Thank you for taking the time to give us your review. It's lovely to hear that the staff go above and beyond, and that your father is made to feel welcomed, comfortable, and at home. We'll be sure to pass on your review to the team at Antiquary, thank you again.
The care home is clean, well maintained, and caters well for my fathers condition. Staff have been friendly, helpful and very sociable, and easy to approach. My father appears to be settled and is more alert and is now responding more than when he was in hospital.

Based on my interaction with Sarah of Antiquary House - by telephone, in person at my boyfriends home and also in the care home - I have been wholly impressed with the transparency.proactiveness/quick communication/sincerety which comes across from the manager. Importantly, this is demonstrated in the interactions which I have seen with staff to residents and in the direct case of my boyfriend. What is hugely important is the appearance of staff & the manager to deal with my boyfriend's diagnosis of Huntington's disease (of 14 years now) as well as the engagement with the HD advisor who is also visible in communication with Antiquary House.

My brother and I visited 15 nursing homes in the Dundee, Abroath area. My mother broke both of her knees and will not walk again. We needed some place that would look after her 24/7. The manager is first class. Mum moved into Antiquary Care Home mid May and has settled in well due to the care...
My brother and I visited 15 nursing homes in the Dundee, Abroath area. My mother broke both of her knees and will not walk again. We needed some place that would look after her 24/7. The manager is first class. Mum moved into Antiquary Care Home mid May and has settled in well due to the care given, nice room, good food, friendly atmosphere. The care home is spotlessly clean and staff are first class. My brother and I are so happy that our choice of home has lived up to expectations for my 93 year old mother.
Thank you for writing and sending in this excellent review of Antiquary. We're so pleased to hear how highly you rate every aspect of the service and the team in general. They will be so happy to read this. We're glad you picked us! Thanks again.
Staff have been very welcoming and supportive to both my dad and I.

Thank you for taking the time to send in this wonderful review for Antiquary. It's great to hear how well your dad has settled and that you've seen the great level of care the team take in every department. Thanks again.
I found it very easy to use. Hopefully, my opinions will help in some ways. I feel very strongly that the manager has a very hard job and she is trying very hard to run a good nursing home.

On the second visit, staff in the lounge were not friendly, and the residents' teeth were visibly stained. I put them into the denture cleaner in the box on the wash basin. When we picked him up after two weeks' respite, he smelled of urine, although he was not wet. Most of his clothes in bags smelled of urine. His teeth were covered in plaque, and noticed the denture cleaner box only had 2-3 tablets used. Dentures need to be soaked overnight in the cleaner to be properly cleaned.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, which is extremely important to us. We very much appreciate the high star ratings you have given but very disappointed to hear about the issues you have raised and would have liked to have been able to address these with you personally while your husband was staying with us.
At Antiquary care home, we take cleanliness, personal care, and dignity extremely seriously. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience in more detail so we can be certain to understand and redress your concerns fully. If you would get in touch with the home manager, they can meet whenever suits you. And thank you again for your feedback.
When our friend went into Antiquary care home almost a year ago the care was adequate but since then attention to personal care and interaction with the residents has declined, often lack of showering, teeth brushing and shaving, two personal shavers going missing which which lead you to believe...

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We value all feedback to inform our ongoing development. We're deeply concerned to hear that you feel there has been a decline in your friend's experience at Antiquary over this year. Regarding the charger and shaver you highlight, we understand this is already being investigated, but we have already replaced these directly. The Antiquary team is dedicated to ensuring our residents are treated with dignity, compassion and the highest standards of care. Wherever possible, we always encourage interaction with fellow residents and participation in activities. We have made sure the senior team is aware of your concerns, and again, thank you for bringing them to our attention.

The very first day my dad moved into antiquary there was problems, from not getting dressed properly to not getting personal care .when questioned there response was he refused.one point his eyes was that crusty he couldn't even open then ,I complained to the manager ,who then replied saying. Sorry the staff missed your dad's eyes .in my opinion that's neglect! Numerous times went to visit he was left to feed himself .there was more food on himself and the floor ,it was hard to see how much he actually did eat .and he was left to sit on dirty food soiled clothes .he was in there 8 weeks ,since then he has moved into another home .which he gets shower's and shaved every day ,no problem atall .my dad has dementia and a high up member of staff said he reminds me of her 5 month old grandson isnt wot I want to hear .not very professional. I have since sent an email to the manager who i am still waiting to hear back from to see if any action was taken .which again not very professional.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. Your feedback is very important to us. We were aware of the issues you have outlined and tackled them quickly at the time they were brought to attention, as we take all information received from residents and their loved ones seriously. We understand, the issues you have raised were addressed both over email and in a face to face meeting. Although an initial preassessment of your father was carried out by the manager, we were initially unaware of his increased needs upon being admitted to the home. As a result, the team would have to nurse him in the dementia unit during the day, then he would sleep in the nursing unit by night. The team did all they could to accommodate, but we are saddened to hear we didn't meet your expectations.
A friendly atmosphere. Staff in all dept's approachable and helpful. Most of whom go above and beyond requirements of their job even although I feel more staff would help workload.

