My Mum has been in Murrayside for two weeks now and during that time we have been so impressed at the level of care and interest the staff have shown in order to help her settle in. It has been so reassuring for us as a family to see how well looked after she is and the communication with us has also
been great.

My sister and I have been thrilled at how quickly our mother has settled into Murrayside. The rooms are spacious, bright, airy, comfortable and very well appointed. The staff have proved to be professional, caring and totally focused on her well-being. In addition, they are always available to answer
any questions we may have. There always seems to be something going on; quizzes, games and all sorts of events to keep residents busy and engaged, and Mum is thriving on it all. Murrayside presents a safe, caring and vibrant environment for our mum, and we couldn't be happier with how she is doing!

Murrayside care home and staff have provided excellent support and care for my dad throughout the entire time he was there.


The building has an excellent layout and is well maintained.


The staff are very friendly and caring yet maintain a professional approach and provide a high quality of care.


My dad quickly developed lovely friendships and felt staff has his best interest at heart.


I would highly recommend being a resident at Murrayside.

I am amazed at how well my mum has settled in at Murrayside since she moved from home at the end of August 2021. She loves her room and, in particular, the lovely open outlook from her window. I feel she is now safe and well supported to care for herself in as far as she is still able to do this. She
enjoys the company (which she didn’t have living on her own) and has been gently encouraged to join in with activities, particularly the sing-a-longs. I also gather she’s a regular winner at the bingo!
Reply from Gillian Gray, Customer Relations Manager at Murrayside

Thank you for your review. We, too, are very pleased that your mother has settled in so well at Murrayside. The sing a longs and bingo are firm favourites with a number of our residents and put a smile on their faces! We are looking forward to having more activities again, in larger groups, once this is possible.

My mother recently moved into Murrayside from another care home in Edinburgh and I have been so impressed by the kindness, support and professionalism shown, not only to my mother but also to myself and my sister. In addition to providing high-quality care in a lovely and well-maintained environment,
the communication between staff and ourselves has been excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Murrayside to others and indeed have already done so!

My mother passed away at the home in October. I can not fault the care given to her in the two years she was resident and the kindness shown to me on that day.
Mother was not the easiest to care for I am sure, but she was treated with good humour by understanding and caring staff.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a privilege for us to care for your mother at Murrayside and we all have fond memories of her fun personality and humorous comments. The team especially appreciate your comments at this extremely difficult time for the care sector.

The standard of care is excellent. Staff have put on special events, including ABBA and Hawaiian afternoons for the residents. Staff all go the extra mile, nothing seems a problem to them. The lifting of Covid restrictions means I have more freedom to come and go, feel I am getting to know everyone
a bit better now. Regular updates on Mum’s progress and what she needs.
Reply from Gillian Gray, Customer Relations Manager at Murrayside

Thank you for your lovely review. We really appreciate your kind comments during what has been a very trying time for our residents and all staff. The residents thoroughly enjoy the entertainment being provided and the most recent Abba-themed event is still being talked about - it was so much fun!


We look forward to seeing you again at Murrayside soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a short stay in hospital, March 2021, my 90-year-old mother needed to leave her home of 62 years to receive nursing care. Although due to the Covid-19 restrictions at that time it was not possible to enter Murrayside to view the facilities we were able to decide that this was the right place
for Mum based on an external tour with the customer manager, information on the website, and most importantly personal recommendations.
From day 1 Mum was made to feel welcome. We have been very impressed with the professionalism and friendly manner of all staff members who always go that extra mile to support and care for the residents. We are very pleased with the care Mum is receiving and with the regular updates, we get (phone/email/in-person) regarding her progress from various members of the team.
This was always going to be a big move for Mum both physically and mentally. Pleased to say that after just 2 months of residency Mum now regards this as her home.
Reply from Gillian Gray, Customer Relations Manager at Murrayside

We are all delighted that your mother has settled into Murrayside so quickly. She is great fun and has lots of laughs with all our staff. We do try our best but it is extra special when family members take the time and trouble to provide positive reviews such as this. Thank you very much!

My 83-year-old husband suffers from Alzheimer's disease. After a year in an NHS care home, he came to Murrayside in March 2021. He settled in well thanks to a warm welcome. Some familiar things had already been placed in his room so that he was at once comfortable in his surroundings. He is well cared
for by the wonderful staff. I have nothing but praise for the nurses, carers and those who cook lovely food for him. They are also very kind to me. I have mobility problems and they are kind to me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum arrived in Murrayside in September 2019 after a major operation. She was made very welcome and due to the care and good nutrition made a remarkable return to health. She was able, at the age of 93, to go swimming once a week which she absolutely loved. Unfortunately, Covid limited some of the
activities available but throughout the lockdown Murrayside put the well-being and safety of their residents first. The atmosphere in the home is one of a family home and the staff are wonderful. Mum, unfortunately, became ill in December once again at which time it became apparent she was at end of life. The care she received during this period of time was outstanding. The staff are both compassionate and kind. The dignity of the resident is always at the forefront respecting their wishes at all times. They helped facilitate daily Skype calls with the wider family and in the end, looked after us as much as Mum. They became part of our family and the debt we owe them is immeasurable. Thank you.

