It has been a very good choice for both my mum and dad. The care is excellent and the activities are always creative. Dad is as happy as he can be although he wanted to stay at home. This is the next best thing. The Summer Garden party was great.

This being my first visit to my Mum since arriving here. My first impression is good. Staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Most important is that my Mum likes the staff and the home as well. Showers in the resident's rooms would make the whole experience much better for residents.

The care I received from all staff was exemplary. I was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The food was excellent, plentiful and nutritious - if the choices did not appeal, chef would willingly make something different. The entertainments provided for residents and their families were well received and enjoyed by all. The whole package was expertly run by an extremely capable management team. Buchanan House should be held up as a model for care homes throughout the country to aspire to.

The latter comment only refers to the amount of time we see management staff which is minimal and to be expected (it is not a criticism).

Buchanan House is very family friendly, there are activities residents and family can enjoy. My dad needed nursing care and I could not fault the care and attention Dad gets. Food is also very good, with great choice. Carers are kind and thoughtful and took the time to get to know Dad.

A really good place of care which has helped my dad come back to health and good spirits after the death of my mum, and his partner of over 60 years. He is well-nourished, well cared for and in good health mentally, as well as physically. His regular health checks have helped him with dentistry and his hearing, which gives him more contact with people around him. And he has the social life of the home.