Thank you for taking the time to appraise Antiquary. There's some great feedback here for the team to appreciate. The safety and security of every resident is of paramount importance, which you hopefully see in your visits to the home. If you have any specific concerns on this in the future, please don't hesitate to raise them with our manager. Thanks again for your kind words.

Mum moved here in August 2024, my Dad was also a resident here previously so we already knew that the care offered was excellent. It took mum a wee while to settle down and staff have been wonderful. Nothing is a problem and they are very attentive to both Mum and myself & my sisters should we need help with anything. . They are very friendly & approachable. There is a range of activities available to mum should she want to participate. I believe the food is very good and I know mum enjoys the home-bakes! Mums room is very nice and always very clean and tidy.
Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful endorsement for Antiquary. It's good to know you find the hardworking team so approachable and attentive to all your needs. They'll be really pleased with your feedback. Thanks again.
My sister has been a service user arriving at Antiquary in November 2023 as her original service accommodation was damaged in the floods. We originally had some doubts about my sister being there. However, after raising our concerns, we plan in regular meetings with the management and care/nursing...
My sister recently moved to a bigger and brighter room which has had an immediate impact on day to day mood. The activities have improved massively, involving all the service users regardless of ability/disability, it's great to see the photographs of my sister being happy and smiling. Some of the service users are so friendly and enjoy a wee chat, which I am more than happy to do. Overall I am very happy, knowing my sister is being cared for well, well done to the new management and all the team.
Thank you very much for this fantastic review of Antiquary. It's heartening to hear how happy you are with the level of communication you have with the home to resolve any issues, the care your sister receives and that she's enjoying her new environment overall. The team do their absolute best and will be delighted to hear your high praise.

Antiquary became part of my life from September 2017 when my dad moved into Westway. The staff became part of the family, providing first-class care to my dad. Despite his decline with dementia, my dad was the happiest I had seen him in many years. This was due to the commitment and care of the staff. During that time, all the staff were extremely welcoming to my mother - inviting her to stay for meals, and participate in the games, or social events when she visited my dad. My mother's transition to moving into Antiquary in June 2018, went smoothly due to the care home feeling like a second home to her. My dad passed in August 2019, compassionately cared for by Antiquary staff. During the Covid years, the staff went above and beyond their remits, keeping residents entertained. I have witnessed many changes over those years, some good, some not so good, due to changes in management. Overall, my opinion of Antiquary is positive, with my mother continuing to receive first-class care.
Thank you kindly for posting this excellent, thorough review of Antiquary care home. It's lovely to hear how much comfort both you and your parents have found in the home, the wraparound care and commitment of the whole team. They will be delighted with your comments.
My mother has been in Antiquary for several years now suffering from Dementia. She is bed bound. Even though we live close to the care home and visit regularly the nursing staff still phone me regularly with updates on Mum's well being. They monitor and are willing to share key details of Mum's...
One last thing, the care home provided Mum with an Alexa. This allows us to provide Mum with music she enjoys through Spotify. It is a small thing but music is perhaps the only thing left for Mum to enjoy.
Thank you for sending in this lovely review. It's great to hear how visible every aspect of your mother's care is and that communications are excellent, to give you peace of mind. The team will take heart from your words. Thank you again.

My husband has been in Antiquary for three and half years. In that time he has been well looked after. Everyone no matter which unit, kitchen, cleaners, laundry and especially the carers all say hello to him by name and not just him they know the residents and their likes and dislikes. The food is good so are the activities etc.. The new manager has turned the place round as well.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review. It's lovely to hear all your warm compliments and your appreciation that the whole team take their duty of care for your husband very seriously. They will all be delighted with this feedback.
We moved Mum to the EMI Unit in August 2020 and she resided there until her passing in January 2023. She absolutely thrived there. We had to move Mum to Antiquary due to her prior care home was no longer viable as stated Mum absolutely thrived very quickly at Antiquary. She was happy and the staff...
In the latter stages of Mum's life and end-of-life care that was delivered with such genuine care, compassion and dignity. We were always kept updated and we really can't thank all of the staff enough for making her last few years as caring and comfortable as they were. We would highly recommend Antiquary for your loved ones.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're glad you feel your mum was so well cared for and that she was happy at Antiquary. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to our hard-working staff. Thanks again.

I was made to feel very welcome when I visited the care home. All my questions were answered and I felt at ease. I was reassured when the Home Care Manager was a psychiatric nurse. It smelt nice in the home care had been made, to make the entrance hall inviting. I wasn't rushed during my visit. I was impressed that all the staff were very smiley-genuine smiles.
Thank you so much for your review. It makes all the difference to our hardworking staff to hear their care has made the difference to our residents' visitors. We'll be sure to pass your comments on. Thank you once again.
