Murrayfield House Care Home

My mother was a resident at Murrayfield House Care Home for just over two years. She received the most wonderful care which I cannot fault. All the staff treated her with the utmost dignity and respect. The nursing care was excellent and the dedication of the staff is to be commended. I received great support and care from the staff and I was always kept informed of Mum's health and needs.

Thank you to all the staff at Murrayfield Care Home for looking after my father so well. Our family has found all the staff we have met to be kind and caring. Everyone is extremely approachable, and nothing is too much trouble. If you have a query, it is easy to speak to a member of staff from the highest levels down. The home is immaculately clean, the environment is calm and homely, and the nursing care provided is amazing.

I found Murrayfield House Care Home a very interesting building where I had a fine and comfortable room. The staff were most friendly and helpful. I spent a good deal of time on my own but was lucky to have daily visits from my family. I did enjoy my time of two weeks there.

Good all round care taken with my Mother-in-law. Excellent service from all staff - from top to bottom.

My mother-in-law has been in Murrayfield House since August 2022 and I am very pleased with the care she receives. From the very first day, when they made her feel so welcome, it was clear how warm, caring and understanding the staff are. I am reluctant to name individuals in case I miss someone out, but thanks goes to the nursing staff who look after her needs and always keep us updated, the events staff who organise trips, entertainment and are generally just lovely to her, the care staff who always treat her with kindness and respect and the housekeeping staff who all play their part. It’s obvious from our visits how much the staff care for her and have taken time to get to know her on a personal level, even little touches like making sure her great-grandson’s cushion is in the right spot! We are also welcomed when we visit and made to feel like part of the community. It is a weight off our minds that she is safe and looked after in a supportive and caring environment.

Overall, I would highly recommend Murrayfield House in terms of the accommodation, facilities and above all, the standard of care provided.

Our friend is well looked after and is happy in her environment. The carers do all they can to make her comfortable and secure, despite fewer staff being around.

I am very happy with the care Dad receives. The staff are attentive to his needs and I feel that they know him well. Communication from care/nursing staff and management is excellent and very supportive. Thank you all for doing such a great job.

Thanks again and well recommended.

I cannot praise both the home and staff enough, the care given to my father really is outstanding. He is a very independent person and that is very much catered for while still ensuring he has the care needed. The food is excellent and the opportunity to dine there with your family member on occasion is much appreciated. The grounds around the home are magnificent and it is great to be able to go around them and the cafe in the main building is looking out over a lovely courtyard. Although he chooses not to socialise very much, the opportunity is there. It is also very easy for friends to take him out for lunch or even a visit to the theatre! I would highly recommend Murrayfield House for people who need this type of care and accommodation, it certainly provides peace of mind to relatives.

A well-run establishment nicely situated in a leafy suburb close to Edinburgh city centre. There is plenty of public transport nearly - buses and trains. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is good and there is a cafe on site in which to meet. Overall, a well-run ship as far as I can tell.

My relative has blossomed since her arrival at the home after months in hospital following a stroke. She was thin and unhappy. In the home she has responded to good, solicitous care, appetising food and arranged activities. She enjoys the company of other residents, sitting in the lounge in the sun reading and walking in the courtyard. The staff are always happy to assist her and us when we visit. Thanks are due to them all.

My stepmother had been a resident of Murrayfield House Care Home since December 2016. Throughout her time she was cared for in a most loving and dignified way. Her happiness was due to the hard work and dedication of all staff members and for that, her family will always be in their debt. Thank you.

My dad has now been receiving care at Murrayfield House for over 8 months. I am grateful to have found a care home with a good-sized room suitable for his complex staff led by calm, wise nurses and regular contact with other residents. As they have been getting to know my dad, they have become more able to understand his emotional needs as well as physical. His anxiety would be helped by staff coming into his room more frequently.

I am so happy with the care that my dad is receiving. I no longer have to worry and can enjoy this precious remaining time as his daughter, not his carer. My dad is clearly happy and frequently says it's a lovely place. All the staff are kind and cheery. I like the tone of time spent by residents in their rooms, supplemented as they wish by dining in a social setting and social activities. This feels to me to be like dignified normal life at home. Even if Dad is not able to join in with activities, there are frequently staff popping into his room.

Murrayfield House Care House is very suited to my husband's needs, he has Alzheimer's. The staff could not be more helpful, friendly and caring which makes it easier for me knowing that he is being so well cared for.

I am delighted with the care my mother (who suffers from vascular Alzheimers) is receiving at Murrayfield Care Home. The nurses and carers are so kind to her and to us as family. It is an enormous relief for me to know that she is receiving the best possible care. Thank you all.

Surroundings also very good.

My dad has recently moved into Murrayfield House Nursing Home. A much better transition than we hoped. We were all anxious. My dad is a very important part of our extended family. We know he needed more help and as he loves company and people, we hoped that he would enjoy and thrive on the extra stimulation. It has been hard on Mum. She misses him, however, everyone has been marvelous. Top class and caring. So caring to my mum, who feels very welcome each visit.

All the care staff have been exceptional in helping my aunt to settle into her new surroundings and making sure she had everything she needed to be as comfortable as possible.
