My first impressions have been absolutely superb. I can't thank the staff enough for all the wonderful care they give my mother-in-law in room 21. She has settled in so well. She has a completely different approach to her happiness. She seems such a different person, keeping busy, walking and meeting new friends. It's so lovely to see her flourish. I honestly am in awe of all your amazing staff. They are all wonderful beings.
Dear Claire, thank you for your kind words. My team and I appreciate your kindness and noticing the difference we are making. It is always a delight to look after your mother-in-law. We are delighted that you trust Craighead to look after your loved one.
When we were viewing homes for my mum (dementia), the manager (don’t think I’m allowed to give names) was just simply incredible and made the whole process and situation a whole lot easier.

When we were viewing homes for my mum (dementia), the manager (don’t think I’m allowed to give names) was just simply incredible and made the whole process and situation a whole lot easier. When the time came for my mum to go into Craighead, the staff can only be described as outstanding. Not only with my mum but also with my dad, who was struggling with the whole ordeal. We have already seen a huge improvement with my mum in terms of hygiene, eating and energy levels. The cleanliness of the home itself is fantastic, and the room is bright and spacious. If you go onto their Facebook page, you can see the amount of activities that are always on. Once again, can I please thank the staff from the whole family for making this time so much bearable and being so fantastic.
Dear Chris, thank you for your kind words. I am glad mum is settling in well at Craighead Care Home and that my team has provided an outstanding service. We continue to support mum and your family and help make each day memorable.
There is a new manager who looks like she knows what she is doing. Very respectful taking the time to speak to me and nothing was too much for her. Hopefully, this is the start of better days at Craighead House. I have the feeling that this is what the people who work at the house need.

Dear John, thank you for your trust and positive feedback. Craighead is certainly on a journey and you will find vast improvements as days go along. I look forward to your next visit. Regards.
My Mother was a resident for about 6 years before passing. She was an unusual case in that she had input/output Aphasia and in an environment of high turnover of staff and management, her care was not the best but under the circumstances, I guess it was about satisfactory.

He was very settled at Craighead Care Home and absolutely loved the view. He enjoyed having a chat when staff had the time to and he liked having a joke with them. Some of the staff took time to get to know him and us as well. He was able to keep some bits of his independence for as long as possible which was very beneficial for him.
Thank you for your feedback Sarah, Grandad is missed by us all, he was a true gentleman.
My dad has received excellent care and support since his arrival in Craighead Care Home in October 2021 and continues to benefit from being there.

Mum seems to have settled and we are always promptly informed of any medical concerns. I can definitely recommend Craighead to other families.
I give a big thank you to all Craighead Care Home staff and management for the care and support that they gave to my mother in her final years. She was very happy at Craighead Care Home. She had a very special 80th birthday celebration with family, staff and other residents.

I am delighted with the diligence of all staff during those very difficult times.
Your feedback will be shared with the team here at Craighead Care Home.
The staff involved with caring for my Mother obviously have had a difficult job, during the lockdown over the last year or so but have always kept me updated on how my Mum is doing. I have received numerous emails about the activities for residents during these difficult times.

My dad was in this care home for two weeks and I could not fault it. The staff were very nice and friendly, the food was excellent and the home was very clean. I would recommend this home. A big thank you.

Last year at this time I would have rated Craighead at 0. However, since the new management team have taken over, life at Craighead has improved so much so, that I have another family member there. The activities organiser is absolutely wonderful. I know Craighead had a bad reputation. I say to potential families and residents "come and see for yourself and don't listen to rumours". I would rate Craighead as 4 stars.

The first impression of home it was bright and welcoming. The manager and staff are very helpful. In the few weeks, my husband has been a resident he appears to have settled and is more contented and happy with the staff who are very attentive.
