After a sudden bereavement my sister who has Multiple Sclerosis had to find suitable accommodation to meet her needs. She moved into Applecross in February and has settled in very well. In her own words she feels safe and cared for. The staff have been very attentive and caring and she has also got to know other residents and has been taking part in activities. It is a great relief for us to know she is happy in her new accommodation and that she feels safe and comfortable whilst having the opportunity to take part in activities and outings. Her room is comfortable and we have been able to make it feel homely.
Our brother has complex and occasionally challenging care needs. It was quite difficult to find a suitable home for him when he could no longer look after himself. After searching the greater Glasgow area, including visiting and rejecting some other nursing homes, we feel we hit the jackpot with...
We are confident that he benefits from all the care that he needs, he is absolutely in the best place for him, and there's always plenty going on if he wishes to participate. We can't thank the staff enough for taking such good care of him!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that you feel your brother is well cared for and supported at Applecross. Your appreciation means a lot to our team and we'll be sure to share your comments with them.

Before my son came here 13 years ago I went to various care homes and found Applecross to be superior to any other. Over the years it has gotten even better. The staff are wonderful, activities second to none and the management very approachable. Highly recommend this nursing home.

The staff are fantastic, nothing is a problem. The care my 89-year-old Mum has been receiving I really can't fault, cannot fault anyone since the day my mum arrived. Any time family need anything - tea or something to eat they are always there to support the family as much as they are my mum.

Friendly staff. Informal approach for visitors ie I can come and go as I please. No overly restrictive rules. Management listens to and reacts to concerns.

My sister moved into Applecross in March this year. Instantly I knew we had made the right decision, the staff were all welcoming and friendly. My sister has had excellent care since being here and as a family, we have felt included in decisions around her care. We have had a 1-month and 6-month review in which we were able to look at her care plans that were in place and add to these. Overall we are very happy with the care she receives here.
Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear you feel welcomed and involved in your sister's care. It's our goal to make sure every resident and family feels supported and we're happy to know you're pleased with her care. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.

He needs 24/7 nursing care following a massive stroke which has left him paralysed down one side and with severe difficulty speaking. He is 'only' 64 years old and I found many Homes would not accept someone of that age. The staff are kind, caring and dedicated. They persevered with many issues until he eventually settled in. We all work together to ensure he gets the best care possible. They are open and honest, and they let me know when there are problems, which are inevitable, but means I can trust their care and decision-making. The staff work as a team and go the extra mile to bring interest and entertainment to make it a happy place to live. The catering staff do a brilliant job with good food and delicious cakes! Thanks to all of you for everything you do.
Hi Elaine, thank you so much for your kind words. I'll make sure to share your message with our team, they'll be thrilled to hear it! He's a pleasure to look after, and we really appreciate your support in his care. Working together with you helps us provide the best possible care. Thanks again!
I recently had to make the most difficult decision imaginable, to put my husband into full-time care. This situation could not have been more devastating for me, our extended family or friends. We always hoped he would recover sufficiently from his brain injury that at some point we could take him...
The nursing, auxiliary, domestic, maintenance, reception, kitchen staff and all other departments we've been in contact with, have been nothing but professional and exceptionally kind. Since moving to Applecross, what we see is great care being given with the utmost respect. My husband has settled in well very quickly, and the staff have also shown genuine concern for me. They have made an exceptionally difficult time more bearable, we are very grateful to all.
Hi Katrina, thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate your feedback and will pass on all your comments to the staff. Thank you again.
I feel my husband is settled and well cared for by all staff within Applecross. They are always very professional in their roles and at times go above and beyond. When I go visit they always ask who I am and make me feel very welcome.
