I was wracked with guilt at the thought of having to place my aunt in care but, having done so, it has been the best thing I could've done for her. My aunt was always a fairly timid and nervy person but she has completely come out of her shell and doesn't even ask about her old house. She has made...
The staff in the home are fabulous across the board and seem to have taken her to their hearts. After what has been a difficult few years for my family, I have peace of mind that my aunt is safe, content and mentally stimulated. I can't recommend Buchanan House highly enough.

Mum had dementia and needed full time care, the staff were very attentitive to mum and made her feel welcome and most importantly safe. Cannot thank the staff enough for the care given to mum when she was there. She moved in last December and had a full and happy life where she was included in everything, and we were kept up to date on social media updates daily and we felt included in everything she did on a daily basis. Cannot recommend this home enough. They are amazin and it feels like a home and not a building where the residents live! Will miss my visits to mum as we loved our chats with the staff as well as other residents mum used to sit with, thank you all for your support when mum passed away.
Hi, thank you so much for your lovely review. I will pass on your kind words to all the team. We welcome all feedback which enables us to continue to review and improve the care that is delivered for our lovely residents living in Buchanan House. It was an honour and our pleasure to care for your mother. She is sadly missed
My mum lived in Buchanan House for 16 months and was very much loved and care for by all staff. When she moved in arrangements were put in place for all staff to receive training due to mum having a stoma bag allowing staff to support her to maintain independence around this until it became too...
I would have no hesitation in recommending Buchanan House to anyone looking to move a loved one into full time care.
Dear E and family, thank you so much for your kind words which I will pass onto the team. Here at Buchanan House we welcome all feedback. This helps us to continuously improve and maintain our standards of care. You late mother was a wonderful lady and it was a honour and privilege to care for her. She is missed every day . Kindest regards Kathleen
I feel I found the perfect home for my mum. The staff completely understand her personality and treat her with care, compassion, dignity and humour. Knowing there is medical staff on site has given our family a great sense of ease and we engage regularly and as needed with them. We are kept...
There is a very wide range of activities that can be accessed - again- catering for different interests. The staff also help my mum to keep in contact with family that live outside of Scotland which helps her to feel connected and secure.
Thank you so much for your review and kind words which I will pass onto the team. All feedback is greatly appreciated. We take every opportunity to continuously improve the service we provide for all our residents living in Buchanan House.

Our Mum was transferred from hospital to Buchanan House on Boxing Day, following a severe stroke in September. The transition could not have been smoother and the staff more welcoming to Mum and us from that day onwards. The care Mum received was exceptional and every member of staff went above...
In Mum's final hours and minutes the staff showed such compassion and sensitivity to her and to all of us as a family. We cannot recommend the home highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words which I will pass on to the team. We welcome all feedback as this helps us to improve the service we provide for our residents and their families. Your Mum was a lovely lady and I wish we could have had the privilege of caring for her longer. May she Rest in Peace. Thank you again, this means a lot.

Buchanan House has been amazing for my mum with advanced dementia. We kept mum at home as long as we could and when we couldn't do it anymore, Buchanan House was there for us. My mum is no longer verbal or mobile but is comfortable and clean and as happy as she can be. Our family couldn't be happier with the care they provide and the kindness of the staff is unmatched. We are just so appreciative.

My Dad was transferred from hospital to Buchanan House Care Home for 'end of life care' in July 2024. He died almost exactly a year later having celebrated his 90th birthday together with friends and family, gained weight due to the nutritious and delicious meals and snacks he was given, and after making friends with other residents and staff. He took part in all the seasonal celebrations including Valentines Day, St. Andrews Day and Burns Night, in talks, and sing-a-longs, was out in the mini-bus and with us in our car (with the help, and determination of the staff team). He listened to book readings and music of his choice in his own room and took a liking for 'balloon badminton and skittles in the lounge (as we did!) As a family we will always be grateful to all the staff who cared for and about him - they were proactive, compassionate and ready to think 'out of the box' when we approached them. But most of all we thank them for their kindness and warmth to Dad, and to us as a family.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to all the staff. It was an privilege and honour to care for your father. It was great to see him improve and enjoy life while he lived with us.

Thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to all the staff. It was an privilege and honour to care for your father. It was great to see him improve and enjoy life while he lived with us. He responded well to the care and support my nurses and care staff provided and had that extra special time with you and your family. He is missed by his new friends and of course the team. Thank you again for allowing us to care for your father. RIP
A very well-maintained care home, with welcoming and caring staff. The activities team are excellent, with a wide range of daily and sometimes evening events to entertain and engage residents. I would not hesitate to recommend this home.

I cannot thank every member of staff enough, they continually go above and beyond for the residents. My gran is always upto something, the staff treat them like their own family and I have not seen my gran this happy for a long time.

The care, love, compassion and kindness from Buchanan House has relieved so much of my worries about my gran and I couldn't be more grateful for them.

My sister was very reluctant to move in to Buchanan House but after 10 weeks of being a temporary resident she was very happy that her residence should become permanent.As a family we have seen a big change be in her level of contentment which is undoubtedly due to her surroundings and the care she is receiving.
