Bon Accord Care Home

I have been visiting a friend who has dementia, for the last two months , once a week. The place has been redecorated in a pleasing and cheerful way. It is very comfortable in all respects. My friend (who is an artist) has some of her pictures hung in her room. She always looks well groomed and clean has hair set regularly . The staff are very friendly and I watched them tending difficult patients with great patience and kindness. The food looks really good and varied. One lady told me that the entertainment is very good and that she is very happy there and has been for years. There is a nice garden to sit in weather permitting. I would recommend the place highly to any one seeking such a place.

My husband is in "one to one" care which relieves my mind knowing he is well looked after. He is kept occupied - when he wants it - and is taken for a walk occasionally to the local shops etc.

My father was suffering from advanced dementia and spent the last 8 months of his life at Bon Accord. The nursing staff and carers were so wonderful, gentle and kind to him it was quite moving to watch. Dementia is incredibly difficult to deal with for everyone involved, but the wonderful people at Bon Accord showed Dad nothing but love and kindness. I'll miss going there now we've lost Dad.

Bon Accord was the 17th care home that I visited before I was satisfied that I had found the appropriate care facility for my mother. I was given time and excellent responses to my questions and enjoyed meeting staff and residents alike as I spent time checking out the ambience and facilities. There have been some communication challenges which have been quickly addressed and overall I am happy that my mother is happy, well and enjoying her life there - despite her dementia. I recommend this care home highly.

I looked at six care/nursing homes before choosing Bon Accord care home. What first impressed me about Bon Accord was the relaxed, friendly and "homely" atmosphere of the home. This has stayed with me and the care my husband receives daily is the best. I also experience the respect towards both residents and their families, and an openness that encourages me to speak up if I have complaints or concerns, and these are always taken seriously. Initially I followed my "gut" reactions and feelings in choosing Bon Accord, I have not been let down.
