Muirton House Care Home

I visit Mum weekly and am always greeted with a friendly face. Despite staff having the difficult job of doing lateral flow tests, they manage to make you feel at ease, so much so that after a few times you don't even feel it. Mum always looks smart and well cared for and her room clean and tidy. Mum's mood can be up and down but the staff appear to deal with it well. Mum's dementia has deteriorated slightly during the pandemic but she is always happy to see me and my brother. Mum was still very reliant on us when lockdown happened but you can see that she is now comfortable in her surroundings and with the carers.

Although my mother was only with Muirton House for a short time we found the staff to be wonderfully caring and very kind to both Mum and ourselves. Muirton House provides patient centred care, is friendly and clean and is set in the most beautiful grounds. Our family would like to thank the staff for looking after Mum, and us, so very well.

Very caring staff who look after my wife very well. Although her health has worsened she seems very settled.

I cannot fault the service, and the staff are excellent.

I find Muirton House very welcoming and am very happy to see that my brother has settled in well.

My sister-in-law has been at Muirton House since August 2016 and her husband (my husband's brother) since October 2019 until his death on January 9th 2021. We have been impressed with the kindness, friendliness and care shown by the staff at all times. Also, they are to be congratulated on how they kept Covid19 out of the home from day 1 of lockdown in March 2020 - sadly not the case for many care homes throughout the country.

Muirton House has a professional and caring manager and staff likewise. The low turnover of staff, which is unusual in the care sector, lends itself to a settled environment for the residents and staff group. My dad has excellent person centred care which has given me peace of mind. He loves a daily walk, which the staff ensure he gets weather permitting, and his love of gardening has continued since moving into Muirton. The extensive grounds are superb for residents and visitors to walk in.

I’m struggling to find the words to adequately thank the staff at Muirton House. My mother was admitted in April 2019 at the peak of Covid. It was a very difficult time for all involved. The staff were superb - supportive, considerate, always there to answer questions and help. My mum may have lacked family cuddles and visits due to lockdown, but the staff made up for that in bucketloads. They worked so hard and from their hearts to settle my mum in, building a loving, supportive and fun environment for her. Supporting not only Mum but also my dad and myself. We will be eternally grateful to each and every one of them. Thank you all.

I have two family members who have enjoyed living at Muirton. My grandmother stayed until August last year, receiving kind and attentive care in comfortable surroundings, with beautiful grounds, for many years. My uncle has also been a resident as part of the learning disability unit for many years and the support is exemplary, he lives as independently as possible, is encouraged in his hobbies, is well cared for and has an incredibly active social life. There is a wonderful atmosphere in the unit and he has made great friends with the staff and other residents. Staff across Muirton have always been very pleasant and have kept in good communication when there have been any issues. A wonderfully personal touch was that staff encouraged my uncle to keep in regular contact with my grandmother once they both moved into Muirton/Ericht View (having previously lived together), a space was made for them to have lunch at their own table every Sunday, something they both looked forward to.

I visited Muirton House from the day of my wife's arrival and have nothing but admiration and respect for the staff for their care of my wife and other residents. I do have one objection though and that is the handling of my wife onto chairs/bed by hoist. I do understand the rationale completely of its use but she gets very stressed by it. She is not heavy and I'm sure the 2 carers that it takes to use the machine, could manage the job easier and quicker and with no stress or angst.

Muirton House is a beautiful house and a caring, loving home in the real sense of the word. I feel secure in the knowledge that my husband is very well looked after in all aspects of his life there. The staff are wonderful and seem to care for me as well. This is not the old-age we planned but under the circumstances, it could not be bettered. Thank you, Muirton.

My wife has been at the nursing home only since the 21st Dec 2019. It took her a bit of time to get used to being there but she seems to have settled down now. I haven't seen her during the lockdown, but our daughter phones to see how things are. She has been assured that her mum is doing fine. The staff are all very good as are the management.

Excellent all round in all aspects of care concerning my sister-in-law and my brother.

During these challenging times, everyone at Muirton has been fantastic. They have kept me updated on how Mum is and held video chats with us so we can see and speak to her. They are always welcoming and are part of our extended family.

Muirton House is fantastic in every way, the staff could not be better. It's like home from home.

Dad was a resident of Muirton from 2012. Over the period of his residency, my brother and I have been very satisfied with the level of care he received. On each visit we noted that Dad was always clean-shaven, wearing his own clothes, and in general good health. His behaviour over this period proved challenging to the staff due to the nature of his disease, however, we never, at any point felt concern regarding his wellbeing.

I would have no hesitation recommending Muirton House Nursing Home.

The trained nurses are knowledgeable, professional and lead an excellent team of carers. They keep me informed and I have confidence in their abilities and expertise. Most of all, I believe my uncle is contented and well cared for at Muirton House.

Overall, we were very pleased with the high standard of care provided and would like to thank all staff concerned.

I would highly recommend Muirton House Nursing Home - my Mum was given excellent care whilst a resident there, we as her family were extended the same amount of care.
