My mother has been a resident at Buchanan Lodge Care Home for over a year now and we as a family have always found the home and staff to be very welcoming. One of the first things that we noticed - or should I say did not notice was the normal smell of urine that I have come to expect when visiting care homes as a contractor. We found that this was a welcome item that was missing and it has continued like this throughout mums stay (apart from times when obviously residents are being taken to toilets or first thing in the morning.)
The home has recently been redecorated with new chairs in the general lounge area. The staff are all very friendly and approachable and treat the residents with dignity - even when being subjected to some unfriendly moves from some residents at times.With regards to costs, we find the costs quite steep but on a par with most other local homes.
Buchannan lodge has been a great home for my sister. Plenty of daily activities, hairdresser on a Wednesday and weekly outings. The staff are lovely and the activities coordinator is great. The only downside is the rooms which are in need of an overhaul. Would recommend to friends and family.

I cannot fault the staff. They are brilliant with my Dad and have so much patience. His room is poor as this needs redecorated but I believe this is happening soon. He is very relaxed and happy there and I know he is being taken care of very well which puts my mind at ease. Nearly £3000 a month...

I consider that the £1000 room and nursing fees should cover any "back office" expenses.

Thank you for your feedback, which has helped us change our systems to make sure every family is aware and understands the Terms & Conditions of Residency before admission. We are very grateful that you raised this with us.
The home provides a safe, caring environment for my mum. The home is always clean and the staff friendly, efficient and helpful. When mum took ill, the quick action of the staff contributed to Mum receiving life-saving treatment. During convalescence, the staff have been very supportive and caring.

I have no hesitation in recommending Buchanan Lodge Care Home as an excellent care provider.
Laundry could be organised a bit better, other than that, my mother is looked after 24/7 which I know we would not manage at home.

Thank you for your lovely comments about our home. The comments you have made about our laundry have been passed back to the home so that we can work at improving our service in this area. It's really good to hear that you find our staff committed and the home warm and friendly. We really appreciate having the feedback.

I found staff at this care home caring compassionate and extremely competent. They cared for my cousin during a very difficult period and were thoroughly professional throughout. I would go so far as to say they went that extra mile that made an enormous difference to the quality of life my cousin experienced. Comfortable and homely surroundings with varied menu offerings as well as many extras included. The activities coordinator is a treasure but all staff played their role to the highest standards. Have no hesitation in recommending this to others.

I joined Buchanan Lodge in 2024 after taking some time away from working to raise my 2 boys.
My previous work experience was in the legal sector, but I wanted a change, and care had always interested me.
I took the initiative to complete some courses and training before applying for the role to help me provide the best care I can.
I love working with the residents, providing person-centred care, and helping to put a smile on their faces.
