You're welcomed in to the home, the carers work so hard for everyone and do a great job.
Thank you for taking the time to review the care and support provided to your mum, Its great to hear how you are seeing the dedication provided by the team. I will ensure your review is shared within the service.
My brother moved in September & he has settled in brilliantly & staff are really great with him too.. he says he loves it.. I am happy that he's happy & no more stress so thank you to all the staff for the support. The regional manager came and assessed my brother on a Sunday to ensure he had the place. If I could give 100 stars I would. It's clean and lots of entertainment and activity including bonfire night with a guy on the fire
Thank you so much for your kind words. Its a pleasure caring for your relative, I'm delighted we have exceeded the expectations of care received.
When mum first came into Cardonald Care Home, she was very poorly. The staff were very good and mum took ill and the staff probably saved her life that night! Mum ended up in hospital in a very bad way, food had gone down the wrong way, she was found in her bed like this and thats why I get scared fo mum going to bed after her dinner. Theres not been any activities since April that I'm aware of until recently. Some of the staff are great at making mum laugh.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. Our staff pride themselves on delivery quality of care and support. We now have an activity co-ordinator who is delivering person centred activities, with lots of entertainment that we would encourage you to join. It pleasing to note our staff also entertain mum.
I am so pleased I chose Cardonald Care home for my mum. After having a terrible experience with my mums previous care home I can honestly say I wish I moved my mum to Cardonald sooner. The care home manager is fantastic so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The whole team are lovely. My mum has only been in the home for 10 days but this place has a professional, transparent and friendly feeling when you walk in which instantly puts you at ease. My mums mood has lifted since she been here and she looks great every time I go to see her. Alzheimer's is an awful condition but I leave Cardonald feeling happy knowing my mum is safe & well looked after. I'm no longer sitting in a care home car park crying because this place doesn't have that sad feeling, the staff go out their way to make things special for the residents. The staff here are so knowledgeable and respectful, I have no regrets moving my mum & I am so happy she is liking her new home. Well done and the team.
The staff in the care home are so nice, very helpful, obliging, kind. They have all been great to my father and us. The process of getting my father here has been very difficult and the staff here have made us feel very reassured and we know my dad is safe. We can call for anything and nothing is a bother to them. We are very grateful. My only complaint is the cost. Its absolutely shocking that a self fundor pays more.
Mum was admitted to this care home just before Christmas, we were cautious and worried that she wouldn't settle, however the manager was lovely, she made us all feel so welcome. The parties were constant and they even had a New Year's Day party. It's was open for everyone for Christmas and New Years lunch.
An amazing place to be and I would have no hesitation on recommending.
Thank you for your review, this will be shared with our team. We pride ourselves on being open with care and by family/friend participation we can create a homely environment. We are delighted you joined us for Christmas and New Years Day and that you all had a great time. Its great to see mum has...
My great aunt has been in Cardonald Care Home since November 2024. At first, I was nervous of her settling in. I needn't have worried as due to the fantastic staff she felt at home immediately. The Christmas and New Year parties helped us all to get to know everyone in the home and enjoy the fun.
Thank you for taking the time to review the service, our aim is to ensure each and every person who lives here has a good quality of life. We are delighted to inform you that an activity coordinator is in place and a vast program of activity is planned that will suit everyone. I will share our feedback with our staff team. Once again thank you for your for your feedback.
Absolutely delighted with the care my wife receives in this care home. The new manager is a lovely, kind lady who has been there, from my wife coming in, and she along with all staff know what my wife likes and dislikes. I felt guilty when my wife went into care and now I'm happy I made that choice as she is now back to her lovely self and I can't praise you all enough. Thank you with all my heart.
Thank you for your kind words, we will share this with our care team. Silverline care and Cardonald Care Home, pride themselves on a holistic approach to care. We are delighted to read you have experienced this.
My brother entered the care home in August.
I cannot praise the staff enough, they are superb, very caring, polite and friendly. They got to know my brother and his manners immediately.
