Balfarg Care Home

My great gran is so happy and contented at Balfarg. The staff are attentive and no request is too much. The activities are varied and tailored to meet the needs of all the people who live there. It is just like a big house with a big family living in it.

A loving caring nursing home, my wife settled very quickly over a year ago and continues to be happy and contented. The staff really care about their residents, they are attentive and loving all with a happy and humorous approach. Facilities are good, comfortable with very good food. Management are also very loving, plenty of activities both inside and out.

They have good fun with them, sing along with them and have the old-time songs playing at lunchtime and it is so homely. There are a lot of activities to do, they have outings or when it is sunny, they go in the garden. Every month they have a guest singer. It is a very relaxed place to visit as well and the staff always speak to you too.

I found the home to be very friendly and happy. Very helpful when asked something. I would not hesitate in letting family and friends know about the home.

My great aunt is settled and contented.

Nice, clean, friendly home where my aunt is comfortable and happy.

Lovely friendly staff. Nice and clean. Caring atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble.

Generally good. Unfortunately, security can be a bit too much, not enough freedom of movement. Having said that patient care must come first.

Since going into the home, I have improved a lot.

The staff treat my mother with respect and are very polite when I visit. The food is very good and the cleanliness is of a very high standard in her room and communal rooms. Activities are varied she enjoys the company. The staff work hard to maintain a high standard. It is nice having the hairdresser there too. I am very pleased with the support and care. Thank you.

Balfarg has given my mother in law a stable home and us as family peace of mind.

I feel my mum is safe and cared for.

My Mother (93) arrived at Balfarg Care Home on 5/12/16. She arrived with a chest infection and quickly lost weight and would not eat. This was a worrying time!

Since then, she has picked up and has met a few other residents she gets on with. She still needs to put on more weight and now that she is eating better, hopefully we will see an improvement. My brothers and sister are happy where she is, she is getting looked after well and the staff could not be more helpful.

This establishment is fantastic from the management to staff. Lovely entertainment put on daily. Food is good.

The physical layout of the facility makes it easier for residents to find their way around. It is also on the one level. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring.

I am telling you about the home that I am a resident. Firstly, the staff could not be nicer to all, anything I have a question about is answered. The staff are friendly in all ways, it is kept very clean and the food is lovely and served very pleasantly by the staff. The nurse couldn't be better in seeing to anything that may be bothering me.

My dad is well looked after, always washed and clean. The staff are always pleasant and very good with my dad.

Well looked after at Balfarg. Staff are very obliging if you need anything. I have the choice of participating in activities that interest me. I've bonded with a few of the other male residents. The standards in the home are decent enough.

My sister-in-law has been here for 3 months so I am getting to know the care home. First impressions is that the staff all seem friendly and helpful. The activities I have seen so far are enjoyed by the residents and are varied to suit their needs, coordination and abilities. Food and drink seem very good and I am sure is enjoyed by residents as they all talk about being full up. Staff are good to accommodate the fussy appetites.

My mother has vascular dementia and has been a resident in the Balfarg Care Home for 15 months now. I researched numerous care homes before deciding on the above home. I can honestly say I selected the best home for my mother as the staff treat her as one of their own relatives and the care is of a very high standard. I receive regular contact from the Balfarg enquiring if I have any concerns with my mothers care and as I visit three/four times a week I see different members of staff. My mother has settled nicely and calls her room "her home". I feel it is like an extension to my mothers family.
