Erskine Hall Care Home is the best thing that happened to our family since our dad had a stroke. You provide a safe and friendly environment for my dad, everybody is welcoming and caring. he is happy as "Larry" terms feeling fine at home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It's lovely to hear how the care and safety our staff provide has changed your Dad's life for the better. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
My father came to Erskine Care Centre for the last few days of his life and it was perfect. I would like to particularly share my appreciation of a certain staff member on floor two, who from when I arrived at 11 pm provided a mattress and food, to her outstanding presence and kindness and her ability to manage a tricky situation.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we are so pleased that you had such a positive experience with Erskine Hall. We hope Erskine Hall Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
Dad was sent to Erskine Care Home from hospital on initially a temporary basis until we found him a long-term home. We have since decided for him to stay at Erskine as a long-term resident as the care received there is second to none. In particular, there are 3 members of staff that are absolutely lovely and a credit to the home. The manager and several other members of staff were all so welcoming and cheerful and gave me the comfort that Dad is being looked after. Their warm and welcoming personas made the choice very easy and I would highly recommend this home to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your dad in our care and we are happy to hear you feel like a part of our Erskine Hall family. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after.

The activities were wide-ranging from musical acts to quizzes and everyone regardless of ability was included creating a pleasant event.

My sister has recently stayed at Erskine Hall for respite following surgery. From pre-admission to discharge, she, and us as a very concerned family, were treated with the utmost respect and kindness. Communication with my sister and with us was timely and informative helping to reduce anxiety at a very worrying time. All of the staff appeared to focus on her as an individual, recognising and managing her complex needs. The staff all demonstrated a team approach and were calm and resident-focused. All the facilities were clean and well-maintained which meant a comfortable stay.
Thank you for your lovely review, It is always nice to hear words like “Respect” and “Kindness” being used to describe our care. Thank you for choosing Erskine Hall for your stay.
My dear mother spent the final few months of her life at Erskine Hall at the end of 2023. I recommend the home as excellent. The care provided was high quality, professional and above all showed a genuine interest in Mum’s personal situation. She enjoyed the food and entertainment that was provided, and she clearly felt very well looked after. Without exception the staff were excellent.
Thank you for your kind words. We are deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
With the help and care of the staff, she adjusted well to her new environment.
My mother has told me she feels safe and all her needs are met.
The staff keep us up to date with any changes to her health, and we are confident she is well cared for.
The environment at Erskine Hall is calming and restful. My mother’s room is always clean and smells lovely. Her food looks appetising and the staff caring for her are kind and attentive.
My father visits my mother daily and the staff are kind and caring towards him too, and always make him a cup of tea!
Thank you for your kind words. We hope Erskine Hall Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible and we are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. We are so pleased to hear that your mother feels safe and that she is being well looked after....
The home felt like just the right place for her on our initial visit and I had no hesitation in placing her here. On my regular visits, the staff were always very helpful and caring and did not seem overstretched. As my mum's condition deteriorated, they paid close attention to her medical needs and kept me informed. The food always appeared tasty and there were organised activities. They seem to have all the equipment needed to keep residents comfortable and mobile. I would recommend this care home.
Thank you Erskine Hall.

Extremely well-run home and very easy to deal with any problems. The staff are friendly and very caring. The standard of cleanliness is very high and there is always a pleasant smell. Because my mother-in-law is so well taken of it makes the family confident that she will be taken care of at all times and in an emergency. Very good activities.

The nurses and carers are amazing.
Activity lady, nothing is too much for her, she is never out of ideas, Dad adores her. Food is like 5-star hotel. All the equipment, social spaces, garden is in very high standard.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we are happy to hear you feel like a part of our Erskine Hall family.

Value for money is a difficult one as all care is expensive but we were happy to pay for the care my mum received here.

My mum moved into Erskine Hall in March 2023, after the sad passing of her beloved husband. From the first time we viewed the scheme, we felt welcome and at home. All the staff are friendly, enthusiastic and very caring. My mum has a lovely large room, which we have personalised for her, and she has settled very well. She has made friends and joins in with the activities, including the Hawaiian-themed party this week to celebrate the home's 'good' rating with the CQC, which they thoroughly deserve. The gardens are stunning and well kept and the outside terrace, on the first floor, is a favourite meeting place, especially in the recent sunny weather. My mum tells me that the meals are very nice and there is a good choice. She has her hair done in the salon and her nails done every week. Thank you Erskine Hall!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are pleased to hear Erskine Hall did everything to make the transition as easy as possible and that your mum has settled very well in our care. If there is anything we can do to continue making her stay as comfortable as possible, please do let us know.
The facilities at Erskine Hall Care Home are fab with comfy beds and a very pleasant atmosphere. Guests are made to feel welcome and the staff go above and beyond to be friendly and helpful whilst remaining professional at all times. The food is fantastic and the grounds are lovely. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the care that Dad is receiving.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your dad in our care. It is always nice to hear words like “go above and beyond to be friendly and helpful” being used to describe our care. We hope to continue providing your dad with the best possible care and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
I am very satisfied with the home and the service they provide. All the nurses and carers here are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The activities are very varied and no pressure is made for us to join in with them. Overall, I am pleased with Erskine Hall Care Home and everything that they do for us.

My dad spent the last month of his life in Erskine Hall. The care he received was exceptional. The staff were always kind and professional, most importantly to my dad but also to our family who were visiting. The food was excellent. I would like to thank all the staff for their genuine kindness and consideration during what was a very hard time.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that we were able to provide the care your dad needed. Hopefully knowing how well he was looked after is of comfort to you all now. Thank you again for choosing us to care for him during his last days.
The staff are brilliant and I am very well looked after. They have made me welcome and I feel very much at home here.

Special praise to a number of staff members, who have kept in touch with us through a difficult time and have always been sensitive and caring.
We have had contact with other care homes over the last few months - this has been our best experience by far.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are so pleased to hear the staff have done everything possible to provide the highest level of care for your Mother. Thank you for choosing Erskine Hall Care Home.
Erskin hall came at a difficult time in my life. I have been treated by all the staff with kindness and consideration and the room was very well kept in excellent order. I have had visits from my friends who have remarked how well I have done since I moved to Erskin Hall and continue to improve each time they visit.
Thank you for your lovely words. We are so glad that you feel so at ease at Erskine Hall. It is so nice to hear words like "kindness" and "consideration" to describe the level of care you are receiving. We hope to continue providing you with such excellent care.
My mother is a new resident of this wonderful care home. I would like to thank each and every member of staff for their duty to care, which is second to none, not only towards my mother but indeed to me too, for which I am so grateful. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear our staff are not only taking excellent care of your mum but are also taking care of you too. Thank you for choosing our Eglantine Villa care home.
