Care home is the right name as there is a great deal of 'care' and most of the time it is like home.

My Dad became a resident in April and the kindness of the staff and residents has helped him settle in. He enjoys the activities offered especially the weekly quiz and also the book club. He has also told us that he likes the food. It is a huge relief to know that my Dad is happy and safe.

It is a brilliant care home, they look after residents so well, as well give all their moral support to the families.

My only concern is a lot of disturbance both during the daytime and at night with doors slamming and what appears to be "heavy" movements, consideration in this area and perhaps care in the handling of situations where sudden banging and noise could greatly not disturb some individuals, if avoided.

We were very sorry to hear of the incident that occurred but I’m very pleased that we were able to resolve this for you with no further issues.

After her fall she has gone backwards health wise and I am confident that Buchanan Court is the right place for her to recover to the best of her abilities. The staff are friendly and caring and I have no doubt that this is the best place for my mum.

I have visited my friend almost every week for the last 18 months and she speaks very highly of the care home. The individual rooms and communal areas are clean and pleasant and the atmosphere seems friendly. My only reservation about recommending this care home is that it is on the corner of two main roads with a lot of heavy traffic going past.

Thank you for your lovely review of Buchanan Court, particularly for your comments on the caring team at the home. In regards to the food in the home, we do apologise that recently, where we have had some short term gaps in the team, we have fallen short of our high standards. We always strive to offer fresh, delicious meals made in-house, tailored to the needs and wishes of residents. We have had to use agency chefs recently whilst we recruit new permanent team members and have now liaised with the company to make sure, where possible, that we use the same chef who we are working closely with to get them fully trained and supported to make sure we are delivering nutritious, tasty and hot meals to all residents. Thank you again for taking the time to submit feedback and please speak to us at any time if you have any comments or if we can assist in any way and we will be happy to help.
The accommodation is very comfortable. The staff are friendly, helpful and caring. The food is satisfactory and plentiful. I feel at home here.

As I have cared for my wife in the last two years, I understand the day to day commitment that the care staff at Buchanan Court face. The care staff and teams provide and offer a great service. You can see they enjoy their roles and are happy to assist. You would never receive treatment like this...
I found the home to be very clean and tidy, with domestic staff cleaning my room daily. It is definitely a five-star service.
The location was key for my respite stay, the home itself has a lovely layout and the style is to the standard, I would expect.

Anyone considering a respite stay, perhaps for the first time and worried about reactions, should come and visit. As you walk through the door the feeling is of a luxurious hotel – lovely armchairs in an open café area, carpets, modern and fresh decor. The residents are awake and bright. The home is purpose-built so functionality has been considered from scratch; the bedrooms are large and the beds very comfortable, the bathrooms exceptionally well designed and spacious and the ground floor rooms have private patio areas, or you can walk round to the garden. There's a cinema and a pretend pub, as well as the residents' lounge. The dining room is set with tablecloths and proper china. No one could possibly feel they are being parked away here – it's like a holiday for my relative as well as family carers. Of course, all this applies to long-term residents too; there is no feeling of confinement or control, just support, all day and all night. I don't think this could be bettered.

Buchanan Court for the elderly is a superb environment both for their mental and physical wellbeing. Lovely surroundings. Excellent staff and the receptionist is a true professional both in her manner and excellent communication providing updates on situations and advice on questions that need answering. She is a lovely young woman who is a credit to the care home.
I don't need 200 words - just a few covers everything. I was poorly after my op but found all staff very caring and aware of my situation. They made me feel important and were excellent in giving me the utmost help in every respect - nothing was too much trouble. Thank you!

Welcome to Buchanan Court. My background is in nursing. In fact, I worked as a paramedic for the air ambulance for a long time, and as a unit manager in a brain injury department. When I joined Care UK, I started out as a nurse assessor and clinical lead, before progressing to be a home manager.
I’m very proud to work for Care UK – it’s one of the leading providers of older people’s care in this country and it has great systems and clear values. It also supports its colleagues to do their best work and to progress.
One of my favourite parts of my role is meeting with residents and their families and understanding their needs. I love seeing people flourishing with the person-centred care they receive from our fantastic team. Supporting them to live the life they want – that’s our ultimate goal at Care UK.
I’m personally passionate about ensuring every person we care for is happy, safe, understood and able to continue enjoying their relationships with their loved ones.
In my spare time I like to unwind by watching movies and reading books. I’m from Romania originally and, when I can, I still like to travel and experience new places, people and cultures.
