Mum has been a resident of Lammermuir House for almost a year now and has settled well thanks to the amazing care that she has received. All staff have been very supportive and helpful. Mum often comments about how much she loves her amazing sea views and that she enjoys the food. Mum also enjoys sitting in the social areas and can take part in planned activities if she wants to. I am very reassured that mum is receiving the very best care that she needs at this time in her life.
It is a pleasure looking after your mum for the last year :-)Thank you for your kind words and reassurance that we are doing the best we can for mum
The building which is situated next to the beach is a perfect size, not too big that the residents are lost in the crowd and not too small that they are all crammed in together.

The building which is situated next to the beach is a perfect size, not too big that the residents are lost in the crowd and not too small that they are all crammed in together.
It's great that they have a choice of lounges to sit in with sea views, and the communal area always has music playing.
The food is of a good standard, with a choice of two meals on the menu which can be adapted to dietary requirements.
The staff are always on the go, but never too busy that they can't sit down for a chat/cup of tea or even a dance with the residents.
They do a fantastic job and really make the effort to make the residents feel like they're home and are one big family.
Mum loves it there, and it has given us all great peace of mind that she's
happy.
And to be honest, with those views, I wouldn't mind a room there myself!
I have nothing...
I have nothing but praise for Lammernuir. All the staff, whatever their role are kind, cheerful and compassionate to residents and relatives alike. My mother is very fortunate to be a resident.
All the staff are approachable, friendly and helpful. They find time to listen to any concerns I have had about my mother's health and have kept in touch, providing information about the actions taken in response.

So happy both my parents are in Lammermuir because I know they are getting well looked after. Homemade meals and plenty of cups of tea and homemade cakes to enjoy. The care home is spacious and very clean and a lovely feeling when you pop in, always someone to speak to and let you know how parents are getting on. Day trips and plenty of activities every day to enjoy. Beautiful views and so relaxing. Mum and Dad have been made to feel very welcome and can’t praise the care home enough. Thank you.
Both my parents have been lucky to find a place in Lammermuir House Care Home. The manager is wonderful and helpful and all of his staff are so friendly and welcoming. When we arrived every one of the staff came to say hello and introduced themselves. The staff are always very welcoming and make...
The home is spotless, with no nasty smells anywhere. The food is also good and always available is a cuppa and home baking. In the past, the home didn't have a good reputation but the new team has turned everything around and has done fabulous work towards getting better reports from The care commission.
There is a good range of activities for the residents and they also have the use of a minibus, our mum loved going out to see the Lamas. We feel that our parents have settled in well and feel if we ever need help with anything they would deal with it.
This is the only home in the area that does what they say on the tin.

My mother has been a resident at Lammermuir for 8 years. The care and services are fantastic. The staff perform theme days 2 or 3 times a month which can be Mexican, Italian, French night etc with the appropriate food, drink, costumes, guest artists including celebrity impersonators, animals for the residents to pet, magic shows. Lammermuir has a mini bus and the staff take the residents to local fish and chip shops and cafes. All this is far above expectations and gives residents enjoyment in life. Lammermuir has beautiful gardens to take exercise with wonderful views over the Firth of Forth. Photographs and videos of the residents and staff doing outdoor and indoor activities with them are shown on social media almost every day and reassures their families of the quality of life they are having. We have every confidence in everyone looking after her and give a 5-star hotel status. A big thank you to all the staff for making this happen. Thanks again to all the team for the tremendous work you do.

Top marks - Lammermuir House is an excellent care home and Mum is very well cared for and involved in many activities if she so chooses. There is a choice of lounge areas to sit in, lovely views from the windows and it is a nice open space that doesn't feel too crowded. Communal areas have recently been nicely re-decorated and have new chairs and furniture. As a long-term resident, the family have been very happy with Mum's care and the lovely staff. Her clothes and bed sheets are always nice and clean and housekeeping staff keep her room lovely and tidy. Highly recommended.

Very happy my dad is in this home. We live quite far away and can only get up to visit around once a month, knowing he is so well cared for is very comforting. The team are always kind, considerate, and welcoming. I love that they do so many activities and keep dad occupied. It is great being able to see regular photos on social media of everything they have been doing. The whole team are great. His carers, in particular, are very good with my dad and they always keep us informed and are welcoming and reassuring.

I found the home bright and friendly. The staff are all very helpful, welcoming and seemed to be giving my husband the attention that he needs. He has seemed to have settled in and is comfortable most of the time apart from when he needs to be hoisted. Special arrangements were made to celebrate his 90th birthday. The room is bright and with two windows where he has plenty of light to read and see outside. Staff have been very helpful in enabling us to have contact by facetime when we are not able to visit which keeps us in touch. He enjoys the food and arrangements were made for him to have a special recliner made for his dimensions. The staff are good at keeping him company.
The two carers go above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my father. We have also seen firsthand the level of care that was provided for other residents which is of the highest order. His two carers are the names he remembers most and it is due to their professionalism and high standards...
The two carers go above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my father. We have also seen firsthand the level of care that was provided for other residents which is of the highest order. His two carers are the names he remembers most and it is due to their professionalism and high standards of care that this is the case. We know that under their care, my father is extremely well looked after which helps us sleep at night.
