Food is inconsistent. Fish and chips (Friday) and roast on Sunday are very good. Breakfast is good. Lunch tends to be soup which is good but other food can be very stodgy. No salafs. Stodgy pasta, lots of chips - unhealthy and often unappetising.
Activities are lacking - no regular, meaningful or stimulating activities aside from church service televised on Sundays. Weekly activities and singing would be appreciated.
Staff are lovely though!
Thank you for the positive comments. We have passed on your feedback on food and activities to the team and they will use your feedback to continue to improve the services we provide.
No complaints. Can find no fault with any part of the home. Staff excellent. Part of the home is being rebuilt but has no effect on care.

We are very happy with the care given to Mum since she has been in Forth Bay. Her health has improved somewhat since she came to stay, thank you.

Excellent care. Mum always well cared for. We regularly visit, even impromptu visits, and Mum always tidy, clean, well dressed, hair/nails done. Staff/management keep me informed and are approachable for questions. We have good rapport with staff.

My cousin is clean and always in clean clothes and if she dirties them they are changed promptly. My cousin, even though she can't communicate, I can see she is happy and content.
Everything about this care home is first class, from the staff to the surroundings, the food, the cleanliness - excellent!

Before my dad went into your home, I had nightmares about homes and said my parents would never go into one but your home is amazing from your very lovely staff. The way my dad and everyone is treated as an individual and with dignity. Dad is well looked after, well fed, has a bath whenever he likes. The home is beautiful and great for organising entertainment for their residents. The manager is so approachable and lovely to chat over everything regarding dad.

Since arriving she has received first class care in every aspect of her palliative care from the extremely kind, caring and professional team of nurses and carers here at Forth Bay.
Her room is bright with nice decoration and is kept spotlessly clean.
The home, in general, has a happy and welcoming atmosphere.
There is nowhere else my family and I would rather have her as we move closer to her end of life.
She was immediately made welcome and treated with the utmost respect by all the staff, as were the family.

She was immediately made welcome and treated with the utmost respect by all the staff, as were the family.
Her room was large, bright, cheery and spotlessly clean.
The staff were thorough, professional, friendly and helpful.
All the above culminated in making an extremely difficult, trying time, easier to handle.
My family and I could not fault Forth Bay Nursing Home.
I am very happy with the care my husband receives from all the staff. I feel my husband's care is very 'person-centred' for his needs. I am very grateful for how the staff have treated me. I cannot find any fault in any of my husband's care. I feel the staff have all got to know him very well...

I joined Forth Bay as a newly qualified Staff Nurse in 2001 and have since taken on a number of senior roles, including Charge Nurse and Deputy Manager.
It is this in-depth knowledge of the home that has equipped me well as Home Manager.
I strive to give our residents the care and lifestyle they wish to have and endeavour to involve them in every aspect of their care.
As well as spending time with residents and making sure that they are comfortable, safe and happy, I see it as an important part of my role to act as a mentor to my team. I firmly believe that a happy, fulfilled and motivated team puts us in a better position to consistently deliver a high standard of care.
