Ruthven Towers Care home is set in tranquil, leafy grounds just off "Lang Toon".
The building used to be an elegant country house hotel and evidence of the splendour and glamour of the former hotel is still very much part of today's architecture.
The home has recently benefitted from a major, sensitive renovation, and now provides 51 rooms, many with stunning views over the gardens and the rolling Perthshire countryside....
Ruthven Towers Care home is set in tranquil, leafy grounds just off "Lang Toon".
The building used to be an elegant country house hotel and evidence of the splendour and glamour of the former hotel is still very much part of today's architecture.
The home has recently benefitted from a major, sensitive renovation, and now provides 51 rooms, many with stunning views over the gardens and the rolling Perthshire countryside. The configuration of this home also provides a number of luxury care apartments for residents requiring a little more comfort and homeliness in their care accommodation.
Ruthven Towers really is more akin to a high end hotel for the elderly rather than a traditional care home. The home welcomes private and socially assisted residents and offers a range of bedrooms and care packages from £550 per week.

Our experience was one of caring, knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming and happy. The staff were all very nice and we could not fault a thing. Excellent experience from office staff to staff work in the home.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of Ruthven Towers. It's wonderful to know that the team are making a positive difference to your mum through their kindness, engagement, and genuine interest in her wellbeing. We understand how important smooth access for visitors is and always aim to strike the right balance between security and convenience. Meal selections are continually reviewed but we will of course pass on your feedback. Our Home Manager has since reached out to discuss directly. Finally, thank you for recognising our staff as the highlight of the home - we couldn't agree more, and it means a great deal. Thanks again.
My wife has been resident here for over 8 years and is bedbound. Over this period, she has received great attention and care. She has lot her speech so I have completed this form to the best of my ability. Some of the questions aren't relevant.

Thank you for taking the time to prepare and send in this excellent review of Ruthven Towers. It's heartening to know that you're satisfied with the great care and attention taken by the team. They'll be really pleased to read this. Thanks again.
I cannot praise Ruthven Towers Care Home enough. Since dad went in for care, they have been fantastic. Keep us informed of everything going on. Inclusive activities for residents. Go above and beyond to have activities available to suit his needs. Heard dad had been a drummer, made sticks and pads...
Great facilities, clean, welcoming, bright, and friendly. It's like visiting dad at "home", not a care home.
Thank you for sending in this fantastic review of Ruthven Towers. It's an absolute pleasure for the team to meet your dad's needs and go the extra distance wherever possible. They'll be delighted to read this. Thanks again.
For a period of 6 months my dad has been in nursing care, however, there has been no social, mental for physical stimulation for the residents. Poor service throughout.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review, we truly appreciate you taking this time. All feedback plays a valuable role in informing how we move forward, and we take it very seriously, acting swiftly wherever necessary.We're sorry to hear that your experience regarding your father's care hasn't met the expectations we strive to uphold. This is disappointing to read. Throughout your father's time with us, we've not received any concerns of this nature. Had we been made aware, we would have investigated and addressed them as a matter of urgency.Our Activities Coordinator, whom you've kindly supported through the online relatives' group, continues to work closely with our care team to offer meaningful engagement for our residents - socially, mentally and physically - as they will allow.Once again, thank you for sharing your review. It helps us in our ongoing commitment to provide the very best care for our residents.

The care staff are excellent & go above and beyond in care for my mother. Her physical and mental health are great. Communication from the staff to me, as her next of kin, is excellent. There are various activities available for my mother & her health conditions are kept on top of. She has a far better quality of life here than she did before her admission.
Thank you for taking the time to write this excellent review of Ruthven Towers. It's lovely to hear that you see all the benefits of our team's care first hand and that your mother is feeling the benefit. They'll be delighted to read this. Thanks again!
Mary is delighted with everything especially if she gets her cuppa tea!

