A very difficult time for mum, leaving previous care home/friends after 3 1/2 years and losing her sight. The carers have gone beyond care to help and assist her. Care cannot be faulted.

My mum had been cared for by the wonderful Dalnaglar staff for over three years before she passed away in February this year. Her care over her time there was excellent, tailored to her needs and condition. The staff showed compassion for mum at the end of her life and were very caring and supportive of me and my husband during a very difficult time. I have only praise and gratitude for everyone who helped make my mum feel so comfortable and loved.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review of Dalnaglar. We're touched to know how much you've appreciated the care team over the years, especially at the time your family needed compassion the most. We'll share your kind words with the team. Thank you once again.
My mum has settled in really well, it's so nice to see her smiling and joining in, mum does love music and she loves to sing, I'm very happy with the care that she's receiving. The home is lovely, there's always a happy atmosphere, and the staff are always welcoming too.

Dalnaglar are now like an extended family to us. All the staff in the home couldn't have been more caring to my father whilst he stayed there. His palliative care was amazing, and I don't think our family would have been able to get through such a difficult time without all of their support. The Activities Coordinator brings life and soul into the home, all activities are well thought out and each of the residents interests are considered. Fantastic staff, they are absolute angels! Thank you, all of you.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. It's reassuring to hear the positive impact Dalnaglar has had on your family in all aspects of your father's care and the support you've felt throughout this time. We'll make sure the team are aware of your kind words, they will be touched to read them.

I am always made welcome when I visit my sister and the staff offer tea, coffee and biscuits. They are very kind and supportive of residents and are always willing to keep you updated about stuff going on. They inform you of any changes in my sister's condition and are very supportive in trying what is best for her. She is settled, and comfortable and they're aware of her needs and attend to her very attentively.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It's great to hear how welcome you feel and how supported your sister is within the home. The team will be delighted to learn this.

As you can imagine after 61 years it was a difficult decision to put my husband into care but now that he is settled in Dalnaglar I know it was the right decision. The staff are friendly caring and patient and they deliver to a very high standard with efficiency and humour. The home itself is bright and sunny which I personally feel is effective in supporting a positive frame of mind and my husband's room is spacious and airy with a view of the lovely Crieff Hills.
I am also reliably informed by him that the meals at Dalnaglar are 'tiptop'. If I have any issues or questions the home is helpful and the forward-looking manager is extremely approachable. I admire her inborn ability to successfully manage such a large and diverse team of workers. The excellent nursing staff are always on hand to give advice thanks to the enthusiastic entertainment officer. There is plenty of fun on offer both outdoors and indoors. As it happens I don't have to travel far to see my husband so it goes without saying I feel incredibly lucky and relieved that he is a resident there.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a considerate review. It's great to hear that both you and your husband are having such a well-rounded experience at Dalnaglar and see the dedication that the team puts in every day. They will be absolutely delighted to read this.

There are plenty of activities available if they want to join in.

My mother-in-law is always happy when I manage to come in and visit her. My only issue is sometimes the smell of cigarettes in the lift. Mostly the staff are all friendly and have a smile and welcome you when you arrive.

It's lovely to hear how happy your mother-in-law is when you come to visit and how friendly you find the staff. We have passed on your feedback about the lifts to the home manager and really appreciate you taking the time to submit a review.
Very good level of care. Staff are attentive, professional and thoughtful about patients' individual needs. Activities are regularly available. Support for various needs is provided. Meals are decent. Well managed. Rooms are quite comfortable although a little clinical.

My dad was admitted around eighteen months ago and at first, I was very concerned about him going to a care home but my worries were soon squashed. I and the rest of his family have nothing but respect for the care staff at Balhousie Dalnaglar Care Home and also the activities coordinator down to the domestic staff and also the chefs etc. Got to know most staff but not all of them but the home does an amazing job looking after my dad. It’s never easy leaving after visiting but we do so knowing he is in safe hands. Thank you.

The staff have picked up on health issues very quickly and acted appropriately involving medical professionals when needed. They encourage him to look after himself as he sometimes does not seem keen. I feel welcomed and involved in his care when I visit and also via contact by mobile or text.
It is such a relief to know that he is being well cared for. Thank you so much.

Mum is so well cared for. The Activities Coordinator is great, always thinking of new things to do. This is Mum's home/family now and I love that we are always included in everything. It's lovely to be welcomed by name when you arrive for a visit and offered tea or coffee; makes you feel included.

The staff have been extremely supportive in helping me adjust to my husband's Alzheimers and very supportive of him. He is very well cared for. My worry is the time he is alone because of his refusal to go into the common area. The staff make a point of speaking to him when passing his room.
