Burnside Nursing Home

Our aunt has been in the home since Oct 2018

Visited the care home today after the garden party, when staff had taken the time and effort not only to get residents outdoors in the sun but create a party atmosphere. My mother was still wearing her glamorous hat at dinner when I arrived. It would have been easier to leave residents upstairs in their rooms but the staff really made a great effort to improve the health and mental wellbeing of those in their care. Thank you

Staff have kept me up to date when doctor called etc..

I look forward to the next one!

Mum has only been in the home a few weeks. The staff and the care provided is wonderful. Mum seems to have settled in really well. The activities provided are brilliant and very inclusive.

We are very happy with the care at Burnside and would recommend this home as being very good indeed.

My mother was in 4wks respite, treated very well by staff, joined in on most activities. Enjoyed her meals during her stay. Her room was always clean & tidy. Gave the family peace of mind to know that she was looked after very well during her stay.

Burnside Culture Day 25 July 2025. Staff from all areas of the care home came together to deliver an afternoon of fun and joy. Many of the people involved were volunteering their own time and talents much to the delight of the many residents who attended in the well tended, flag bedecked garden. Residents enjoyed food, music and dancing including Scottish Highland dancing accompanied by a piper and a "flash mob" of staff all happily dancing together. The food - a very important thing, for many residents, was excellent. A hot buffet of Asian food prepared mainly by the Fillipine staff. There was a variety of textures, smells and tastes. The multicultural event included songs from various countries. A happy, happy day!

All Burnside staff go the extra mile to provide residents with a friendly, happy environment. Emphasis is on a planned programme of social interaction and events tailored to individual residents' interests. Management are easily contacted, acting promptly on any query.

There is a nice clean area which we use regularly for fresh air and relaxing.

We, my family and myself, were delighted with the change in my husband within just a few days when a resident for respite care. He was more alert and we understand he participated in all of the activities available to the residents. All of the staff caring for my husband were so kind and looked after him so well. They made us very welcome when we visited. My husband was treated like a king by all of the staff. Thank you.

No problems, the staff are all excellent. My husband is always clean and tidy even though he can be challenging at times they are very patient and caring. I am always kept up to date with any changes in medication and any problems I have get dealt with well. I'm confident he is getting well looked after which is the most important thing.

My mum has been a resident since 25th January. We (the family) and Mum have been very happy with all aspects of her care. Every member of staff has been so caring and helpful. Mum's moving to a home to be closer to the family.

When family visit we are met with smiles and nothing it too much trouble.

Visited Burnside Nursing Home to see my dad, who had just enjoyed his Burns (supper) lunch. The care and friendly banter from the staff towards all the residents is lovely to hear and see. And it's reassuring to know that he is being very well looked after.

My husband and I felt well cared for at Burnside and were made to feel most welcome by all staff at all times. A minibus tour was organised by activities coordinators the first week we arrived which allowed us to learn about the local area with some of the other residents. I felt everyone was supportive of my husband and his condition. Both carers and nurses always discussed issues and I felt that together we resolved issues in a proactive way. All staff were approachable, supportive and caring making me feel valued and part of my husband's care team. The care team at Burnside encouraged and mobilised my husband so much so that he was able to come home after I gained experience and confidence while working with carers. Thank you!

I feel my mother is well cared for in Burnside Nursing Home. I have just attended a quiz night with my mum, for fundraising. The carers are all very pleasant to Mum and will discuss any concerns I have about Mum and act on them.

Staff know Mum and her likes/dislikes.

Excellent nursing home with wonderful staff who go "above and beyond" to care for the residents.

My mother was in for respite care and we could not fault the home. Her mobility was poor, urine infection and confused. The staff were outstanding. They took control of Mum's medication and got things under control. Working with the family concerns, they supported Mum to move and on leaving, her mobility was much improved.
