I would highly recommend Balhousie Moyness Care Home. My dad has been a resident since 2018 and has had an excellent standard of care. The staff are especially kind and caring and always look out for Dad and take the time to get to know him. The food always looks delicious and well presented. Dad enjoys
the activities when he chooses to join in. He seems happy and content to be living at Moyness. Thank you to all the staff for taking good care of him.

Following a lengthy hospital admission my mother was assessed for 24/7 care. On visiting the care home (Moyness). We both felt very welcome and immediately felt the home had a "lovely feel". My mother was transferred shortly later - since her move to Moyness she has settled in so well, her room is very
homely with all her own belongings / bedding. All the staff have been very caring and attentive - a credit to

Review from Stephen B (Brother of Resident) published on 16 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother resided at Moyness in August this year. We was only there for a month before he passed away. All the staff at Moyness were so friendly and compassionate. My brother had learning difficulties and we were concerned about how he would settle in his new surroundings but he settled really well
and engaged with the staff. Unfortunately because of his learning difficulties, he was not able to participate in any of the wonderful activities that the home puts on. They have a lovely garden area where residents can sit out as well. We could not have picked a better home for my brother. We are so pleased and thankful to all the staff at Moyness for the care and attention they gave my brother over the short period he was there for.
Reply from David Kerr, Communications Team at Moyness Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. Our deepest condolences on your brother's passing. We are glad to know that he settled in well while he was at Moyness. The team do their utmost to make sure the environment is homely in every way. They will be touched to hear this feedback.

We have been very impressed with the care our dad has received since being at Moyness. The staff have taken time with him to help him settle in and always keeping us informed of his progress. We have seen a vast improvement in his health and general wellbeing. It is a joy to visit Dad and hear about
all the activities and "his gossip" that he enjoys.

My mother has been a resident in Balhousie Moyness Care Home for almost two years. In that time I feel she has been very well looked after. The staff are always on hand to help. My sister and myself are always kept well informed and have never had cause to work. I feel she is being extremely well cared
for. The property is light and airy and very well maintained. I am very happy with the standard of care my mother is receiving.

Putting my dear wife into Moyness was the hardest decision I have ever had to make but the management team and staff made this slightly easier by their caring attitude, showing both myself and family compassion. They were and have been highly professional at all times. The standards are set high and
my wife has settled in very well and the staff care for my wife's wellbeing and health to a high standard.

Balhousie Moyness is an excellent home, run by an excellent management team and staff, which includes carers, housekeeping, cleaners and the catering department. The staff are very professional, caring and extremely hard working. They cared for my mother to a very high standard, and they genuinely care
for the residents and our family. Throughout Covid, as a family, we found it very difficult, but the staff cared for my mother as if she was their own family.

My husband suffered a stroke in January 2015. He spent a year in hospital and was transferred to Balhousie Moyness Care Home December 2015 and after 2 years of being nursed and cared for, he was able to return to the family home at the beginning of December 2017.


The staff are excellent and there

is a relaxed, friendly but efficient attitude in the home. While my husband was resident there, works were carried out to update the decoration and this was carried out so there was minimum disruption to the residents.


The former mansion house has a wheelchair accessible garden with large trees which is lovely to see and sit in in good weather.


We are grateful for all the help and support we received from the staff at Balhousie Moyness and have recently recommend this home to a friend for his elderly father.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was very happy at Moyness. Throughout her stay there she was treated with kindness and dignity. Everyone in the home knew her and always addressed her using her name. Mum would take part in most of the activities arranged. There was a varied programme which catered for most people. There was
also regular parties, birthdays, Easter, Christmas. There were also outings eg. to the local cinema. I was able to take my mother shopping. She enjoyed getting out. She liked getting out even when she was at home. Moyness has a lovely garden which residents were encouraged to use. I was always kept informed about everything concerning my mother. There were also regular meetings with the management team where families of residents were kept up to date with what was happening at Moyness. All visitors were made very welcome, including her great-grandson who loved playing in the garden when he came to visit.
For mum Moyness was a happy and safe place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mother-in-law has been a resident for 18 months now. She recently celebrated her 100th birthday in the home. Throughout her stay, she and her family have been impressed with the overall care, physical, mental and social, that seems to come naturally to the staff. This in itself indicates good leadership
from the top. Apart from regular meetings for relatives with management, any intervening questions are always listened to attentively and acted on if appropriate.


The atmosphere in the home is not one of an institution but geared as much as possible to a family and homely ambience. The recent redecoration has added to this. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and resident's celebratory events are always given special attention. Resident's culinary foibles are dealt with sympathetically and alternatives are usually made available.


The family are glad that she chose Balhousie Moyness Care Home to be cared for.

My mother used this care home in 2017. We were very impressed with everything from the cleaners to the management and everybody in between. The care and attention given to residents is unequalled in any home I've been in and I've worked in a fair few over the years.


It is homely, spotlessly clean,

with excellent nutritious food, a good activity programme and beautiful gardens.


The care is professional with attention to detail giving great respect to both resident plus family members and with plenty of humour thrown in for good measure. I could not recommend it highly enough. I have experienced 6 nursing homes in Dundee for different family members over many years. This was the best by a long shot.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.959)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.959) out of 10 for Moyness Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Moyness Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.042 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Moyness Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.667
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
