My mother entered the care home in August 2025 & Sadly passed away in December 2025. The overall opinion of the care home was that mum was well looked after but certain aspects were in our opinion poor, food was of a poor overall standard, there seemed to be a lack of activities/social interaction, on more than one occasion mum was in a distressed state awaiting help with toileting & we had to ask for assistance a few times before she was attended to. After mum passed, there was no communication from the care home despite sending an email to kindly thank them for their care & no representative from care home attended the funeral

My father has been in Guthrie House since April 2025. Since the first day, not only has my father received a warm welcome but so have all family & friends. All the staff, without exception, are friendly, professional, helpful but also happy. All the areas are clean & well kept. The food is lovely. There are lots of activities like bbq's, singers, arts & crafts & quizzes. The staff are always on hand if you have any queries. There's a lovely garden for nicer days. It's lovely to see all the staff interacting with the residents.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for the Team at Guthrie.
I am constantly struck by the kindness, patience and professionalism of the staff at Guthrie House. My father (not the resident) who worked with a social care charity said it was 'As good a care home as he had seen'.

I have always found the staff to be helpful and polite to me and provided a tea or coffee when I have been visiting my sister.

The most satisfying feature of this care home is the staff, who from management down are highly caring, professional and proficient. My wife is treated with the utmost dignity and respect, as are, to my observation, all other residents. The staff are happy and display the utmost courtesy to visitors. It is heartening to be greeted, on visiting, with a smile and a welcome. It is clear that the management are working tirelessly to maintain and improve standards throughout with engagement and communication with relatives a priority. Overall, an excellent establishment.

I contacted the reception area to arrange the use of a room for my brother's and sister to have a pre-Christmas celebration with my mother (99 years old) who is a resident. Not only was the room available as scheduled and nicely set up, coffee, tea and soft drinks were provided, together with biscuits. The family provided the sandwiches and cakes and it was a very enjoyable day. Well done Guthrie House Care Home.

She was well looked after and loved by the excellent caring staff. Everyone of the staff were special. Mum died at the care home. All the family were there throughout the final week of her life having travelled from England and the USA to see her and spend time with her. The staff were amazing to us offering us food, drinks and comfort. We can't thank you enough. Look no further than this care home for your loved ones, you won't be disappointed! So grateful for the care they gave our Mum.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback on your experience at Guthrie House. We're so glad to hear that we were able to give you the best possible care experience in such a difficult time. Wishing you and your family all the best.

My mum has been in Guthrie House Care Home for 16 months and although she is unable to communicate verbally she always seems to still have her feistiness and character shining through due to the care and support she receives from all of the lovely staff at the home. Always feel walking in that any member of staff you encounter will speak or smile and I always do the same, Mum seems to be doing well, eating better than when at home.
Very pleased with my mother-in-law being cared for in Guthrie. My only concern is the difficulty understanding the carer's while taking a telephone call, the language barrier is very difficult, so it's very frustrating.

It was my mother's 99th birthday on the 9th of October. The staff were excellent, they went out of their way to make my mother and family happy. The staff are always helpful.

We love Guthrie House, my mum has been there for over two years now and we are delighted with how well looked after she is. The staff know her very well and they are always so lovely and friendly. They know all of the family and even my two small children look forward to going to see granny. They are always happy to have us and really support us having the best visit that we can. Even small token gestures like offering us drinks, biscuits etc to share mealtimes which is so precious these days. Every resident has a birthday cake made for their birthday too which is always a really special touch as well.
Into Guthrie House for Mum's birthday. Staff set up a room with some banners and we took in afternoon tea. It was a nice way of getting some family together - always pleases Mum to see the great-grandkids happy.
