Over all time Meigle Country House has 13 reviews.
Firstly I would love to say MCH is the most amazing place ever. My Mum absolutely loved the place. Her first taste was respite care for two weeks after 14 years of me caring for her fully. She always said she didn't want to go into a care home but after her 2 week break she came home and didn't...
Unfortunately Mum was diagnosed with dementia not long after she moved in. The staff were absolutely amazing with her, even on her bad days. She was there just over 2 years before she passed away.
MCH is a lovely home from home care home. The staff are amazing and so knowledgeable in their roles. They get to know the families and always kept us updated. The staff that cared for mum will always have a special place in my heart and I couldn't thank them enough. Karen, Sine, Nic, the care assistants and obviously Duncan the chef.
Thank you xxx
Thank you so much for your kind words Dee. Your Mum was a very special lady and so full of enthusiasm for everything that was going on, in fact her enthusiasm was infectious and rubbed off on everyone. We miss her so much and is often in our conversations. We have passed on your kind words to all the staff. Take care!
This was a shock for...
This was a shock for us as a family, however, knowing that we were being taken care of by Nic and her team was such a relief to us. Mum has previously received respite care in Meigle and loved every second of her time there. The team are just second to none and for once I was secure in the knowledge that mum was being cared for like she was a part of their family. When mum became ill, I knew that there was nowhere else we trusted and at the worst time for our family, we were supported to a level that I had not thought possible and for that, we will be forever grateful. Mum had the death that she deserved, as a family we got to spend the time with her, medical support was given and we could focus on mum.
Thank you for your kind words. We all loved your mum, she was such a pleasure to have around and was never short of a story. The amount of items she knitted was amazing, and was beneficial to so many others. I'm glad you felt supported by the team here, as we really do aim to not only assist the...
Thank you for your kind words. We all loved your mum, she was such a pleasure to have around and was never short of a story. The amount of items she knitted was amazing, and was beneficial to so many others. I'm glad you felt supported by the team here, as we really do aim to not only assist the resident but the family as a whole, when it comes to these really difficult times. Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate it.

Being small it comes with a cosy homely feel. All staff are extremely friendly when I visit and very caring towards mum.
She has settled well and even with her dementia recognises how lucky she is to be in such a lovely home.
Her room is kept exceptionally clean and tidy, as is the rest of the home.
The other residents all appear happy and contented.
Mum enjoys the visit from the petting dog each week also the visit from the local primary 7's even if she doesn't remember always what they did.
Getting her hair done each week is lovely too, as she used to visit the hairdressers weekly before.
Its hard to find anything negative. It might be nice to have a board somewhere that said what had been happening, ie what activities done with the kids, as mum never remembers.
Thank you for your feedback, it is always reassuring to hear how you feel how things are going. I love the suggestion of the board giving a short overview of what's been happening. We will look at this and see how we can progress with this.
Mum has been a resident since 2021. Dad was a resident a few years before then. He died very peacefully there. We chose the home because of its warm, friendly and homely environment . Being a smaller home it has a more family atmosphere. My parents got to know the staff quickly and vice versa. Mum...
Good staff make a good home - can't fault anyone, smiling, approachable and friendly so it's been easy to careplan mum's care from the food she is able to eat, her medical care to how she likes her hair. Food is amazing don't think there is anything mum hasn't liked. Communication with staff is excellent we always know what's going on. Would stay there myself if I needed to.
We are delighted that you feel this way about our home. We would hope that you and Mum will always feel able to speak to us if you wish to discuss anything. Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
Mum stayed here for six months from November 2025. I was deeply impressed by the care and kindness given to her for the entirety of her time at Meigle. The home is in a beautiful setting and is full of character and comfort.The one thing in particular that stood out for me was the staff who worked...

Thank you for your kind words. It is good to hear that you have felt like part of the Meigle family as that is so important. It was a pleasure supporting your mum during her time with us.
My father is a resident and I can’t say anything but positive remarks. The manager is so nice and very caring and is very easy to talk to.

