My friend spoke very highly of the staff and the care he received.
There was a very good feel about the place and I was aware of activities going on for the residents.
On leaving, I was encouraged next time I visited, to stay for lunch.
They also have many activities and entertainment for the residents.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. Please feel free to book in for lunch and try our menu. We look forward to seeing you soon. Kindest regards.

Celebrating my father-in-law's birthday, combined with the Burns celebration, at Mais House Care Home was excellent. Staff worked very hard and the food was of a very high standard. What kept the whole time going with a swing was the excellent male singing (top marks). I have nothing but praise for the manager and her whole team who looked after us well.

Burns lunch and Father-in-law's birthday - the whole afternoon was a delight. Bagpipes, piping in the haggis, whole beautiful meal and Burns poems beautifully read. Live music from a very talented singer, birthday song and cake for my father-in-law and the Mayor's speech. Wonderful all-round and congratulations to the staff in all sections of Mais House.

I have attended several special events - the last being Burns lunch and entertainment. Always excellently organised and inclusive. Lovely meal and a singer who always engaged the interest of the residents and guests. I visit day regularly. He's always clean, well-dressed and happy. He has dementia following several strokes, resulting in him moving to Mais House where he's had a new lease of life. There are weekly events that stimulate his senses. I love visiting him there.
See you soon

This care home is absolutely fantastic, today I turned up unexpectedly, and I was offered to eat lunch with my grandma, the food was very tasty! The home has such good vibes and always very friendly staff, who make a fuss of my children and welcome us happily.

A lovely clean, bright place with friendly staff. The rooms and garden look very well kept.

Thank you for the positive response. Hopefully, you will be able to join us later in the year when we will be able to make full use of the gardens at one of many planned events.

They kept our glasses nice and full and couldn't have been more helpful. We could see other residents on their own being looked after by the staff which was good to see.
All in all, a very pleasurable experience - thank you.
Many thanks

The care home itself is extremely clean and well looked after, it feels like a real family home. I know when I get old this is the place I'd want to be put. I really couldn't put in enough words as I could go on for a long time.
Thank you for writing such a lovely review and please your visit to see your grandfather at Mais was a positive experience for you. We will pass your feedback to our team.
Very happy stay.

The visit was excellent, it was the first time I have visited my grandpa where the link has been open to visitors too. Although we still end to his room for the duration of the visit it was lovely to see the other residents and see my grandpa with his friends. Staff were lovely and welcoming as per usual and there was a good variety of events on for the week.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to see your grandpa. It is lovely that we are able to safely open the communal areas to visitors after the challenges of the past couple of years and for friends and family to experience the true atmosphere of Mais House.
Mais House continues to provide outstanding care and provisions for my father. The home is immaculately clean, the staff are amazing, the food is fantastic. I can find no fault with this care home. I just wish my mother had been so fortunate to have experienced such a fantastic environment.

"I am a registered Mental Health Nurse with a teaching qualification. I have now taken the post of the PDF at Mais House and am getting to know both staff and residents.
I have been teaching people for over 15 years, in a variety of subjects for, and love facilitating people to learn and explore the different ways in which they can develop their skills.
I can honestly say that in all my years of working, I have never been made so welcome as I have been here at Mais House. The staff are amazing, and I really appreciate the welcome they have offered to me since I joined. The passion for the care given to residents shines out from every single member of staff. The quality of care is something I am constantly amazed and delighted at."
