  • Tigh-Na-Muirn Care Home, Dundee
Tigh Na Muirn Care Home, nestled within the serene seaside town of Monifieth, seamlessly marries the elegance of tradition with the conveniences of modern living. As you step through its doors, you’ll find a warm embrace of time-honoured charm. Yet, this isn’t a mere relic of the past; it’s a place where superior standards prevail supported by the latest technology.

The guest rooms, thoughtfully designed, offer a choice: all are en-suite for those who seek a private retreat, or perhaps a double room for companionship. Each room whispers tales of comfort — the softness of bed linens, the gentle glow of bedside lamps, and the promise of restful nights.

The dining experience, from the home cooked meals to silver service, is sure to remind you of hotel comfort. And for those that enjoy the outdoors, the lovingly tended communal outdoor spaces offer a choice of seating areas and the option to tend to home grown plants and vegetables, while the garden wing also offers individual patio garden spaces.

But it’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about care. Tigh Na Muirn is family-owned and operated, and their experienced team brings a wealth of skills and genuine compassion. An emergency call system ensures safety, while three separate lounge areas provide spaces for relaxation and socialisation. And yes, there are lifts — because accessibility matters.

So, whether you’re enjoying a glass of wine in the bar or strolling through the well-tended gardens, Tigh Na Muirn whispers a promise: tradition and modernity intertwine, creating a haven for those seeking comfort, companionship, and a place to call home.

Review from J B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 9 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law had fabulous care in Tigh-Na-Muirn for the last two years of her previously long and active life. We chose Tigh-Na-Muin as having been two GPs in the area for decades both my husband and I had always been impressed by the high quality of care and compassion shown towards patients being
looked after there.
We were not disappointed. My mother-in-law had care tailored to her needs and as she became increasingly frail her care was adapted accordingly. Staff always went above and beyond, were kind and caring at all times, the manager was appropriately in touch and we always felt well informed and included in any decisions taken.
It is a nice clean friendly environment with good personal space as well as attractive interactive public spaces, making visiting pleasant.
I was recommended the home by friends, and will equally pass on our satisfaction to friends and anyone who may ask.

My mother took a while to settle in over January and February. The staff showed infinite understanding and compassion, not only with Mum but also with my sister and me.
Mum has settled now and the staff continue to be exceptional. They always have a smile and a greeting. They send us reassuring emails,
often with a cheery picture attached.

Review from Malcolm M (Son of Resident) published on 9 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent a number of months as a resident and my only regret is that we never considered earlier. The staff were very attentive, there were always activities on the go both internal and external of the home and cleanliness was second to none. I am using direct knowledge of other establishments
that my mother used but where the standards did not come anywhere close to that provided by Tigh-Na-Muirn.
Unfortunately, my mother's dementia was quite advanced by the time she secured a room and she was not able to fully enjoy the full extent of what was on offer, but the family were able to rest easy knowing she was receiving excellent care around the clock.

A fantastic home. Great staff, nothing is too much bother, peace of mind when I went home that Mum was being looked after. The home is beautiful, decor and cleanliness are 5-star, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home as a safe place for a loved one.

Review from K K (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father and his family were so pleased with the care and kindness shown at TNM. The food was also excellent and my father met the chef every week who kindly discussed and took his order for the week. The food was cooked on-site and was plentiful. There were varied activities, particularly in the summer
months. My father enjoyed the live music which was weekly also.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff go above and beyond their supportive and caring role for my dad. They communicate regularly with me and my siblings and always put his health needs first. I’ve worked in care homes over the years and would highly recommend TNM as a place of comfort and safety with lots of activities for residents.
They also demonstrate excellent dementia knowledge and support and listen to your views and suggestions.

Review from Mary F (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care provided by all staff was exemplary. Our mum's every need was attended to: health, care, social. As a family, any views we had were listened to and promptly acted upon. The accommodation was very comfortable and uplifting. The meals and snacks were top-class. Staff went out of their way to
make birthdays and other special occasions lovely. When our mum was dying the care was second to none.

A very caring and considerate team at TNM, providing high standards of care and treating residents with dignity and respect. Seeing a loved one in care can be very difficult, but the team genuinely seem to care about the well-being of residents and do their level best to keep a positive atmosphere around
the home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Tigh-Na-Muirn Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.841 for Tigh-Na-Muirn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.841
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tigh-Na-Muirn Care Home is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
