Fidra House

I'd recommend Fidra House if you are looking for a care home in the area.

The staff are always friendly and caring towards my dad. Even when he has tricky days, they show patience and understanding. He enjoys chatting to the staff, and any grumble he might have, the staff listen and try and help where possible.

In spite of all the other health problems outside Fidra at the moment, they are very careful, making sure that all the safety measures are happening before you are allowed in for the visit, and throughout the visit. Mum's room is nice and clean, and she has enough personal things there so that she can feel comfortable when she looks around too. All in all, this seems to be a nice, well-run place. Thanks.

Furthermore, during the present Covid situation they have coped extremely well without any incidents.

From the minute you walk in, lovely friendly atmosphere at reception. Lovely clean smell kept to a high standard of cleanliness. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Have done an excellent job with regard to Covid with all the restrictions.

Home very clean and tidy and staff only too willing to help with any issues. Don't see the food served but from feedback, it seems it is good quality and nutritional. Lovely surroundings and garden well kept, all in all, I'm very happy with the care given.

At a very worrisome time, my siblings and I did not expect to feel so relaxed and extremely at ease with this step in our nana’s life. These first four weeks have been so reassuring the staff are all so kind and compassionate. The food is so good and at 93, my nana is now eating vegetables (She never has done in her first 93 years). The rooms are always clean and fresh. Also, the care that goes into each resident looking so well looked after - hair lovely, well-dressed and cared for. Every visit, I leave with a smile, sometimes a heavy heart but I feel reassured Fidra House is her perfect place.

My mother is content in Fidra House. All aspects of her care are excellent and we are reassured that her good care continues at all times, giving us a clear mind leaving her in capable, caring hands. All staff, kitchen, laundry, nursing/care, domestic are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We are particularly pleased with the level of activities offered.

During my last visit, residents were being entertained trying to catch soap bubbles and bean bags were also being used to keep them active. Balloons were being bounced about in order for residents to catch them or knock them back to the lady working with them. The rooms have recently been upgraded.

The staff are very helpful and considerate. Good activities and variety of food for residents.

My Aunt has been in Fidra since last year. She is 95 and although physically restricted has all her mental capacity. Before going to Fidra she lived on her own with support from visiting Carers but was obviously depressed. Fidra care and staff have brought her back to life again. Kind, understanding, helpful staff.

Mum is very well looked after, the staff always make friends and family welcome, the care home is well run and looked after by the maintenance staff also meals are excellent and a good variety. I would not hesitate to recommend Fidra to anybody.
