Overall, my fellow Power of Attorney and I are happy with the care our resident is having at Buchanan House. She really requires only a little personal care and sometimes we are concerned this is not being done. Any health issues which arise are dealt with very quickly and we are kept informed.
Lately, we have been informed about the heating in our resident's room and although the staff have been trying to solve this issue, it has culminated in a change of bedroom. We are satisfied with this result and hope the new room will be ready soon. In general, we find the staff attentive, obliging and supportive.
Last time hubby was in for respite they hadn't packed his hearing aids, and I had to go back for them, which I wasn't too happy about as it's a half hour drive each way and I had to leave my husband to go and get them. I've just picked him up from the second time bring in respite, and several items...
Last time hubby was in for respite they hadn't packed his hearing aids, and I had to go back for them, which I wasn't too happy about as it's a half hour drive each way and I had to leave my husband to go and get them. I've just picked him up from the second time bring in respite, and several items of clothing are missing as well as his urine bottle and basket it sits in. Since I got back I have phoned and phoned but no one answers. Not impressed!
Thank you for your comments, we welcome all feedback that will help us continue to improve our services.

Thank you for your comments, we welcome all feedback that will help us continue to improve our services.
We are so sorry about the hearing aids that you had to travel back to the home to pick up. During your husband’s second respite stay, the urine bottle and basket were in the room beside him and not packed as the carer believed they belonged to the home. We believe there were some items of clothing in the laundry that weren’t ready for your departure, of which have now been sent to your home address.
We can only apologise for nobody answering the telephone; our weekend Receptionist was on Annual Leave so the response would not have been as prompt as usual where there is normally somebody available to answer all calls quickly and effectively.
If there is anything you would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact customercare@brighterkind.com, or pop into our home anytime, my door is always open. Donna Walker, Home Manager

Care home common areas are maintained to a good standard and high level of cleanliness. Residents rooms are homely but my mother's toilet could do with some decorative attention. Staff are attentive and show compassion. There is no such thing as a perfect care home but Buchanan Home ticks many of the boxes.

My mother became resident in the care home in February 2016. She seemed happy well fed and enjoyed the company of other residents and staff. Unfortunately, she suffered a severe stroke in October. After six weeks she was returned to the home severely disabled, bedridden and fed by a tube. The care and attention from the staff has been excellent and they ensure that she is kept very comfortable.
My wife is in on a temporary basis. The staff are very attentive to our needs and cheery with it. The premises are open and airy and the private room is very comfortable. My wife has adapted to the place better than I thought. All is satisfactory.

An excellent facility that provides a high standard of care. Some areas requiring a degree of an upgrade (ongoing) but this is more than compensated for by excellent staff. Extremely clean; excellent and reliable laundry service; reasonable activities; very good service (dentist, doctor, optician etc) and great staff who interact with residents and respect their dignity.
As I only had six days in the home I am unable to give a great deal of information. However, I can only say that I was made very welcome and all the staff very helpful.

The staff try their best. It is hard living with others in a group, but it is good to have company and someone to look out for you, they deserve a reward.