My father is a resident and I can’t say anything but positive remarks. The manager is so nice and very caring and is very easy to talk to. I have never been in a care home like this, as it’s just like a big house full of care and residents come first. The food is first class and the time spent with my dad is always caring. The staff are all friendly and approachable, nothing is ever a problem. It was very hard looking for a loving place for my dad, as a family we want the best care for him and the first time I walked into the care home it felt so calm and caring. Also, the member of staff who is managing the care home as well is really nice and has a caring nature. Meigle Country House is a very special place and we as a family are so happy and feel so lucky that our dad got accepted as a resident.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review of Meigle Country House. We are immensely proud of the team at Meigle in everything they do to ensure your loved ones are given the best possible care and attention. It means a lot to hear your kind words. We always pass these on to all members of the team in the home.

All in all this home could not be better.
Note - Mum does not suffer from dementia or other related problems.
Staff, manager and deputy are always helpful when I raise a query and have gone to great lengths to get things right. We always feel welcome when we visit. Most importantly, mum is looking and sounding very well and in my view this is attributable to the quality of care she receives here.

The atmosphere and the layout at Meigle were very homely. There was laughter and smiling faces. The focal point of the residents' lounge and dining room was beside the offices which meant that staff were always close at hand.
Staff are very helpful, kind, professional to residents and their families.
Residents are treated with care and dignity. Staff get to know their background and their likes and dislikes etc.
Nursing care is very thorough.
End of life care is gentle and very respectful.
It is not an easy decision for families and their loved ones to tackle the issue of residential care but it is a huge relief to know they are well cared for and safe.
All residents are well groomed and clothes are always clean.

The home has a lovely atmosphere. Try and make sitting areas relaxed without chairs in a line or semi-circle. Quiet areas or busier areas are catered for. Staff always friendly, helpful and really build up good relationships with their residents.

My extended family visit frequently and feel welcomed whatever time of day they call in. Throughout several months of visiting, none of us has had any cause for concern over the care my mother receives. Indeed, we feel that a place at Meigle Country House Care Home has been the best possible outcome from a challenging and emotionally fraught situation.

Before becoming Manager at MCH, Nic had already been working as a Registered Nurse within the home for several years. Nic is a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) and, although she manages the home, likes to keep her hand in by regularly being the nurse on shift. Nic has many years of experience and has a keen interest in ensuring the care of older people is holistic in their final days and that the resident and their family are fully taken care of at this difficult time. When Nic is not at work, you can find her in her kitchen making amazing cakes for celebrations or heading off to yet another concert (there are not many bands that Nic has not seen live!)

Karen has a wealth of nursing experience in a range of settings and is passionate about the care of older people within MCH. Having been in MCH for so many years, Karen has built an excellent rapport with the local Medical Practice which serves the home. Although it has been many years since Karen left home, she retains her Geordie accent.
Out of work, Karen loves spending time with her family and trying out new recipes.

Liz has worked at MCH as an RGN for many years and would have seen a few changes within that time. Liz is well loved by the residents with her sense of fun and humour. In her role at MCH, Liz is the Tissue Viability Nurse and has a real interest in ensuring the residents' skin is in the best possible condition.
Up until recently, most of Liz's time off would have been spent jet-setting off to warmer climes; now, however, Liz is just as happy spending time in her summer house with her husband and her dog.

Katy is well known by everyone at MCH as she has worked here for so long. Not only that, although she is a Carer on Night Shift, you will find her in various roles within MCH as she can turn her hand to most things. Katy was one of the first to complete her SVQ here but continues to strive to develop her knowledge to ensure she gives 100% to residents; nothing is too much trouble for Katy!
When not at work, she is a busy mum and also fits in her hairdressing business too... We're not sure when she finds time to sleep!

Vibin is a very well-loved member of staff. Although he mainly works Night Shift, you will occasionally see him on Day Shift too. You will often hear residents commenting, 'Vibin will do it, as he knows best' or 'When is Vibin on next, because he will be able to sort it?' Vibin is always willing to assist in any way he can. Vibin has recently become a Dad for the first time and is absolutely loving it ... so that's where his attention will be when he is not at work.
