appears to be happy with the care she receives.
Thank you for your kind words. We agree that it takes a special person to work in care. Really happy to hear that your mum is happy and that you are too.
My mum was looked after extremely well at all times. I was always kept informed of her health if there were any changes. The staff were extremely professional both with my mum and any visitors she had. The staff always had a smile on their faces and nothing was too much trouble. Made my mum's last few weeks very happy for her and for the family.
Thank you for your kind words. Our hard-working staff will very much appreciate this.
Mother has been a resident since February 2020. Staff are all excellent. Cannot praise them enough. Kept informed all the time. I visit every week, and the staff are always welcoming.
Thank you for your kind words, that's so lovely to hear. We'll be sure to pass this on to our hardworking team at Monkbarns.
Thank you all for the care and kindness you show to residents and family.
Dear Morag, thank you so much for your kind words. Our staff work very hard to give residents and relatives all the support they need, physically and emotionally. It will be heartwarming for them to read this. Many thanks again.
I am very pleased with the care and support provided for my mum. The staff go the extra length there, care and activities. They have a lot of fun with her.
Thanks so much for your lovely review. It's great to hear that your mum is having fun as well as being well cared for.
During my mother's 6 years in Monkbarns, I found the staff on the ground very helpful. They kept me notified of anything that concerned my mum as I did not live locally. They were very approachable and always happy in their work (although at times appeared very short of staff). Activities were available on a regular basis which a lot of residents enjoyed.
Thank you for your feedback Sheona, this is very helpful in helping us identify areas of improvement. We will be sure to pass your comments onto management at Monkbarns and our operations team.
I am always kept up to date and informed of dad's health. The staff have taken the time to get to know my dad as a whole and not just as someone with dementia, which shows that this home is very much person-centred with the staff having residents care a priority. I would recommend Monkbarns to others with relatives in need of residential care.
An excellent care home where my wife resided until her passing away. Wonderful staff, good service, very helpful, a perfect choice. Would recommend it to anyone considering, well worth a visit. I still return on a regular visit with my assistant dog Oscar who has been trained to help people with dementia and I am always welcome by the excellent home manager, who is a caring devoted person to her job and has a well-run care home.
I just wanted to say what a fantastic job the manager and all her staff did for my mother in law when she was a resident. This lady is the interim manager at the moment. We as a family feel it would be extremely silly if Balhousie didn't employ her as their full-time manager. This lady has a wonderful way with residents, families and also the staff that work alongside her.
My mum has been a resident of Monkbarns Care Home since late July 2015 until early January 2017 when she passed away. In mine and my family's opinion, the care she received was excellent and a big thank you to the management and all the staff for making mum's last 1 and half years as comfortable and pleasant as possible. The home is in a good setting with lovely views across the sea. They held many parties with film and music which was always well attended. A big thanks to the staff who go mum back on her feet again and walking when the hospital said she would always need to be in a wheelchair.
My mother was a resident of Monkbarns for almost two years the staff treated mum like one of their own family till she sadly passed away. The care mum received was second to none by every member of staff from the manager down to the domestics until her last and final day.
As an elder of church in Carnoustie I have visited most of the homes around. I also have an aunt in one in B Ferry. I am impressed by this one-there is usually something to do - residents are awake, chatty etc- not asleep in front of the TV as in others!
