My mother lived in Willowbank for six years. I am so pleased that we chose Willowbank for her. Her room was very comfortable and well-maintained. Her food was excellent. Most of all, all the staff were always kind and attentive and understanding. We came to think of them as members of our family. Many sincere thanks.

My father was admitted into Willowbank Care Home, Carnoustie-Angus for a short stay due to an injury at home. I can not praise the staff any higher as they did an impeccable job looking after my father.

Both parents were residents until Mum passed away in Jan. She was treated with so much care and dignity until she passed away. Dad still resident and so well cared for and staff always welcoming to family members when visiting. Cannot fault Willowbank and staff in any way.
It's so wonderful to hear, how happy you've been with the care and dignity both of your parents have received at Willowbank. It means so much to us all to receive reviews like this. Thank you for taking the time to write such lovely words. We'll be sure to pass on to the team at the home.
Took Mother-in-law out of hospital and home with me unfortunately could not walk. Went into respite. They were fantastic got her to walk with a zimmer encouraging her all the time. Staff were great very friendly and caring. Cheery every time we were in which was almost every day. Food good. Entertainment girls were really fun she liked that but. If she ever needs to go permanently would not hesitate she so well looked after. All staff great.

When we arrive unannounced, staff have been attentive and answered any questions. Home and rooms are always clean. Staff are informative. Residents always look clean and well cared for.
Thank you so much from the staff at Willowbank for this lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you found the team to be attentive to all your needs and ready to answer all of your questions. We'll be sure to pass your comments on.
Fabulous care home. The staff went far and above to welcome not just my stepfather but myself and my children. Could not recommend enough. Nothing was too much of an effort whether kitchen staff, care staff or cleaning staff. The manager was welcoming as was the rest of the staff, who I will hold dearly in my heart. Special mention to one particular member of staff who is the sweetest of girls and to another for entertainment skills. Sorry not to see the staff now but will make a point of remaining in contact.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We know how much it means our residents mean to their families, and vice versa, and how important those relationships are. The team work so hard, and they will be so glad to hear your kind words. Thanks again!
The Carers made Mum and ourselves feel very welcome from the beginning. Every one of them acknowledged Mum and us by name. Even though they were wearing masks you could see they were smiling. Makes a difference! Mum's room was huge and airy. There was an ensuite shower room/toilet. Every time we visited, Mum was dressed well. The clothes were clean and laundered nicely. Mum loved the meals, especially the soups. When we visited there were always snacks in her room. Balhousie Willowbank Care Home staff ensured her hair and her podiatry requirements were catered for. The care given was excellent, I never felt concerned about the care Mum was receiving. We knew she was safe. The Activities Co-Ordinator is excellent and the residents were always entertained. Staff were always contactable.
Thank you!
Thank you! What a fabulous and full review of Willowbank. "Even though they were wearing masks you could see they were smiling. Makes a difference!" We couldn't agree more. Everything you mention is as it should be and our staff feel very privileged to share their residents' home. We will pass on your lovely words to the staff - it will mean the world. Thank you once again.
My mum has been looked after by the lovely folks at Willowbank Carnoustie for the last 3 years without fault. I could not ask for a better level of care from such a caring and professional team. Nothing is too much for them. I work abroad, so cannot visit as often as I want. I can always rely on the care and compassion of everyone there. Always sure she is in safe caring hands. Even with her conditions the team engage and look after her so well. Never a worry and I know she is safe and sound. Taken out to many activities and looked after so well.
What a superb review for our Willowbank team. It means so much to hear how much our care gives you peace of mind and how well your mother is surrounded by care and compassion - as you would expect. We'll be sure to pass this on to our hardworking staff. Thank you!
Balhousie Willowbank Care Home have been incredibly supportive since my aunt was admitted at the start of the year. They've done everything possible to make the transition smooth, not only for her but also for us, her family. The team of carers ensure she is content and cared for 24-hours a day which is a weight off our minds, knowing she'll be okay. The communication has been excellent and knowing I can call and ask anything has been fantastic. The activities and birthday parties are not only keeping my aunt entertained but are also keeping her mind active and I've noticed a massive difference in her cognitive emotion since she has arrived. A wonderful home staffed by a wonderful team.
Thank you so much for this full and very positive review. It's wonderful to hear, not only how your aunt's transition has been well managed, but also the positive changes you're seeing. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and let us know. We'll be sure to pass this on to our staff.
I appreciate the kind and caring attention of myself in the home and to residents by the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your lovely review. It's even more special to receive feedback directly from our residents.
My gran has settled well and is looked after with great kindness.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Balhousie Willowbank. We're really happy to hear your gran is settled and has the excellent care we would expect. We'll be sure to pass your comments on to the staff.
Willowbank has done nothing but treat my Nana with great care and a friendly approach. They always made sure she was happy and content to be there. She enjoyed all the entertainment provided and the food when I would come to visit she would always say how nice of a place it was. The manager was always making sure to stay in touch and make my Nana feel as comfortable as possible. Would recommend it to anyone!
What a wonderful review for our Willowbank team. It means so much to hear how much our care made a difference for your nana. We'll be sure to pass this on to our staff. Thank you!
My gran is a resident at Willowbank and the care has been excellent. She is very comfortable and settled. The staff do a great job looking after my gran. Management always willing to talk and help if I have a query.
Thank you for taking the time to review Balhousie Willowbank. Our team will be so glad to hear your kind words.
I have been very pleased with the quality of care that my mother has received from the staff in general. Mum has always felt that she is being shown kindness by all. The admin staff have always been very speedy in informing me of any problems that have arisen re Mum's health. Willowbank staff have been very helpful to all the family over visitation during the ongoing covid 19 pandemic period. Having kept a weather eye on the news it has become very clear that Balhousie Care Home, in general, have been extremely careful in their handling of the various homes; this has given us all a large measure of assurance. In short, I believe the entire staff at Willowbank have done extremely well by their residents over this very difficult period.
Thank you so much for your kind words and what a lovely boost to our Willowbank team after such a challenging year.
I know it is a very difficult time in care homes at the moment, and the staff have so many other duties and concerns to attend to, that I just expected a routine word or two saying that my aunt was doing well and there was nothing to worry about.
Well in fact I was delighted that the carer actually got my aunt on the telephone, and I was able to have a conversation with her, which was truly a delight and raised everybody's spirits!
It was so good of the carer to go this extra mile. Well done Willowbank.
Dear Linda, thanks so much for your kind words. We will be sure to pass this on to our hardworking staff.
The staff are all really friendly, helpful and efficient. There is a really nice atmosphere in the home and it is always nice and clean. A relaxing place to be.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It's great to know and we will pass this back to the staff.
