Over all time Lochleven Care Home has 64 reviews.
We find the home very friendly and welcoming. The staff are very caring and helpful at all times. We feel it meets the needs of our aunt perfectly. She has been in Lochleven now for 2 years and she has settled in well.
Every time I visit the care home the staff are warm and welcoming. The care home is clean and my relative's room is always clean and homely. My relatives look well looked after.
My mother has speech and cognitive difficulties but the staff on Katrine and throughout Lochleven Care Home are extremely sensitive to her needs and take the time and effort to communicate with her very effectively. Their care and compassion towards my mother and their communication with us have been exemplary. There are many different activities on offer - and again the staff offering these are outstanding.
From the first time I walked through the door, I was impressed with the ethos in the home. The leadership and all the staff showed real care and commitment to the work and care of the residents. If there was any cause for concern, I was phoned and ensured that medical staff were called to check the resident. I have nothing but praise to describe the quality of care.

Meet the Team (3)
I have always worked in care homes, have nearly 20 years of experience in the industry and have loved every minute of it.
When I first started in a direct care role, it was the residents, their life stories, their love and their successes that really kindled a flame within my soul that has yet to be extinguished.
When I moved into more of a leadership role, I was lucky to be working with an amazing team that shared their knowledge and experience, freely working together to ensure that our residents are living the best life possible.
In my personal time, I love to read, my favourite book is probably Gone with the Wind.I like to do DIY and pretend I’m good at it, I enjoy playing the cello – my neighbours probably don’t, I’m very much an animal lover, the more animals I can get in my life the better. The karaoke machine calls my name when I go out with friends and family, I’m pretty much a stay-at-home person, my books, my cats and my cello, although my newest life goal is to go to Switzerland to visit the famous Lindt chocolate museum and make chocolate with the master chocolatier
My name is Karen, I’m the Administrator and started working in Lochleven in July 2021. Life has led me through a varying path including working as a multi-franchise Vehicle Administrator, Finance Administration and on to my current role as a Care Home administrator. Lochleven is lively and friendly with the residents being the heart of the home. I thoroughly enjoy the fast pace and interesting individuals I meet on a daily basis.
I believe in making the most of every day, whatever that means to the individual. The right to live a full and happy life no matter what your ability.
I am happy that I am part of the team at Lochleven Care Home.