It was a privilege for us all to know and to care for your mother during the final part of her life and we shared many very happy experiences with her - swimming, golf, telling stories about Glasgow etc. It was evident that she adored her family and was very proud of each and every one of you. We miss her very much and talk about her often.

I doubt whether there is a better care home in the area than Murrayside. Staff are very caring, proof of this is that I stayed myself for a month after my wife died there, after 15-months with a terminal brain disease. The support I got in that initial period of bereavement (and as a resident myself
for the last eight weeks of her life) was hugely comforting. It has an optimistic feel to the place - comfortable, well-planned premises with cheerful, even funky decor, and rooms are well lit. Activities were more limited than normal due to Covid, but more exercises tailored to the resident's individual need would be beneficial.

We are very grateful for the tremendous efforts of many kind and caring staff at Murrayside who pulled out all the stops despite their very busy schedules to make mum’s 90th birthday a day to remember. We particularly appreciated the effort that went into setting up a Zoom call so that all her children
and grandchildren from 4 countries on different continents could partake in virtual celebrations to give her birthday messages. The care home really did so much more than we had expected. Our thanks also goes to manager who is clearly doing an amazing and difficult job during Covid.

My father has dementia and been in the care home since July 2020. Despite Covid restrictions the staff have always been absolutely super with both him and the rest of the family. He recently celebrated a birthday, and they made a real fuss of him, with a banner, balloons and a cake. He had a lovely
time, though by the next day he had forgotten all about it! Though my father has very limited memory or understanding of a lot of things now, he always says that everything about the care home is lovely and he can’t fault it at all.

My wonderful father resided in Murrayside from January 2020 until his 98-year-old heart stopped beating in his sleep on 4 January 2021, fortunately not from COVID. It is extremely sad that the last year has meant he didn’t have the experience in Murrayside which we had all hoped for but everyone did
their best to keep all the residents safe and to help them celebrate their individual joys. The staff in Roseburn Suite made his time there as joyful as possible. All staff were so supportive to me during his stay too.

My grandmother moved into Murrayside Care Home in October 2020, and the process for moving her in was made very easy and straightforward by the care home management team, especially when they're also dealing with a pandemic. A special thank you to the customer relations manager who was our main contact
throughout this process. My grandmother has really gone from strength to strength and recently celebrated her 100th birthday which again was made very special by all staff at the care home. I would also like to thank all care home staff who are in regular daily contact with my gran. There seems to be a lot of laughs and banter as witnessed by us on our weekly Skype calls and through the window visits.
I really look forward to the day when we as a family can actually get into the care home and thank the staff personally.
Thank you for everything you've done to date.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Murrayside is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.900 for Murrayside is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.9
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Murrayside is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2021

I’m a qualified Registered General Nurse and I joined Care UK in 2015. I’d been working as an agency nurse prior to that but I felt it was time to find a permanent role and really settle into the adult care sector. I think as a home manager it’s important to know the residents and the colleagues in your team. They are central to delivering the best care, so ensuring they’re happy and content is all-important.


The best part of any day is the opportunity to chat with my team and our wonderful residents and their families. It’s important we feel like one big family at Murrayside, so spending time together is key to that. This is a fantastic care home and I’m exciting about leading the team to even greater things.


Away from my job I enjoy walking. I’m very into the Step Challenge and enjoy creating some healthy competition with colleagues, friends and family with that. I also enjoy socialising with friends and family whenever I can.

Job Title: Customer Relations Manager

I moved sector and city when I joined the Murrayside team in 2020, I used to be the Trainee Manager of a five-star hotel in Aberdeen. When the pandemic started, I decided it was time for a change, and here I am.


I’m so grateful that I made the move into care, and came back to Edinburgh. I started out at Murrayside as a Receptionist/Administrator and I’ve worked my way up the ladder. It was a huge career highlight for me to be promoted into my current role as Customer Relations Manager at Murrayside.


I feel huge pride in being part of the Murrayside family. I love showing people around our amazing home, introducing them to the team, and showing them everything we have to offer. When I can, I enjoy chatting to residents and even getting involved in activities. I love seeing the residents making the most of each day.
