Over all time Moyness Care Home has 24 reviews.
Lisa and her team at Moyness Care Home have been excellent looking after my dad. I always found dad was kept tidy, clean and shaved. He said many times that he was happy staying at Moyness. I always found the Management Team to be friendly and considerate. I am also grateful for the care support and the dignified way they looked after dad until the end. It was a comfort to the family and we will always appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to send in this lovely review of Moyness. It will mean a great deal to the team to hear how much you appreciate the high level of care they delivered to your dad and to every resident, every day. Thanks again.
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.
Thank you for writing this fantastic review of Moyness. It's great to hear how happy and content your dad is there and that you see the high level of care provided in every respect. What a fantastic endorsement for the team, they'll be so pleased to hear this.
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
Thank you for taking the time to write this great review of Moyness. It's heartening to hear how well your mother has settled in to the home and that all her comforts are around her. The team will be delighted to read this.
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.
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.
An excellent care home providing a high standard of care. Residents are treated with dignity and respect, cleanliness is excellent and the staff and management team are very welcoming. Nana is very happy there which is good to see.
Thank you very much for taking the time to add a review. It's wonderful to hear how happy your Nana is at Moyness and the excellent level of care she's receiving. It's also lovely to hear how welcoming the staff and management team have been when you've visited. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team there - they will be delighted!
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this super-review. We're so pleased to hear your Dad has settled in well, and both he and you, are enjoying time at his new home. And even better, to see the improvement in health and wellbeing! We'll pass this on to the staff. Thank you once again.
The care home had a relatives meeting. Plenty of information going to give residents outings and do many things in the months to come. The entertainment coordinator is excellent and prepares many activities for the residents. My wife is very happy and contented.
Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the relatives' meeting and that your wife is happy and content at Moyness. It's lovely to see residents getting out and about again.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words which we will be happy to pass on to the hard-working team at Balhousie Moyness.
The staff are very helpful. Always smiling and help you with everything you ask.
This is all we can ask for! Our staff are amazing and we're glad you share that view. Thank you for reviewing us.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the hardworking team at Moyness.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review Moyness. It will mean the world to the staff there to hear your kind words.
My mother is well cared for, and the staff are very professional in their jobs.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us!
Care staff are excellent in Moyness, deliver a family feel and understand my mother in law's needs. Sadly the way visiting is managed overall by Balhousie is not great at the present time. Thank you to Moyness staff.
Thank you for your kind words about Moyness and for your comments about our visiting policy. We are working hard to get to the point of resuming in-home visits and really appreciate the patience and understanding of all relatives.
I have and would recommend Moyness to others.
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.
The main thing is that mum is safe and well looked after by the staff. Moyness is well-managed and the staff make every effort to meet the often complex care needs of the residents.
My mother has been in this care home since March 2017. Staff are cheery and friendly and most importantly, you can see that the residents are their top priority. They have given me lots of support throughout this whole experience of which I am very grateful.
The managers, nursing staff and care staff, and catering staff are all fantastic.
For mum Moyness was a happy and safe place.
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.
