The home offers tailored support for a diverse range of complex health needs, including Stroke, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and Huntington’s disease, as well as a diverse set of memory care requirements.

I would just like to thank the staff for the care they do for a family member. I've been unable to visit for personal reasons, however on my visit this time the revamp is so inviting and the staff are so helpful and friendly. I watched a member of staff, her calmness and dedication to her patient was a delight to see. The patience she had was above and beyond. I'm so happy with the care and dedication your staff deliver. The entertainment, arts and crafts etc, I could go on. A very inviting care home.

My father has been looked after well in Pitkerro Care Centre for around 3 years. The staff have excellent relationships with their residents, building trust and providing personalised care in a relaxed and friendly environment. Visitors are welcomed at all times and families are kept updated and feel assured their loved ones are being well cared for. The staff do a great job and are all (Carers, nurses, manager, kitchen staff, cleaners, handyman etc.) approachable, welcoming and show great kindness and respect for the residents.
Thank you for all the care, kindness and support you have provided to us and our father it is much appreciated by our family.

Can’t thank the staff enough for their dedication and commitment.

My Mum has been with Pitkerro Care home since the end of last year. I have to say all the staff have been supportive, understanding and very friendly to me and Mum. With her increasing dementia at 94 years of age, it requires skill and understanding to look after this condition. It’s hard enough putting your mum into any form of care, but Pitkerro has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I looked after mum for 10 years after losing my Dad, and it was social care who suggested the time had come for her safety to take the next step. I will be forever grateful for their care and attention under very difficult circumstances.

Picking a care home for a family member is never easy even more so when you are 500 miles away and can’t be there at a drop of a hat. The moment I stepped into Pitkerro Care Centre the staff were extremely friendly and easy to talk to about concerns and the relocation from a previous care home. The team at Pitkerro made the move easy and the transition for our family member to settle. In recent weeks we have seen the country move to lock down and the team at Pitkerro have been fabulous and we can’t fault them. We received regular updates via email and phone, some specific to our family member while other updates are more general to everyday living. We can’t fault the team at Pitkerro, their dedication to the residents is outstanding and are always putting their care first.

The staff at Pitkerro have gone out of their way to help my uncle's granddaughter (she lived with him), to be able to celebrate firstly Christmas and then her 18th birthday in January. They set up a Christmas dinner table, decorated the room and supplied a Christmas dinner for them and his daughter. For her 18th birthday again they assigned a room, decorated it and allowed family and some friends to celebrate the birthday there so that her grandfather could be part of it. My uncle needs 24-hour care and I, as a nurse for 43 years cannot fault the care he has been given since September last year. He is not always the easiest person to care for and I admire their patience.
Thanks guys and gals.
