Home Farm Care Home

After a wobbly start, we are now very pleased with the care given to Mum and the staff are wonderful.

The manager is very good and very helpful, but there is one man who doesn't give a very nice welcome to friends and family. I hope it stays pet-friendly.

I would certainly recommend this home to others.

I think I will always feel emotional when I visit my beautiful mum and I feel reassured knowing the staff are very supportive and understanding. I hope to visit again soon, can’t wait to see my mum's little face. Thank you to the staff who take such great care of my precious mum.

I visit frequently and the staff are friendly and welcoming and always ready to help. I am confident that I am kept fully informed of any health issues and all aspects of my parents' care are discussed with me.

There is a wide variety of activities to cater for all tastes. The food is excellent and appetising. The rooms are comfortable and personalised.

My mother has improved beyond all expectations in the happy family atmosphere and my father was touched by the warm welcome home he received after a recent spell in hospital.

The whole family are reassured that my parents are safe and happy and feel ‘at home’ at Home Farm.

The care shown to our darling Dad was always great but during the time he was unwell and at his death, it was just wonderful - such caring and amazing friends looking after our dearest Dad. The way we were all supported as a family has been such a strength to us and we are overwhelmed by it, words simply can't express how highly we rate Home Farm Care Home. Thank you all very very much.

Both Manager and Assistant were extremely helpful and polite in addressing our queries as first-time visitors. They are to follow up all our requests to ensure my Auntie is as comfortable as possible.

My sister-in-law has been cared for here for many years and has been exceptionally well looked after. She is now 104 years old and has been treated so very well in every respect. She has her own room and is very comfortable.

Lots of activities for the residents and the staff take time to talk and care for everyone.

Very happy with the care my Mother is receiving. Staff are excellent and extremely caring. Also, I receive regular updates regarding my Mother which is greatly appreciated.

When my mother-in-law arrived towards the end of March, she was warmly welcomed. All organisation regarding her move from Kent was made much easier due to the very helpful staff in Portree.

Since her arrival, I have only noticed kindness and consideration from all the staff. Nothing has been too much trouble and we have at no time been made to feel that we were a trouble or that any question was too small.

We are delighted with the care given to our relative which gives us peace of mind as we live quite a distance away on the mainland.

Very good.

I can honestly say that I have never known a care home as good as Home Farm. The rooms, including communal areas, are all clean and bright. There are no unpleasant odours, residents are allowed personal belongings and furniture where appropriate and the layout and public areas a spacious and welcoming. Best of all, however, is the general atmosphere and welcome. The staff are without fail helpful, caring and above all cheerful. The public areas and office are always full of laughter and happiness which rubs off onto the residents who add to the welcome more often than not. From all I have seen and all that I am told by the residents, Home Farm is a wonderful place to be if your own home is no longer a viable option. This is only made possible because of the staff and local management, so a big thank you to all concerned. Oh...and I nearly forgot, I hear the food is pretty good as well. What more could anyone want.

My father has settled into the home due to the support from all the staff. He is well looked after and cared for. He is treated as an individual and his needs are met as an individual, not a number. He has not lost his identity at all and still has his sense of humour. He receives encouragement to socialise and take part in activities - very much aware of what is going on. Took part in the burns supper ceilidhs etc.

An excellent home.

The best in Scotland.

This nursing home is out of this world and staff are jewels. Must be the best in Britain.

I only wish he had agreed to be moved sooner.

My Mother-in-law is cared for in a safe and caring environment. Physically, she is very well cared for in terms of her personal care, she is well fed and hydrated regularly. Mentally she attends little events within the home. She appears happy, settled and we have nothing but praise for the staff, of all levels.
