Millbrae Care Home has a Review Score of 8.3 (8.292) out of 10, based on 2 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Millbrae Care Home has 19 reviews.
Highly recommend. Staff marvellous particularly the activities staff. Big shout out for Alice. You are a star. Food is excellent and cleaning scrupulous. Only wee issue is the wall paper. My mother does not like it. However everything and everyone else there is splendid.
Thank you so much for your review, I will ensure your praise is passed on to our staff, and I will look at options for your mum to be happy with her decoration.
Mother-in-law has been a resident for over 3 months now very happy with the care she is receiving. The staff are very welcoming and approachable. If we have any issues they will do their best to resolve it.
My mum is known for calling a spade a spade, and as her dementia progresses, she has less and less of a filter. So the fact that she raves about the staff and food every time we visit, shows what a good job all the staff are doing the kitchen staff, to the maintenance staff, through to the carers and the nurses.
Millbrae wasn't our first choice of home, but due to Mum being an emergency admission, we were offered Millbrae. I'm so thankful and grateful that we were.
All of the needs of both my parents are met, and my sister and I couldn't be happier.
This is a home staffed by local people who understand the needs, moods, foibles and backgrounds of its residents, ie. hard working men and women from a working class background.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments. We will pass this on to our team. Kind regards.
At first when Mum went into Millbrae in June 2023. We felt the place was good, activities were very very good although Mum said they did nothing, but the pictures were there to prove her enjoyment. As the weeks passed we started seeing things that weren't quite right. The staff didn't seem so attentive and the laundry was terrible, nothing seemed to be ironed. Although my wife suspected they were put into the dryer too long. My mother didn't want her clothes going to the laundry and rather reluctantly I agreed to family taking it home for washing. This fee is included in her bill! Over the past 4-6 weeks things have changed tremendously since new staff have been appointed we still take Mum's washing home.
Thank you for your review. I will pass this on to our team. Kind regards.
Throughout our experience, we have found the staff extremely friendly and helpful whilst providing a high standard of patient care for my mum.
My mum has settled in very well and we can see this in her reaction when the staff interact with her. Overall we are extremely satisfied with the care my mum is receiving.
My dad is well looked after, he didn't want to be here at first but he has now settled in and finds the staff very friendly and helpful. He has good banter with all staff and is settling in due to the effort all the staff have made.
Thank you for your review. I will pass this on to the staff team.
Kind regards
My dad has been treated with care and respect by the care manager and staff since going into the home. There is always somebody there to answer any concerns I have regarding my dad. Myself and my family have peace of mind knowing my dad is being looked after so well.
Many thanks.
The home is very well run. The staff are very pleasant and caring. Nothing seems to be a bother to them and will help in any way they can.
Hi John
Thank you for your positive review, I will pass this onto the staff team.
Thank youPam
Some staff are really friendly and caring, some are not.
I'm extremely happy with the care that my mum is receiving. All the staff are very focused and have a very good relationship with my mum. Staff are very approachable and keep the family up-to-date with her care. Ultimately my mum is content and her face lights up when the staff talk to her.
Hi Sharon, Thank you for your lovely feedback, I will share this with the staff team.
Mum, has been a resident of Millbrae now for a few months and while it has been a slow process she improves daily. The staff are wonderful, attentive and treat Mum like family. The manager is always available and communicates with me regularly. Mum loves the food and has a great appetite again. She is joining in the recreational games and activities more and more. She enjoys time in the garden, sing alongs and the bingo. She looks forward to when more visitors are allowed and she can see her nieces, nephews and friends.
I would highly recommend Millbrae Care Home. Thank you to all the staff.
Thanks for your feedback. It's been great getting to know you and your mum, even though you are on the other side of the world.
My experience with Millbrae Care Home has been a very positive one. The staff are very friendly and helpful and very caring towards the residents. The home is very clean and has a good atmosphere. My mum is being very well looked after and gets on well with everyone, she has a nice comfortable room where she likes to go for a wee afternoon nap in her comfy bed.
My Aunt has been a resident in Millbrae Care Home since April 2019. Over the past 18 months, the staff have kept me informed of how my Aunt is keeping - I have weekly catchups the team. Also Adhoc contact from the Care Home if additional Medications are required eg Antibiotics, Flu Jab, etc. The staff are caring, compassionate and very professional and deliver an extremely high level of care. In addition to this, the staff keep the residents' spirits high by going that extra mile to celebrate birthdays, special occasions, holidays and decorate the Home accordingly. Most of all the staff treat the residents with respect. We can't thank the team enough for everything they do (especially in the current circumstances), keep up the fantastic work.
The care home staff are professional and extremely welcoming. We have always had open channels of communication with them and especially so since March. The staff stimulate their residents and treat them with respect as well as good humour. Our loved one had a special birthday in August and they went over and above for her to make sure she was feeling loved and special. We are very happy with the management, staff and care.
Due to Covid-19 we have been unable to visit inside the nursing home for over six months. Prior to this, we have had no complaints regarding the care of my mother, with accommodation, food, staff and general care being excellent and management being easily accessible and good. Hence as far as we are aware, my mother has been well looked after, without us seeing inside her room for the past six months during Covid-19 lockdown.
This care home has looked after my mum for several years, years she would not have had if been still living at home. She has been treated well with care and compassion, even when her mood could be challenging. I can't thank the staff enough for all the work they have also done to keep the home clean of covid19. Thanks, is not even enough.
The standards at Millbrae have definitely improved over the last few months. Not only have the communal areas been made more homely and inviting, but nursing and caring staff are working hard with residents and families to improve the home. One area which still requires improvement is the stimulation and entertainment for residents, but a new activities person has been appointed so I hope we will see a difference over the next few months.
Thank you for your feedback - it is appreciated.
I am more than happy with the high standard of care my mum receives. All her needs are dealt with on a day to day basis. I have built up a good relationship with the management and staff over this time. They look after her in a very personal and dignified manner for which I am grateful. She has been a resident for over two years now and she is happy in herself. That speaks volumes.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It is very much appreciated by all staff at Millbrae Care Home, who strive to deliver great care.
My mum has been a resident since April this year. I have always found the staff approachable and helpful. They are very patient and caring towards the residents. If I have asked for anything to be done or changed it has happened without issue. Millbrae is always a clean and safe environment. I would have no hesitation recommending Millbrae to anyone looking for a care home.

