Review from Fiona H (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The sad reality that Mum now requires 24-hour care has been difficult to accept as it signifies the progression of her Alzheimer's disease. Choosing a care home for Mum was a huge decision - we naturally wanted the very best for her. My sister and I were immediately impressed when we came to view the
home. Brian was very helpful and understanding when he met with us. Compared to other homes we had considered, Murrayfield House was clearly far superior to them. We have been reassured that Mum is in the best environment for her needs. Staff are friendly and genuinely appear to care.

Would thoroughly recommend. My mum has been a resident here for 2 years. All staff go above and beyond their duty. There are activities there daily, if not more. There is also a cafe in the old building and my mum visits this on a daily basis.

Before becoming a resident the management team provided an excellent service showing me around Murrayfield House - the bedrooms, communal lounges and dining rooms and other facilities. Since becoming resident all the staff have been very friendly and the nursing and personal has been first class.

Mum came in for respite care and we were impressed so she is now a resident. She is settled and clearly well looked after. All staff are kind and helpful and any requests have been met. Her family can relax knowing she is well cared for. Would recommend to others and most importantly Mum is happy!

On visiting the care home it is a more like a hotel than a care home. Very clean and a nice happy atmosphere. Residents all seem happy and well cared for.
Activities are very good and keeps the residents active.

We have been very impressed with the standard of care provided. From the very first visit, all of the staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive. They took the time to really get to know my mum as an individual which made such a difference to her confidence. Overall, the residence has provided
us with peace of mind, during the transition and we are grateful for the compassion shown. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to others who are looking for high quality, person centred care. My mum is happy and settled.

Our experience of a two week respite stay at Murrayfield House was exceptional, from the booking process to the nuts and bolts of the stay itself, the whole team were kind, thoughtful and professional throughout. The experience, empathy and investment of the care staff in the comfort, well being and
enjoyment of residents really struck me, the ability to build rapport around complex care requirements is a huge selling point. Thank you to the while MH team.

My mother had the most wonderful respite stay at Murrayfield House in December. She reported to me that all the food was delicious and she had eaten every morsel! She enjoyed all the activities and there were carol singers who had visited too. Mum always says how much kindness is shown to her and how
good the care is when she stays. It provides us, her family, with great comfort to know how well cared for she is and how happy her visits to Murrayfield House make her. Thank you to all the staff.

My wife stayed for two weeks and had a great time, staff are not 100% but 200%, always have time to talk. Rooms spotless, always cheerful staff, when my wife was leaving all the staff said goodbye and gave her a hug, little things like that show you staff really do care. You feel assured your loved
one will get the best of care, keep up the good work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum had 2 weeks respite at Murrayfield. Start to finish was exceptional. Dealing with Head Office (Darlington) was superb, and prompt follow-up emails. Mum's arrival was straightforward, and she was settled late afternoon. Staff particularly attentive that first night. Mum was looked after so well.
Nothing was a problem - staff were patient and caring: helped with her daily exercises, kept track of medication, called GP if any queries. Helped at night-time when she needed and mornings when showering/dressing. Everyone was so pleasant, kind and gracious enough to spend time talking to Mum when she wanted. Meals were amazing! Room a decent size, great outlook onto trees and greenery (close to a nearby house whose owner practised bagpipes in the garden!) Mum made friends and loved having her hair done. She would happily return for more respite care. It's quite a weight off our minds for the future, so we're very happy to have chosen Murrayfield. Thank you to all the staff.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the staff, especially three particular ladies for their exceptional care of my parents, enabling them to live with dignity and providing them with exemplary care in their final years. As a family, you always made us welcome when we visited and you were excellent
in communicating with us, especially with regard to their health issues. We know that it takes much hard work by all of your team to make Murrayfield House a happy and dignified home for the residents where their interests and preferences always come first. It is greatly appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.677)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.677) out of 10 for Murrayfield House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.677 for Murrayfield House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.677
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Murrayfield House Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
