Murrayfield House Care Home

Murrayfield House Care Home gives out the feeling of friendliness and care. The staff are cheerful and interested in visitors in a genuine way. The care home is furnished with great care in their choice of local pictures and a good mixture of genuine old masters paintings. The dining area for the residents is set out in small groups of 4 or 5 people and beautifully with linen tablecloths and large linen napkins. There is a really small forest area with adequate paths for walking. There is a regular chance for discussion and feedback between staff and residents. An extensive programme of activities for all the residents, and also a visiting dog or other animals, for those that want it. The residents also enjoy the visits from 3 to 5year old children from the local school and at other times the visits from 15-year- old children from the same school. We all enjoy some superb musical entertainment from top-class musicians.

Very friendly staff, very caring and loving. They can't do enough for us all. A very clean home also, a perfect home for my much-loved friend.

Mum is very happy here.

Carers, staff and management all go the extra mile.

The nursing staff were extremely helpful, practical and attentive and sensitive to the needs of my Mother in Law. The administrative staff were efficient and professional.

I was also pleased with the way staff communicated with the family.

Knowing that my aunt is benefitting from the best care possible for the multiple health conditions she suffers from, is truly a Godsend and provides peace of mind knowing how well she is being cared for.

In the morning the staff should not open the door, switch on the light and demand the resident gets up straight away and choose their clothes. When being showered and then cleaning her teeth she is given a cup to spit in and clean her brush. Also given a flannel with old water to wash her face. Not a good enough start to the day.

Staff reliable, friendly, approachable. Safe, secure environment.

Throughout her stay, until she died in January 2019. The care given to my wife was faultless. The carers carried out their professional duties in a way which showed their care for her and an individual. She could not have been in better hands and the care which all the staff gave to her was generously extended to me and our family.

I cannot praise this Care Home highly enough. My mother has been incredibly well looked after during her time there. Although she is now bed-bound, until recently she has engaged with the staff and other residents and participated fully in activities. The food is great and the rooms are lovely. The place and the staff are so welcoming and treat us all as part of the family.

My mum has been very well looked after for the last two years in Murrayfield House. The staff are very attentive and caring. Any problems with her have been attended to immediately with great success.

My only misgiving is that she appears to be unable or unwilling to enter into any spirit of the activities and is therefore not getting the benefit of the care home experience.

Attention state of health; Sensible.

I have been visited Murrayfield House quite frequently in the past few months and would like to say how lovely it is. All the staff are so caring and friendly, it is very comforting. My cousin has loving, caring people to look after him.

My mother was a resident at Murrayfield House for 1 year 8 months. The staff were kind and helped her settle and despite her many demands for help (through her family) they looked after her well and the nursing staff managed her sodium level for the first time in many years. She didn't want to be there but in the circumstances, it was the best choice and we would choose the same home again if we had her time over. She lived with dignity to the end.

The care my mother receives is extremely good and the staff are very caring, professional and friendly. My mother is much happier since her move to the care home as she has people to talk to. There are interesting and appropriate activities arranged. She is happy with her room there and enjoys the meals.

Nice staff. Meals are good but sometimes meat can be a bit tough. Love the pet therapy. I like that I am escorted to appointments.

Very warm and comfortable environment. Staff are exceptional.

Although my mum was set against going into a nursing home, she is now settled, enjoys the care and company and indeed has said after an outing 'home again' which are words I never thought I'd hear!