I believe that all residents in our care should receive the highest standard of care, and although it is not their own home, it should be as homely and as close to their own home as possible. Our residents' lives should be enjoyed as much as possible in whatever way they choose.
Outside of work, I have 3 grown-up children, 2 young step-children, and 3 grandchildren, with a 4th due at the end of the year. I love travelling and visiting new places

I have been a registered general nurse for 16 years. I have worked in my role at Millbrae since November 2025, but I had previously worked in Millbrae for many years as an agency nurse.
I am a busy mum to 4 children and a stepson. I also have 3 chihuahuas who are like my children.
Outside of work, I enjoy family time, camping trips, going to the gym and rare moments of peace and quiet.

I have worked at Millbrae for 11 and a half years in the role of staff nurse.
My hobbies include music, going to concerts, theatre and a good sing-along. I also love to travel abroad and enjoy different foods from around the world

I joined the company in 2018, transitioning from a background in dementia care to become an activity coordinator. I have an innovative mindset and an exceptional sense of humour. I have introduced person-centred activities across the company and led a team of activity coordinators.
I have gained the People's Champion Award and an honourable recognition from the Scottish Parliament.
I have also embraced the role of Dementia and Wellbeing manager, supporting the wellbeing of staff, residents and their families. I am always approachable and available for a chat, offering advice or simply lending an empathetic ear. I ensure activities remain person-centred, allowing individuals to express themselves freely.

I am 34 years old, and I am the head chef for both Woodside and Millbrae Care Homes. I have been a chef for 17 years, and good, healthy, nutritious food for our residents is important to me. I strive to use good-quality ingredients and ensure our residents enjoy their food.
In my spare time, I enjoy Muay Thai and enjoy camping and fishing.