This helped my brother to settle into the home very very quickly and he seems happy to be there which is the prime consideration.
We, as visitors, are always made welcome and encouraged to personalise my brother's room in any way we feel.
The home excels in staff/resident relationships, hygiene, cleanliness, feedback to relatives. Since my brother moved in, I cannot pinpoint a negative experience.
Thank you for your very kinds words, I will share this with our team. At Cardonald Care Home we pride ourselves on in delivering a person centred, holistic approach to care. We are happy to hear this to be your experience.
My relative has now been in Cardonald Care Home for a few months, today she returned from hospital back to the home. The staff are always amazing, updates on phone and always provide you with information regarding your relative when entering the home to visit. Staff work really hard, very friendly and caring. They do amazing job and as a family we appreciate the care they provide. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time review our team, I will share your kind words with them. We are delighted to hear of the positive experience you and your relative have received as this is always our expected standard.
Mum moved into Cardonald Care Home in May 2022 as her dementia had really progressed.
My mum couldn't be happier in the care home; she always has a smile. The staff continue to provide a friendly and homely atmosphere. It's not just the carers that make Mum's life better, but all staff from the kitchen, domiciliary, office staff/management, etc.
As a family, we could not be happier with our choice of care home.
The staff are amazing with my mum. They treat my mum as if she is their own and we are extremely grateful for the care and respect shown by the entire staff within the home. It gives us comfort that when we can’t be with our mum she is well cared for.
No problems. I've found all the staff very helpful.
My husband can be a bit moody but staff know his ways now, coaxing him along.
I'm thankful he is much more settled than at first. He enjoys listening to his favourite singer, he aslo sings along much to the delight of everyone.
As well as caring for the residents, the staff care for the relatives too. A hug to comfort and even a shoulder to cry on when things get tough.
The home has acquired a new activities person and is now in situ and what a difference this has made to the residents.
I would recommend this home to anybody, it has a lovely feel to it.
She will be 101 on 29th May and the staff are organising a wee party for her which is wonderful.
I can’t thank everyone enough.
Mum's care needs were very complex due to her Frontal Temporal Lobe Dementia. Her care was simply outstanding right from the outset.
Mum had her own little room which we furnished with her own little comforts and many family photos. Mum was very happy and enjoyed all the activities offered in the home. She was always immaculate, well groomed, fed and hydrated. We, as a family, were always made to feel extremely welcomed by the staff who went out of their way to not only get to know my mum but also kept a wee eye on my Dad who visited Mum daily.
During the period of End of Life Care, the staff showed love, compassion and support to all of us as a family.
We will never forget their kindness.
On behalf of the manager and the fantastic team at Cardonald, thank you very much for your kind words. It was a privilege to care for your mum.
I cannot speak highly enough about the care my wife has received at Cardonald Care Home. The attention she is given means I can relax knowing she is in the best hands. We were so grateful and lucky to get a place there. We had held off until a place there was available as the facilities and care given are second to none and now she is there, it has been wonderful. My thanks to the staff who are great. My wife loves it there and with her dementia, it's important she feels comfortable. Thanks a million.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It is very much appreciated.
Mum has only been in Cardonald for a few weeks. She requires nursing care. She is mentally still very sharp - the deterioration in her health is purely physical and she is now bed-bound. It's early days, but I have already been very impressed with the standard of care at Cardonald. The staff - and there always seem to be plenty around - are very kind, patient, organised and experienced. The home manager arranged for Mum's room to be redecorated in advance of her arrival, and the room looks very nice. Mum is enjoying her food there. She has a TV in her room. Overall, I think this is a good place for her. The home itself is a relatively small one compared to others, and I think this is an advantage. The whole place feels like a sort of family. As I say, it's early days, but at this stage, I'm very happy to recommend Cardonald to others.
Thank you very much for this review. It is very much appreciated.
I have found Mother has come on a great deal since moving into this home.