Thank you for sending in this lovely review. It's wonderful to know that your mum has settled in nicely at Ruthven Towers. I'll be sure to share this with the management there and their hardworking team.
My mum moved into Ruthven Towers on the 25th of April, she really loved it, she loved all the staff, as they are very friendly and give her the care she needs and looks after her well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit this great review. It's lovely to know how happy your mum is at Ruthven Towers and that she's settled in so well. It's also nice to hear how highly you both think of the team's hard work in every aspect of her care. They will be delighted to see this.
My auntie's experience in staying at Balhousie Ruthven Towers Care Home is not good. She has no problems with the staff, they are friendly and always very busy. The food is not good, as by the time it gets down to her room it's either warm or cold. There's no taste to the food as it's all been...
My auntie's experience in staying at Balhousie Ruthven Towers Care Home is not good. She has no problems with the staff, they are friendly and always very busy. The food is not good, as by the time it gets down to her room it's either warm or cold. There's no taste to the food as it's all been frozen, nothing cooked from fresh. My brother can come down from buying fish and chips, parking car, waiting to be let in, signing in then walking down to the bottom floor and to room and the fish and chips are still hot. My aunty likes her food piping hot. She has only met the manager once if met her, the manager should be visiting residents weekly.

Thank you very much for taking the time to add a review. We always welcome feedback and really appreciate you reaching out with your concerns. It is so lovely to hear how friendly you find the staff at Ruthven Towers. We are also sorry to hear that you have been disappointed with certain aspects of the home. We understand that the chef has met with your auntie to discuss the menu and he attends the residents monthly meeting to address any concerns. Also, the Home Manager has met with your auntie individually as well as at the monthly residents meetings. If you would like to talk with the Home Manager about any of your concerns, she is more than happy to meet with you.

Mum had a beautiful room and was well looked after by caring staff. My don't concern was the arrival of another patient who frequently entered Mum's room. This was mentioned on day 1 but unfortunately happened throughout her week's stay.
Thank you so much for writing your review around your mum's respite stay. We're so glad your worries about the stay were quickly dispelled, and she received the good care and attention you, and we, would expect.

Despite Alzheimer's and a stroke, he knows the staff and always seems happy when I visit. One thing he does enjoy is the food, and this is excellent.

My mother was in Ruthven Towers for a very short period (ten days). In this time, she was cared for in an exemplary manner by all the staff she came into contact with. Apart from excellent personal care, they engaged with her in a most caring and empathetic way. Nothing was too much trouble for them and she took to all of the staff right away. Unfortunately, she deteriorated very quickly and the nursing, and palliative care she received was second to none. In her time there it was a great comfort to all of us that she was so well cared for until the end of her life. Apart from looking after my mum, their care extended to our family and we are very grateful for that.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review at such a difficult time. We are so pleased to hear how caring and empathetic the team at Ruthven Towers were with your mother and your family in her final days, and how this brought great comfort to you all.

I have seen that my mother is being well looked after by the staff also they encourage her to participate in all the activities.

We were delighted to get my mother out of the hospital and into local care that could cope with and improve her physical and mental condition. My mother has improved significantly in all aspects since she came to Ruthven Towers. Some small problems/issues - but overall good.

Very good care home with high standards, in a very nice building setting. The staff are extremely professional whilst being super friendly. If I have one comment it would be that quite painful escalating fees could probably see investment in additional staff… shared pain between provider and paying family as it were. Overall, very happy with mum’s total care. A recommended care home indeed.
Thank you for your lovely review of Ruthven Towers. We feed back all comments to senior management so will certainly share this with them.

My mum has been living in Balhousie Ruthven Towers Care Home now for a year. My sister and I came to realise that mum required professional care last May, after being diagnosed with vascular dementia at the age of 86. We chose Ruthven Towers in Auchterarder primarily for its location and on a recommendation. We have, without a doubt, made the right choice! Mum has been receiving excellent care and personal attention throughout a most difficult year. The staff have all been superb in dealing with unprecedented challenges and I can't thank them enough for everything they do for my mum and the other residents. Weekly window and outside visits were both emotional and stressful, how wonderful it is to visit mum in her lovely room and enjoy a coffee together!
Thank you so much - we're so happy to hear that Ruthven Towers has been a good choice for your mum and you and your sister.
Following a very difficult year for all care home residents, staff and relatives I would like to praise the manager and her wonderful team at Balhousie Ruthven Towers Care Home. Mum has been in Ruthven Towers for just over a year and I am very happy with the care and love she receives on a daily...
