The staff are very caring towards the residents and give emotional support. The staff take pride in their work and give 100% in their jobs. My mam has settled in really well and this is down to the staff and the care they give. The manager and nurse and staff are very approachable and any questions or concerns they give the time to speak to family members.

Given the amount my brother pays it could be better overall.
Overall the home is a pleasant and happy place.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home . We look forward to welcoming you back soon .
Dad has been a resident since December 2024 and I will willingly admit that he can be quite difficult (impatient, very hard of hearing) on top of his main care needs. That said I have found all the staff I have come across to be friendly and professional. Have found that those I have chatted to about dad to be genuinely interested in him as a person. He is well cared for and i have no concerns about the level of care he receives. It is a huge comfort to know that he is being looked after so well and as a family we really appreciate it.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home and recognise the great work by the Elizabeth Fleming Team. We are delighted at how your Dad has settled into the home environment and how it provides peace of mind to you. I will, of course, pass on your kind words to the Elizabeth Fleming family
Mum says she's not keen on the meals, but this is the only negative thing she says. Mum likes the staff. There are regular activities for the residents and open days for relatives and friends. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. Overall I feel the home is a good standard.

The staff are polite and very welcoming. The residents are well cared for and their needs are attended to the staff arranges different activities for the residents who appear to enjoy them. I have no problem leaving my husband in their care because I am informed straight away if he needs medical attention or if any small mishap has occurred.

Staff are very kind, dedicated and hardworking. They always have time for my mam. The food is excellent and the rooms are nice. My mam is always nicely dressed and clean, her hair is smart and tidy. The staff made a beautiful cake for her birthday and provided some party food, more activities would be appreciated however. Mam has settled well and the other residents are lovely. Overall, very pleased with Elizabeth Fleming Care Home. Staff are very caring and polite towards the relatives too, very supportive.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our pleasure to care for your mum. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Elizabeth Fleming family.
Very happy with the way my mother is looked after. Staff are great, very helpful in everything asked of them. There is always someone cleaning or washing floors. The rooms are good and well-fitted.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our pleasure to care for your mum. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will, of course, pass them on to the Elizabeth Fleming family.
I'm over the moon with my dad's care. He has settled in well. Staff are amazing with him. I know he is well cared for and that makes me so happy as my dad is my world. I want to say a big thank you to all the staff; carers, domestic, laundry and kitchen, as all of these contribute to my dad's well being. Big thank you to activity staff for getting my dad to join in with activities, seeing my dad laugh and smile melts my heart.
Dear Hayley, many thanks for taking the time to review our home, it is our pleasure to care for your dad. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Elizabeth Fleming family.
This home is ok. I came twice a week to visit. The major problem is the staff. Some staff are amazing and will bend over backwards. There is one staff member here who is constantly on her phone and ignores the residents. She has a duty of care and ignores this. Care does depend on which staff is on!
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. All feedback is welcomed and allows us to continually develop our service. Your comments have been passed to the home manager, who will investigate immediately.
The experience here is well appreciated and good.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass your kind words on to your key worker and the Elizabeth Fleming team.
My mam's been in the Elizabeth Fleming for almost a year now. The staff treat her like family; they are all so kind and welcoming to my family. The meals are very appetising, and the rooms are clean and warm. I have no concerns whatsoever. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care, respect and love they give my mam.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our pleasure to care for your Mum. I will, of course, pass on your kind words to the manager and the Elizabeth Fleming family.
Absolutely beautiful home, always clean and tidy. Staff are amazing with the residents; they're always entertaining them. The food is freshly made and well-presented. The residents seem happy and well cared for.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. All feedback is welcomed and allows us to continually develop our service. Your kind words are greatly appreciated, and I will, of course, pass them on to the manager and the team.
My wife has lived her over a year, the home does want updating in places and the activities and updates we receive could be more often. The staff are nice and I think the care is good. I am in most day visiting.
Dad came into this home during lockdown, we were unable to visit any homes to view their set up/services, which was difficult. However, staff/management are friendly. Visiting throughout lockdown was quite tough for us as a family, we were not allowed to see Dad's room or any facilities it offered. Before we got to see his own room he had been here for a year nearly, so felt it would not be fair if we were not happy with his surrounding/facilities at that point in time? Dad will never settle in a care home, he just wants to be in his own home. However, this is no longer an option for him due to hishealth and his safety. I feel lately the home has struggled to keep up with cleaning, staffing and activity support, but know a group of relatives/friends have arranged help sorting outside areas for residents which is fantastic, but feel Martin Care Homes are letting Elizabeth Fleming Care Home and residents here down through lack of help/support and fees we pay them, pass some onto the home to help!
