My husband has been a resident in Benvie Care Home for six weeks. He is in the advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease. He has settled in reasonably well and I find he is mostly happy and content. I find staff caring and respectful to him and myself.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and sharing your experience with us.
My mother has been in Benvie Care Home for respite care after a spell in hospital. She was treated with the utmost respect and dignity by all staff, who were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. I felt nothing was too much to ask to help my mum settle into a new environment.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very grateful that you took the time to leave us a review.
I think a review is a great thing, it lets you know how your loved ones are getting on. Staff get to know their likes and dislikes etc. I have a brother that's been in the care home for almost seven years, he loves it and the staff are brilliant. I was very lucky to get my partner there also. He loves the staff, food, care, and cleanliness and his room are lovely (homely). The management and staff are amazing.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We love to hear that you are happy with the care we provide.
I am very grateful and appreciative to all the staff at Benvie Care Home for the care they provide for my mum.
Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your experience with us. The home is currently under refurbishment and we are hoping to have all rooms decorated in the new style within the next 2 months.
Very happy with the care provided. The staff are very good. Any concerns are addressed quickly. Dad seems happy there. Management and staff are very approachable.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and sharing your experience with us.
The manager and staff in this establishment are excellent. The client care is excellent. They make relatives feel very welcome and I am kept informed on all aspects of care and if there are any concerns about health. All the staff are very patient and cheerful and the home is always clean and tidy. My sister-in-law's room is to be decorated soon. Client care and dignity are always foremost. All staff are very supportive of family as well as clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone. Well done to all the staff regardless of status.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very grateful that you took the time to leave us a review.
The staff are hard-working seeing to the resident's needs. They also keep me well-informed about my husband's well-being. My husband cannot speak or walk and remains secure in a chair, staff meet all his needs. I visit him twice weekly, and the staff always make me feel welcome. I also received a copy of the programme they had for entertainment and activities during the festive season. I am still very pleased that he is cared for in Benvie Care Home.
Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your experience with us. We will always strive to do our best to look after all our residents at Benvie Care Home.
As a trained nurse myself I was very impressed, reassured and happy with all aspects of Mum's care. I just want to thank all the staff for looking after my mum with all the respect, dignity and care that she deserved.
In Mum's final days we couldn't have asked for more support and comfort, not only to mum but, to all our family.
Thank you to everyone who works and is involved in Benvie Care Home.
It was always our absolute pleasure to look after Mum. On behalf of all my staff, I would like to thank you and your family for being very supportive and understanding of Mum's dementia. Sometimes it is hard to say goodbye and we must move on but there will always be an empty space in our hearts that can only be filled with happy memories of the one we love.
After being apprehensive about making the move of my mum into full-time care. I am more than satisfied with the care, help and professionalism of the staff and management at Benvie Care Home. My mind has been put at ease that mum is, at last, receiving the carte and compassion from all at Benvie. I have no hesitation in recommending Benvie Care Home.
Thank you for your kind words. Our experienced and dedicated staff understand that care must always be person-centred as each Resident is an individual with ever-changing needs. Family, friends are supported and encouraged to be involved in aspects of care if the service user wishes and it is...
My mother sadly passed away on Christmas Eve after being a resident for almost 3 years. Her care has been brilliant throughout in such difficult circumstances due to covid. I would, however, like to speak about her last few days on palliative care because the staff at Benvie were fantastic. They made mum comfortable and treated her with such dignity, I couldn't have asked for more for her in her last days. Not only that was exceptional but the treatment and support of our family was such a help at such a difficult time. Thanks so much to all the staff for that.
Thank you for your kind words. We just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you, praying for you, and grieving with you all. It was our absolute pleasure to look after mum. She is being missed by everyone here at Benvie Care Home, the impact she had on all of us will stay...
My husband has only recently gone into Benvie Care Home but I have found the staff and management to be very professional and approachable. They are being very proactive in meeting my husbands quite significant needs, engaging with several outside agencies to enhance the care they are providing. They have also helped me to cope with this very difficult time.
Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your experience with us Dorothy. We try our best to provide our residents and their families a Home away from Home. Most of us who work here have been through similar experiences either with our grandparents and or our parents. So, we can...
In general, we are happy with dad's care and everything seems well organised but to be honest, we don't really know what his day to day life is. We understand that because dad came in during Covid things have been difficult and we feel he's definitely deteriorating. It's very difficult to get through on the phone sometimes and often we are told he's eating and drinking well but no more. I feel I can't comment on the activities question as I don't know what goes on. We thought it was great when there was an events programme last Christmas and we knew what was happening.
Thank you for your feedback. There is a weekly activities planner on each floor (next to the Lift) This year’s December planner is already in the post and your family will receive this shortly. During your next visits, please request the nurse in charge to discuss updates on dad's wellbeing and how...
My mother has been with this facility for almost over 3 weeks and she couldn’t have been better! The staff are kind, patient and caring. She’s finally getting the care she deserves. Thanks to these wonderful staff who look after her, I don’t have to be constantly anxious about my mother. Also thanks to the manager who has been marvellous as she took me through step by step how she was being taking care of.
Thank you for your kind words. We are grateful that you took the time out to leave us a review. Your feedback helps us to improve service for everyone.
Some staff are rude and the tail wags the dog at this care home as some carers with no medical training seem to think they know better than the manager. The manager is also devious and will suppress complaints at every opportunity.
Benvie Care Home operates a zero tolerance policy. As an employer, it has a duty of care for the health and safety of its staff and the service users. It also has a responsibility to provide a safe and secure working environment for staff. In this respect, all relatives and visitors to the home are...
I am more than grateful to the home. Any medical issues are dealt with immediately and all the staff are extremely helpful.
My mother was admitted from the hospital where she was unsettled, paranoid and tried to escape/leave the ward on three occasions. Since being admitted to Benvie she has settled into the home and is back to her normal self. This is due to the staff and very supportive management at Benvie.
Thank you for your kind review. Hopefully, we can maintain our high standards as we move forward.
Very individualised care. Loving and open atmosphere. Respect for clients and visitors always evident. Residents choices respected. Calm atmosphere and pleasing décor.
The staff are welcoming and friendly. They are professional when carrying out their duties and come across as a well-trained team. I am very happy with the level of care given to my dad and feel his needs are being met.
We, as a family, are grateful and thankful for the love, care and attention shown to our parent. Our family was not keen on the idea of a care home, but this has definitely been the best choice for our parent (and family). Many thanks to Benvie Care Home - very pleased with all aspects.
Nice welcoming home. Staff are very friendly and treat you very good. The atmosphere is very homely, warm and welcoming. You are treated very well here and I have no hesitation in recommending Benvie Care Home if you are looking for a place for family. I cannot rate it highly enough. Top marks for a top place.

