Last June when I was no longer able to cope on my own, I knew where I should go. My father-in-law had been a patient here for some time. The garden is exceptional, having been cultivated over many years with a sheltered area to the south with many seats. There are two handymen who will arrange any furniture you require and hanging family portraits! There is a hairdresser available, along with a chiropodist. I am still happy with my original choice.

Having had excellent NHS hospital treatment 14 months ago, I was worried as to where I would be moved for long-term care. The family looked around and luckily found me a room here. There was everything I needed and more. A team of physiotherapists are included and provide customised exercise and gym programmes for you. Three-course meals with choices for lunch and dinner, plus a glad of your favourite drink. Mealtimes were too early for me but I soon adapted. My progress was not good (heart failure) 14 months ago but thanks to the care from all who run the happy ship that is Strachan House, I am still able to write this note today.

My mother and a friend of mine have both been residents at Strachan. They have both been very happy there and have felt completely at home. The standard of care is excellent and delivered in a calm and compassionate manner. There is always something to keep their interest, be it activities, visitors, meal times, enjoying the beautiful surroundings, or relaxing in their room. The ethos is that it is the resident's home and the staff are there to help. I can recommend Strachan wholeheartedly.

Exception care of my mother through Covid with every effort made to keep relationship with her as close as regulations allowed. Move to memory lane handled exceptionally well and at right time. When she was very willing to accept the extra help and security it offered with the sun back out in the wonderful gardens for a visit which is great for both of us.

Given the events of the last 9 months and having seen how well this house is run, I felt I needed to write a review. Strachan House is such an oasis of calm in today's hectic and worrying world. The manager and her staff do amazing work, especially just now currently under such trying circumstances. The residents are really well cared for and the house is immaculate - it is such a kind, warm and welcoming environment. I would not hesitate to recommend Strachan House to anyone.

I have been a volunteer at Strachan House for numerous weeks and I have enjoyed my experience with the residents and staff. The activities team who I have been volunteering with have been wonderful and every week I have been coming to do my volunteering I have had a different activity. I do however enjoy playing scrabble with the residents. We have had a good laugh. I have a place at uni and am saddened by having to end my volunteering at Strachan House. I feel I was very welcomed and included to be such a great part of their team. I have truly loved my experience at Strachan House.

Strachan House has provided outstanding levels of care and assistance to my husband over the past two years. Leaving someone you love with complete strangers is desperately difficult, but since the first day, the staff have been exceptionally kind and thoughtful and Strachan has become his home. I've been pleased to note that every member of staff, at every level, has always been friendly and helpful to residents and visitors. Many of the staff go the extra mile for the residents, thinking of things that might interest them and taking the time to talk to them and spend time with them which means they don't feel lonely. The activities and physio classes are a huge part of the day at Strachan, with imaginative staff managing to find a long list of things for residents to participate in and enjoy. Lockdown has been very hard, but I've had no concerns about the continued care and compassion in Strachan and I'm greatly relieved that my husband is as safe as he can be there.

Very positive, professional initial contact with managers. Reassurance was given when needed and my husband treated with dignity. After the initial reluctance to be left, my husband settled in very well and was happy and occupied. It was a positive experience of respite care which we hope to repeat. Lovely to see how fond the staff were of my husband and how positively he talked when he came home.

I have worked in Strachan House since 2014. I first started as a carer before moving on to activities, which I really enjoyed. I started working in reception at the beginning of 2019 and with any new role you are forever learning. I believe I now have the best of both worlds as I work 3 days in reception and 2 days on activities. This allows me to spend some quality time with our residents and enhance their day-to-day lifestyle. I am passionate about my roles within the home.
Gary has been a member of the Strachan House family since 2022.
