Review from Ruth M (Sister of Resident) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Staff are always very caring and have a good relationship with my brother. The cooks go out of their way to try and make blended food look as near to what others are having so he will eat it. All visitors are treated with respect too.

If we ask for anything for my brother, they do their utmost to do it.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Elaine M (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Paul Millar, Marketing Manager at Elizabeth Fleming Care Home

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

Review from L C (Friend of Resident) published on 11 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The home is making some great improvements in regard to decoration.

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.

Overall Experience
The family were very pleased with my relative's care. At times he was a difficult resident to deal with but the staff persevered with him always tending to his needs and adopting different approaches in managing his needs.

The home feels like a family environment and the staff make a significant contribution to that.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Elizabeth Fleming Care Home

Thank you for your positive review. We appreciate your acknowledgement of the dedicated care provided to your relative, even during challenging moments.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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!

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.

Review from L R (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!