Meet the Team (6)

Hello, my name is Mya. I have been a Registered Nurse for 23 years which I started in South Africa specialising in Intensive Care Nursing. I moved to Scotland in 2004 to further my career, and I have now worked at Benvie Care Home for nearly 20 years.
I started at Benvie as a Registered Nurse, hoping one day I would beable to climb a ladder, and here I am, very proud to be Deputy Manager.
I enjoy looking after people who require support and care. This gives me satisfaction when I go
home after my shift and I feel proud to be able to provide our residents with the care they require.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and going on walks to see bonnie Scotland.

Care Home.
I am often the first person you will see when you visit the home. I am responsible for all things
financial, whether it be payroll, dealing with BACS or customer accounts.
I thoroughly enjoy my role here at Benvie Care Home and I am looking forward to progressing within
the company.

I first started as a care assistant, working towards my SVQ3 to become a senior care assistant. I then went on to study BSC in Adult Nursing for 4 years at the University of Dundee. I am now a fully
qualified staff nurse within the care sector.
I am fun, friendly and a good team player, who loves caring for our residents here at Benvie Care Home.

My role here is to offer support and companionship to the residents, ensuring that the highest level of care and excellence is delivered at all times. Getting to know the families of the residents and ensuring they feel supported is extremely important to me.
My compassion and care for the elderly, with the support from the Benvie family, inspired me to
complete my SVQ level 2 in Health and Social Care.
I thoroughly enjoy my role at Benvie Care Home, and I am grateful for the opportunities the Home has provided for me in progressing my career.
I look forward to welcoming you when you visit the Home.

I’ve worked in care homes across Scotland for over 30 years, where I started as a care assistant, then moved to activities, until I found my passion in the kitchen.
I make sure all resident’s nutritional values are adhered to in every meal, but I do enjoy making
specialist foods for our residents who request it. The residents’ health and happiness are always foremost in mind.

I am passionate about my job, and I take pride in making sure everything is up to standard for each resident and their needs, helping them feel at home.
