Thank you for the review. We have very dedicated staff who continues to go above and beyond for our residents and make everyone welcome and comfortable. Our staff will continue to deliver the best care with the support of all the relatives.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their kindness and support for both the family and my aunt, the standard of care is excellent.

Viewed Cathkin House Care Home over a year ago for respite, now my mother-in-law is a resident with a fantastic support team, I could name most of them but they all do a wonderful job, so patient and reassured, as a family we are more than happy to be part of the Cathkin House family.

My brother was in Cathkin House Care Home for palliative care for a short time, we cannot praise the management and care staff enough. My brother and the family were made to feel welcome from the start. All staff treated him and us with care and compassion at all times. The individual care he received was outstanding. It was a home from home for him. I would highly recommend this home for a loved one.
Hi Mina it was a pleasure to have your brother at Cathkin House. In this short space of time, he became part of the Cathkin House family and was very loved by each and every one. He will be greatly remembered by everyone who had the privilege to look after him. We wish you and the rest of the family well.
Every member of the staff here from management, nurses, carers, auxiliaries are...
Special thanks must go to the manager of the unit who made us feel like family.
Hi Frances, the team at Cathkin House could not thank you enough for this beautiful review. We wish Mum was still here with us but, as I mentioned before, we would like you to keep in touch with us as you are still part of the family here. We will continue to deliver the high standard of care.
Very well pleased with everything since my mum went into Cathkin House Care Home in January this year, 2021.

Thank you Sheila for the review. As we have reviewed our visits last week, you will be able to visit Mum more. We will keep in touch with all updates of the home via emails as usual. Staff are very pleased that Mum has settled and will continue to work together with you for the best of Mum's care.
After over a year, to hug and to hold her hand - it took me all day to get over the emotions. Your staff were wonderful and the visiting room was beautiful.

Thank you very much Sharyn for the review and your continued support to the home. We have a plan in place at revamping Arran unit to make it more person-centred. We are also looking at different improvements to the activity planner for the year ahead. Our weekly update to all relatives will continue.

My mum has been a resident with the care home for a few years now. The staff take great care of her needs and wellbeing, encouraging her to join in with others during events. When she is having an off day and feeling sad they help to cheer her up. I got a big welcome from staff during my first indoor visit since lockdown. It felt good being able to speak to Mum from inside the care home being able to chat to her without any noisy traffic. The staff are all fantastic looking after the residents during this worrying time.
Thank you Margaret for the review. As we have reviewed our visiting, you will be able to have more visits in a week now.
My mother was initially a resident in another care home. We were devastated at this closure. However, with the transfer of key staff, the transitions were seamless. We are delighted with how Mum is managed and cannot thank the staff highly enough for the exceptional care which is provided.

My helper is my son and carer and he is so pleased at the attention he gets from the staff.
Thank you Sarah for the review and feel free to approach management and staff to support you.
All of the staff are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. There is nothing that they will not do to help residents and family members. Pictures of activities are regularly posted on the internet to keep family members updated and newsletters are circulated.

Thank you Bob for the review. We now have an additional lifestyle coordinator and are looking at the activity planner for the year ahead by introducing more activities in the home.
My mother-in-law has been in the home since March 2019 and is looked after very well, which puts my wife's mind at rest and it is a lovely home and they are all very caring. So well done.

My mum has been in the care home since March 2019 and she is very happy here. She has improved well in her speech and is starting to eat. Her room is very nice and we have put some of her own things which makes her happy. All the staff are so caring and cheery and look after Mum well.

During the last two years of my mums life, she was treated with care and concern. Due to dementia, mum could be very difficult to manage but was treated with patience and respect at all times. Manager knew all patients well and was always willing to be available if required. Meals were of a very good standard and mum enjoyed her meals.
Marked improvement since new unit manager came in, organisation and day to day running.

I joined Cathkin House in February 2021 and I was encouraged to join Care UK as I had heard about the diversity of the company - the caring practice and the values of the company says everything.
I have been working in the care industry for 20 years now. I came to Scotland as a general registered nurse from Mauritius and with the support of my peers, I worked my way up the career ladder.
One of my biggest career highlights has been the awards I’ve won in my previous care homes. I’m proud to have won awards within the company, a Scottish care award as well as a community award for the care delivery in my home and engagement with the community.
As a home manager, you need to be a good listener, patient and compassionate towards both your residents and staff. I believe you lead by example rather than being the boss.
I am looking forward to promoting excellence in dementia in the home. I am also focusing on developing the person-centred care approach in the home, enablement, and implementing more meaningful activities.
