My Auntie had a good experience at Craigieknowes. The home itself could do with some modernisation but they are working on that, however the team here are excellent. Although my Auntie had her down days she also noted on many occasions how she felt safe and cared for. From her familie's perspective we could see that was the case. I particularly appreciated how I was included at every step with her care and her situation. It was clear that there is a high level of professional expertise at Craigieknowes along with compassion front and centre.
Thank you for your review Rhiannon. It was our privilege to care for Auntie and we are delighted that she felt safe and cared for and that you were happy with her care and felt included. We are always striving to improve the home and a programme of refurbishment continues . Thanks again Rhiannon

I've found all the staff, from management, to carers, nurses, events coordinators, chefs and cleaners, very very kind helpful, caring and compassionate.
It's been a difficult journey, finding a care home to accommodate my Dads needs, I think we've been very lucky indeed to have been accepted to Craigieknowes.
The home is clean and warm, Dad is well fed and cared for, nurses & carers are on hand 24/7, everyone treats the residents with respect and kindness.
Dad's room is ample size with all his home comforts now moved in, we're allowed to bring his beloved cats in to visit him.
I really couldn't have wished for a better team of staff to look after my Dad.
Entertainment and days out are well organised.
Thank you for your review Chris. It is our privilege to care for Dad. We are delighted that he has settled in so well after a very difficult time and that you are happy with his care . Thanks again
Couldn't have got a better care home for caring for both my parents. They always have got great activities on & nothings any bother to asking any of the staff for anything. And they fully respect everyone's individual needs etc. The staff always friendly and approachable.

Overall the staff were very caring, professional and attentive to helping needs. Were always very welcoming, genuine and could see they generally care for the residents in their care. At times the communication between staff members could be slightly better as occasionally found to have to repeat information multiple times. The end of life care was exceptional and felt really reassured at such a sad time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our staff caring, professional, attentive, and welcoming, and that you felt reassured by the exceptional end of life care provided during such a difficult time.

Managers and Administrator made process straight forward to understand.
Mum seemed to perk up when taken to lounge beside other residents.
Nurses and care staff took time to talk to each resident as well as visitors like myself.
I would definately recommend this Care Home.

I really enjoyed your newsletter and photos on social media. Mum joined you recently and with your care and understanding she is settling in well. She is joining in to the various events you have meaning she is experiencing crafts etc she didnt try before. I am housebound and can't visit at the moment so love seeing what she is getting involved in. Thanks to all staff for working so hard to make a home for her
Thank you for your positive comments Linda. We are delighted to hear you are happy with Mum's care - it is our privilege . Thank you

I have seen care being given by staff when they did not know they were observed & it was compassionate & kind. The staff approach and attitude more than balance out the older facilities - that is a more than reasonable trade off in my opinion. My mother enjoys the food & sitting with other residents to eat.
N.B., My only lower score (value for money) is because I believe the cost of care homes is remarkably expensive.
Thank you so much for your positive review . We are delighted to hear that you find staff compassionate and kind as this is one of our core values Thank you again

The staff who cared for me directly were warm, friendly and well trained. I felt respected and safe and saw that they treated other residents in the same manner.
I spent ten days there on respite and my accommodation was as good as I could have hoped.
The manager has developed a strong care team and I enjoyed watching how she operates.
The only minor issue I had was the quality of the coffee in that administrator's room. I will rectify this on a future visit.
Congratulations and my warm thanks to all at Craigieknowes.
Mum enjoys the interaction with other residents and loves getting the opportunity to get out and about when she can.

Although I hate it when I have to say goodbye after my visits, I know she is in good hands and it is the safest place for her.
The staff organise lots of activities, that my mum can take part in, if she wants and there are regular updates on social media of them all enjoying themselves.
There seems to be a lot of choice in all her meals, and her room is always clean and tidy.
If ever I have any questions, the staff are happy to explain, no matter how long it takes to explain.
In the beginning, I was very upset about putting my mum into a nursing home, but since then, I now realise this is the best, and safest, place for her to be and I am very thankful to all the staff for their constant supervision of my mum.
Another year and I have nothing but absolute respect for all the Staff looking after my Mother in Law. The manager and the team continue to provide a very personal and caring service to my whole family. Great job.

Mum has been in Craigieknowes Care Home for over a year and I feel very lucky that she has gained a second family who takes such care of her every day. The home is clean, bright and welcoming and every member of staff stops for a chat with both Mum and myself anytime we meet them. I feel all the staff know Mum well and the affection they have for her is evident in all the little things they do to meet her individual needs and preferences. The atmosphere is calming and Mum loves the pets who bring her much amusement and fun. There are regular activities available and although Mum doesn’t always take part, the staff go out of their way to find her something she will enjoy and we both like a wee tea party for a special occasion! I cannot thank the manager and her staff enough for the care they give Mum every day.
The staff and management are all fantastic at Craigieknowes Care Home! They are very friendly and welcoming every time you walk through the door, they are amazing with my mum as she is always doing some sort of activity. I would highly recommend.

Hello, my name is Emmanuel, and I am proud to serve as the Deputy Manager here at Craigieknowes. I joined the team in May 2023, bringing with me my experience as a Registered Nurse, a role I qualified for in 2017.
