Well what can I say? My mother was in Craighead Care Home from summer 2018 - December 2021. It was bad to adequate. What a turn around the manager has done. The decor is bright and welcoming. All staff are kind, caring, respectful and helpful They are wonderful. Activities are brilliant. Receptionist on in the hallway is lovely. Once, the worst care home in the local area (for a long time), now its the best, with a waiting list. Well done to the manager and the staff. If only you could have been there in 2018.
We are humbled with your kind words for our team and your excellent feedback. We can't take back the past, but will continue to work hard for a better future of all our residents here at Craighead Care Home. We are thankful that you are part of our journey. Your words have made us all feel seen and valued.

Our concerns and fears of how my mother in law would settle in were quickly alleviated by the skill and professionalism of the management and staff. We are kept informed of any issues of health that arise and are made most welcome when visiting. There is a great view over the Tay which is therapeutic and car parking is never a problem. My mother in law is getting the skillset that we lacked and that has given us peace of mind.
Thankyou for your kind words. We are glad that mum is enjoying her stay and has settled in well. She is a delight to look after. We want all our residents to think of Craighead Care Home as a 'home for life' where they are affectionately surrounded with an authentic family ambience. We look forward to your next visit.

Myself and family are so happy with Craighead care home. Moving mum into care was a huge and stressful decision especially as we knew mum did not want to go into a care home. Mum has now been living in Craighead for a month and it was absolutely the correct decision. Mum is so happy and she settled...

I am very pleased with the care my husband receives at Craighead. The staff are marvellous, so caring and kind. They are very pleasant and you can see in their faces that they enjoy what they do. It's like everyone is part of a family. It was a stressful time having to find a care home for my husband, worrying in case he didn't get good care or that he wouldn't settle. Our worries were soon allayed. We can see on our visits that he is well cared for, well-fed, and is very happy and content, which gives our family peace of mind.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your kind words. We are glad that your loved one has settled in well and is enjoying his stay with us here at Craighead. We look forward to your next visit.

I am pleased that my relative is at Craighead. All the staff deserve a medal for their dedication and all the hard work they do. Every time I visit, they are always pleasant and friendly, and you can see how they care so much for the residents and treat them with dignity and respect. They interact well with the residents - they play games, provide them with various forms of entertainment (bingo, gardening, candle-making, singing, music and dancing, to name but a few) as well as taking them out for occasional day trips on the bus. Three meals a day are provided, which must be good because my relative eats everything given! Craighead provides secure accommodation, which gives us peace of mind. The bedrooms are adequate with a bed and some furniture, with a private toilet and sink. My relative is content and has not once asked to go 'home' since being a Craighead resident. Thanks again to you all.

We had to make the agonising decision last April 2023 to place my mum who has dementia into a care home. This was an extremely difficult decision to make as Mum had always said she never wanted to go into a care home. We toured Craighead with the manager and I took to her straight away. She was genuine, honest and transparent from the outset. Fast forward one year and Mum remains happy and content at Craighead and it’s all we can ask. If there are any issues or concerns, no matter how small, I know they will be dealt with in an efficient, professional, timely manner. The staff are kind, compassionate, respectful and genuine. Residents engage in so many meaningful activities as well as having their daily care needs met and the monthly calendar is full of events, activities and entertainment that is really appreciated and enjoyed by all. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of care home for Mum. Thank you so much to you all at Craighead. You are so appreciated.
Dear Tracey, thank you for your very honest and heartwarming review. I am glad that we are able to support Mum in her journey with dementia. Moreover, I am glad that we have a holistic relationship with you and your family. I am sure my team will be proud to read that their commitment is acknowledged and praised by our families. We look forward to your next visit.
I'm always impressed with all the staff's attitudes - 100%. The home is clean and welcoming and I feel that my dad, and all the residents, are being looked after and are in safe hands.

Thank you for your kind words. It is our honour looking after Dad. We are glad that Dad is happy and we will continue to look after him and provide him with the best care.
My gran, who has dementia, has recently become a resident at Craighead Care Home, and I'm so thankful she has found a home there. The staff are excellent; all very knowledgeable, kind, attentive, welcoming and friendly - they seem to know the residents very well and always make time to say hi or to...
Additionally, the monthly activity planners are always full of a variety of stimulating and interesting activities, all with a focus on health, well-being and enjoyment. I always enjoy seeing updates on the Facebook page! I was a bit nervous about my gran going into a care home, but now, I'm so pleased and so very impressed by the standard of care being delivered. I cannot recommend Craighead enough, and just a massive thank you to all the staff team!
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your kindness and are glad that Gran has found her home away from home. We look forward to your next visit.
My aunt has recently become a resident. The staff have supported her in this change. The level of care is of a high standard, ensuring her individual needs are met. The home is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

My husband has been a resident for over seven years and in that time there has been a rollercoaster of the level of care. However, the present management team have transformed the home and I cannot speak highly enough about it now. A care home is like a pyramid and with the right team at the top it can achieve amazing results. You can see and feel the difference in the environment and this is reflected in the happy supportive staff. The residents are always treated as individuals and their former lives are celebrated by requests for items to display that reflect their former career. A selection of his paintings were requested for display in the corridors, such an extremely touching gesture of compassion and respect. The daily activities are fun and interesting. I was privileged to be asked to jointly chair the residents' relatives meetings and so good to hear positive comments from all present. I would certainly recommend Craighead and I salute the caring staff team.
We were extremely lucky to have the chance to know your husband, and yourself. We are thankful to you for jointly chairing the residents' relatives meetings. Craighead will continue to work towards providing our residents, and their loved ones, with the best experience in care.
My husband has now been a resident at Craighead Care Home for 6 months and I know that he is in good hands. Looked after 24 hours a day, with every wish catered for by management and staff who are extremely friendly and obliging and nothing is too much bother in this lovely 'care' home.
