My mum is safe and well cared for in Ailsa Craig. The staff are kind and caring. They regularly ask for feedback and do take this onboard. It is lovely that they have family events which the whole family can attend

The service my wife is receiving is informed, caring and friendly. The atmosphere of the home is welcoming, and the residents are encouraged to sit out in the lovely gardens when the weather is good. They also have a mini-bus for outings, a visiting hairdresser and podiatrist. There is a menu...
Thank you all at Ailsa Craig for your care and concern.
I would like to say that the service my brother is receiving is the best and very professional. I would also like to mention the staff which I find extremely professional and friendly I couldn't ask for anything more.

Every single staff member is just so understanding, they listen, nothing is a bother, anything we ask, they work very hard and still have time to have such a caring manner. It is so reassuring for us. The nurses are there, and each and every one are so so nice....

I have been very happy with the way my mum has been treated in the Home. The staff treat her with dignity and care. Staff are friendly. The activity staff organise events and organised video calls for me when I was out the country allowing me to keep in touch with my mum.

From the moment she arrived, the staff made her feel completely at home. They treated her with dignity, warmth, and genuine compassion, not just as a resident but as a person who mattered. That meant more to us as a family than words can say.
The kindness, patience, and compassion shown by every member of staff is second to none. They don't just care for residents - they genuinely care about them, and it shows in everything they do
There were always regular activities, and my mum particularly enjoyed the pamper sessions and having her hair done regularly by the hairdresser - those little touches helped her feel like herself and brought her real comfort and happiness.
During an incredibly difficult time for our family, the support and care shown by the staff was unwavering, thank you from Donna and Lynne
The resident has been here over 2 months. It would be much safer and practical if the toilets in the room had a sink in them. It causes safety issues for this particular resident. Otherwise, the room is fine. Staff are approachable, friendly and happy to discuss concerns etc. There are activities...

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We appreciate your comments and would be happy to discuss these further if you would like to contact the home manager at Ailsa Craig Care Home.
When I have approached staff for various reasons regarding my sister the staff have tried to put my mind at ease.

The level of gratitude our family feel is hard to put into words but it helped us through some difficult days.
Mum has been in Alisa Craig for a few months now. She seems settled and happy. The staff have been responsive to any questions we have had. Mums care and wellbeing needs seem well cater for and as a family we feel we have peace of mind.

Salt, pepper, sugar, condiments etc to get more variety, glasses and cutlery.
Food quantities and selection all over the place, i.e. more sausages for 15 people at breakfast time, rolls i.e may be only between 1-4 (max).
Useful for my own use. Yes, I would stay here again.

From the moment she climbed aboard, it was clear from her beautiful pictures this wasn't just a ride - it was an event. With the breeze in her hair and a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she was pedalled through the streets of Glasgow, waving to passersby like royalty on parade.
The tricycle looked stable, comfortable, and surprisingly stylish - a perfect fit for a sprightly nonagenarian with flair. She cruised around the city, laughter echoing off the buildings reminiscing of days gone by and proving that joy knows no age limit.
Final verdict: 10 out of 10 Highly recommend for anyone aged 8 or 98. Fun, freedom, and a fresh reminder that life's little thrills are always within reach - one pedal at a time.
The family really appreciate the team at Alisa Craig for giving Isa this wonderful opportunity.
We are happy with the care my mother receives from the staff at Ailsa Craig. Overall my mother seems happy. The staff are caring and treat my mother with dignity and respect. The team of staff are key to this nursing home being good.

My mother was a resident at Ailsa Craig in Millport House from January 2023 until she passed away in April 2025. Initially we were concerned about her being placed there by social services because it was so far from her home but it turned out to be the best possible decision. The home was...
I can honestly say that if I ever need to go into a care home I would be very happy to end up in Ailsa Craig!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our home at this difficult time, please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family. We will ensure your kind words are shared with the team. Thank you again for your review
