I found the staff and management friendly, helpful and assuring from first contact. All questions that I asked were answered promptly. My wifes room is spacious with pleasant views from the windows. Preferring to remain in her room, my wife can see her friends, be able to watch T.V and use her iPad in comfort. Staff regularly check on her and respond to the call buzzer in a timely manner.
Thank you for taking the time to review the home. It means a lot and helps us improve, as high standards are our priority. Thank you again. Catherine

My mother in law was in residence at Muirton for respite care. During her admission her demeanour had improved greatly and she thoroughly enjoyed the amenities and facilities available. She also had a fondness for the staff, all of whom took great care of her.

From our initial contact seeking respite for Dad, we were so pleased with the immediate and professional response we received. After visiting Muirton House, we felt assured and confident that this would be a good place. During Dad's respite, he was well looked after with staff going above and beyond to reassure him he was treated as a welcome guest.
Thank you for your kind words which are much appreciated by the whole team at Muirton House. Our aim is to provide the very best care to all our residents, whether they live with us all the time or just for respite.
She has Macular Degeneration and although looks like she can see, staff need to know she can't see well at all. Needs help with such and her balance is very poor.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We take all reviews and look at how to make improvements so that we can provide the best care and support on an individual basis. We are striving to have a stable, well-trained team, that is aware of all the intricacies of providing care for all residents, and we will take your comments and use them to expand on all staff induction and training. Our activity coordinator works closely with her and tries to provide appropriate activities for her based on what she has discussed with her. This is a continual learning process and is open to suggestions from both the client and you as her family, who have a great knowledge base for us to utilise. We are also looking at changing the menus for the summer, and have gained feedback from all residents including the client, on what they would like to see added. This was passed to the cook.
My mother gets good care and is very comfortable. I am happy with the care she gets.

I have been visiting my sister for 18 months and am very happy with the care she receives there. Not an easy lady - staff show patience, compassion, all understanding in dealing with her. I also get support from the staff nurses in dealing with my own emotions. I would recommend Muirton House to people looking for a place that deals well with dementia sufferers.
Thank you for taking the time to complete our review. It is gratifying to hear that you are happy with your loved ones' care and support.
Mum has been a resident of Muirton House since October 2023. It was a hard decision for my sister and I to find a care home for Mum, as she had lived in her own home till that point. Staff were supportive and helped Mum and us settle her into her new home. Knowing she is in a safe and caring...
Staff are caring, attentive, respectful and nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. The staff are happy that they are meeting your expectations and do enjoy providing a homely environment as far as possible, and enjoy looking after your loved one.

My wife was on an interim care placement in Muirton House Nursing Home following an extended medical stay in hospital. The staff throughout the home were all courteous and friendly, nothing was a problem. The meals and kitchen staff were excellent too. She particularly enjoyed the gardens, entertainment and exercise classes. Special thanks must go to the team at Ericht View and the activities staff for being professional and inclusive, and to the home managers and handyman/gardener who helped ensure a smooth transition home.
We at Muirton are very happy to hear that you and your wife were able to enjoy the time that your wife was with us. It was a pleasure to assist you both with the rehabilitation journey and the transition back home after such an extended stay. It was a pleasure to be able to support you both.

Following a couple of respite admissions to Muirton House for my mum, I made the decision to put her on for full-time nursing care. I want to take this opportunity to thank the manager, nursing staff, carers and the dedicated staff at Muirton House. I have no regrets about my decision, my mum is well cared for, treated with respect and her dignity maintained at all times. I highly recommend anyone struggling with a loved one with dementia, to entrust them into Muirton House.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to complete the review. Muirton house staff all try to provide a high standard of care and support at all times, and it is great to be able to pass on to them that this is appreciated.
I feel the service at Muirton House is excellent. Myself and family are very happy that our loved one resides there. I cannot comment on the activity events as my wife is not able to participate in anything due to her health condition.

My sister moved here in September 2022 and has settled in well. The unit is a good size and has the feeling of a family environment. There are always plenty of activities going on, and the residents regularly have outings in the minibus, which they all seem to enjoy. The staff are all friendly and caring and seem to have genuine empathy with the residents. I have been very happy with my sister's care and am delighted that she moved here.
Staff will be happy to hear that you are finding the unit very homely, as they strive to support all residents in a friendly manner.
Our activity co-ordinators are extremely valuable members of the team as they bring lots of variety to the activity programmes in place for all residents.

I have found the staff to be very proactive in seeing to my sister's needs. I am satisfied that my sister is receiving the best care and attention from staff who continually show compassion, kindness and consideration. One aspect of the home that I think can be improved is with regard to the bedroom and ensuite facilities. Although adequate, they are showing signs of wear and tear and, in my view, require upgrading.
I am glad to hear that you are happy with the care and support provided.
We recognise that some work is needed in that unit and the en-suites are part of a programme that has been scheduled to upgrade all of these over the course of the year.

Our relative is hard of hearing and very little sight. The resident is 98 years old and is not the easiest of residents as he speaks his mind sometimes upsetting make staff in particular who he feels do not always give him the attention she thinks is appropriate. Because of staff shortages, I know it is difficult to provide instant attention when it is required.
We acknowledge that there may be times that the care and support has not always been delivered within the time frame that the residents feel that it should have been, however, we feel that has not reduced the standard of care that is provided to the resident.

I can't praise the staff at Muirton House highly enough. My father received the very best of care and staff went to such efforts to make his room lovely and homely for him. The staff took fantastic care of his belongings and took the time and trouble to always ensure that Dad felt able to take pride in his appearance. His care plan ensured he was treated as an individual and with the utmost respect and dignity at all times.
Thank you very much for taking the time to submit a review, your positive and warm comments are much appreciated and we will ensure that your comments are shared with our team at Muirton.
My father was extremely well looked after in the short time he spent here. The staff turned his room into a home for him and in the late stages of his life, made him very comfortable and treated him with respect.
