Review from Maree C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 December 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum moved into Southside from hospital. The home is tastefully decorated, room sizes large and has all the amenities required. The stand out is the manager and her staff, they are all lovely and genuinely care for the residents. I'm so glad we chose Southside as it's homely and caring with excellent staff and lovely food. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

Review from Moira M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 21 November 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Would highly recommend Southside. Very friendly and amazing staff, from management down to carers, chefs, cleaners, and handyman. Great atmosphere, welcoming. Always entertaining the residents. Great meals. Couldn't ask for better care, so attentive and caring. Great with family, always keeping in touch, getting to know everyone. It's like being part of a big family, always made to feel welcome. Motivate the residents with loads of activities and, a beautiful garden that is well-used in summer. If you're looking for a home for a loved one, look here you won't be disappointed.
