We are very happy with the care my dad is receiving here. The staff know him well and it is lovely to see how they interact with him. We enjoy looking at the photos in his folder showing activities he has taken part in and these can be a good starting point for a discussion.

Staff have been very assiduous in caring for my mother, spending a lot of time trying, (and succeeding), to get her to eat properly communication & feedback to the family from staff has been excellent.

The care review was helpful and informative. The senior member of staff who held the review was able to fully and satisfactorily respond to any questions raised and topics of discussion. It's clear that all staff understand Mum's needs and are managing her care very well.

I know there will be many homes in Scotland. They all have to meet a certain standard. However, none will be better than The Birches.

Based on my experience, The Birches Care Home is one of the highly commendable homes for sick and needy patients. The staff, carers, nurses and everyone who works in this home are excellent, polite, accommodating, selfless and very friendly. They show so much dedication to their jobs and most of all very compassionate. The empathy they shared with the residents is magnificently incomparable. This is what I call 'home sweet home'.
