The staff are, without exception, kind and friendly and never fail to say hello when I meet them during visits, even if I am just walking past them in the corridor....
Perhaps most importantly, I have complete peace of mind with regard to the care my mother is receiving.
Food and drink are plentiful, not always to Dad's taste but the staff have taken this on board and he has...
Communication is very good and I am kept updated if anything changes to Dad's condition.

My mum was in residential care but sadly her condition deteriorated and she required dementia unit care. From the first telephone call to her now, new permanent home I have been so so fortunate to have been helped by the team at Tor-na-Dee. You are great. My mum is well cared for in all aspects. Thank you all.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all the staff at Tor-na-Dee for the care and compassion they have afforded Mum in her 3 years as a resident. It has been hard for many reasons, not least the pandemic, but where possible, it looks like Mum is well looked after and most importantly to us,...
Thank you from all of us.
The staff look after our aunt wonderfully and cope with her dementia and all the peculiarities that can bring, in a very gentle but sensitive manner. My sister and I feel that we could approach any of the staff to ask for help or advice on my aunt's care.

I feel confident that each time I visit I find him clean, smart and very well cared for. I feel that the unit provides a very homely, loving atmosphere which I feel very comfortable in while visiting.

The care given at Tor-na-Dee is excellent! The resident is supported by staff who are happy and pass that joy on to the resident as they care for them. The communication between staff and myself always informs me of any health changes, medical concerns and the purpose of doctor visits. This is a home that is very well managed and is to be commended for its family atmosphere and attention to details that matter.
The care my mum receives is excellent. The staff see to all her needs and are always very friendly. The staff and management have worked very hard this year through Covid. I have always been kept well informed during this time. I would recommend Tor-na-Dee.

The treatment and care of Dad are good. Although having to operate within Covid guidelines, which have proved hard for him to appreciate. Communication from the care home is excellent. Staff are understandable of Dads nature despite him often being difficult. The constraints of Covid have been difficult for all limiting visits and outings etc. Overall very happy with the care home.
The staff and management are sensitive to the wider family involvement of their residents care. We are made to feel involved and welcomed to participate. Mum's care is exceptional, personal and suited to her needs to feel safe, comfortable and part of the home community.

My mother has been in Tor-na-Dee for over four years, and from day one, the level of care has been exemplary. Also, the communication to us as family members has been first class.

The staff and the care that they provide at Tor-na-Dee are absolutely outstanding. I would have no hesitations in recommending Tor-no-Dee care home.

My mum has been living in Tor-na-Dee since November 2018. Choosing a care home for a loved one is a big decision, and after visiting many homes in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, as soon as I walked into Tor-na-Dee, I knew I had found the one for my mum. During that initial visit, there was a group singing session going on in the dining room, and as I stopped to look and listen, I was moved by all the beautiful voices and smiling faces, residents and staff. I was impressed with the friendliness of the manager, and as we moved through the whole home on my tour, she knew the names and chatted to all the residents, staff and visitors we came across. Tor-na-Dee has capacity for a large number of residents, but because the home is split into smaller units, there is a homely atmosphere. My initial impression of Tor-na-Dee was correct, and in the time my mum has been there, she has been extremely well cared for by all the wonderful staff in a clean, happy, active and well organised home.
Excellent during Covid- unhappy with the care inspectorate grades - very unfair to the home and staff.

I’ve been a registered nurse for more than a decade, mainly working with older people.
I chose to join Care UK because the organisation’s values match my own. There is also ongoing training, and we receive great support from the wider team.
One of the most important aspects of my role is to ensure everyone is safe and happy. It is wonderfully rewarding to see the positive difference the team here makes, enabling residents to live a fulfilling life.
As a home manager, it is important to be able to bring the team together and empower colleagues. Seeing a well-run team deliver the best possible care with a smile and seeing colleagues enjoying their roles makes me so proud of what I do. A big part of that means you need to have patience, empathy and kindness in this role; a good sense of humour helps too.
In 2024, we were recognised as the region of the year. For me and my colleagues, this was an incredible highlight.
Outside of work, I’m an enthusiastic scuba diver and have been lucky enough to dive in some amazing places; the Silfra tectonic plates are on my list to visit. I also have rescue dogs and help fund raise for various rescue charities.
