My mother is well settled in the care home. Her dementia has worsened over the last year so she is less able to take part in activities and is frequently tired but enjoys the ones she participates in. There are lots of things going on in and out the care home run by a very enthusiastic team who seem to know the residents well. Recently a team member has kindly made a playlist for Mum sent by my brother and myself and installed it on her music provider for when she is in her room. Mum is often awake at night making her tired in the morning and her needs for rest are taken on board. My brother and myself are always kept up to date with any changes and are very happy with the care provided at Liberton Brae.
Many thanks for your feedback. It is a real pleasure to care for your mother
My dad was the very first resident there when it opened and he loves it is very settled!
Thank-you for taking the time to send your feedback. It's a pleasure to look after your Dad
My Mum has Alzheimer's and has lived at Liberton Brae care home for a year and a half .The care she has received has been wonderful .The staff all do an amazing job and are friendly ,thoughtful and caring . There is good communication from staff to me regarding my Mums health and well being
Thank-you for taking the time to offer your feedback. It's a real pleasure to care for your mum.
My only concern is Bobbys Bar cleanliness could be improved. The tables and floor could be cleaner (more regular) lack of cleaning fluids and clean dish towels. Otherwise, this is a fantastic facility within the home which we use most days.
Many thanks for your feedback. Its much appreciated as it really helps us to improve and make the home a more comfortable place for our residents . We have discussed your comment about cleanliness in the bistro with the team and from yesterday we increased the number of times that our domestic...
I feel my mum is very well looked after and any issues are always addressed and dealt with promptly.
I have no concerns whatsoever.
Thanks very much for your feedback. It's our pleasure to care for your Mum
The activities team work very hard to keep residents moving and having fun as much as is possible.
I would definitely recommend Liberton Care Home as a caring, comfortable place for people to live or have respite care.
The home is very clean and mums rooms is spacious, always fresh with a beautiful outlook over the city.
Many thanks for your feedback. It is a real pleasure to look after your mum.
All seems good with my father's care at Liberton Brae. My father has dementia and can be difficult at times and the staff have dealt with this sympathetically and professionally. Liberton Brae has good facilities and my dad's room is substantial. All my dealings with staff have been favourable.
Thank you for your feedback, it's a pleasure to be able to care for your father.
I wanted to review this care home as I feel it deserves a positive review. The staff are amazing and very attentive to the residents. The place is spotless and welcoming. The residents are out of bed every day and have access to emergency buzzers, in my experience this is not always the case.
Thank you very much for your positive review, I shall pass it on to the team.
My father moved here a couple of months ago and I have nothing negative to say at all about Liberton Care Home. The staff are professional, kind and caring and helped settle my Dad in. Nothing is a problem and they go out of their way to make sure my Dad is cared for and happy. I have found all staff, from senior nurses to the cleaners, to be pleasant and always go out of their way to say hello.
Thank you very much for such positive feedback, I shall pass it on to the team.
My niece was admitted to Liberton Care Home due to her previous care accommodation closing. She has settled into her new beautiful accommodation with ease. The staff from domestic, care and nursing have made her feel so welcome and appear to meet her every need. She has a busy schedule and again this is thanks to the staff who interact constantly with the residents and encourage them to use all the activities and many communal areas on offer. It is a great relief to the family to see her so comfortable and cared for.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We always welcome feedback from residents as well as their relatives and it is nice to hear everyone is happy at Liberton Brae.
My father has only been here a short time but I have nothing negative to say about the home. On arrival, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The staff on his unit are fantastic with my dad, nothing every seems to be a problem to them. I can see a massive difference in my dad, he is always clean-shaven and spotless. He seems very happy to stay there.
Thankyou for such positive feedback, we too have seen such an improvement in your Dad and its lovely to see. Thank you.
Liberton Brae is a lovely home with beautiful furnishings so clean and inviting for visitors. We came across from Fife to see her and there was an afternoon singalong with a lady singer and tombola as well. We thoroughly enjoyed singing along with everyone.
Just glad she is happy there and settled, we will get over to see her as soon as I have recovered from my injury. Fabulous Staff as well.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and so pleased to hear you had such a pleasant visit.
My mum's been in Liberton care home since last September, I was really upset about her having to go but couldn't ask for a better place, my mum's well looked after always clean and tidy and her rooms spotless, the staff are brilliant all really nice and all care so much for my mum. If I'm worried about anything I know a member of staff will have the answer. I wouldn't have her anywhere else.
Thankyou so much for your wonderful feedback I will ensure it is passed on to the team.
Our Mum was a resident at Liberton Brae from June 2023 till she sadly died on 20 January 2024. From the start the care and devotion of the staff was exemplary, they went above and beyond at every opportunity to enhance Mum's quality of life and happiness. The rooms are fantastic bright and beautifully decorated and furnished. There are lots of activities and everyone is encouraged to make the most of every day. The food is also brilliant and the chef would frequently make something especially for Mum to encourage her to eat. We viewed 20 care homes in the city before we visited Liberton Brae and it was by far the best. When it came to end-of-life care my sister and I were treated with such compassion and everything possible was done for Mum so she passed peacefully and with dignity. The staff had become like an extended family and some came to the funeral. This is a genuinely caring and lovely home in a gorgeous building. I could not recommend highly enough.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback, it was an absolute pleasure to care and support for your mum, and you and your family were very much a part of our home. Thank you
Rooms are always spotless and plenty of room.
Can’t wait until the summer so we can use the roof garden.
Thank you so much for such positive feedback, we also can't wait for the summer to enjoy the lovely roof garden
I, also have found staff and management to be very easy to talk to and to ask questions. They made the move for Dad and me so much easier than I ever thought it would be.
Can not fault them in any way.
Thank you very much for such positive feedback, we are delighted your Dad has settled in well.
The activities team keep her busy and interested with a wide variety of activities, painting, crafts and bingo which she enjoys.
The roof garden and outside pond are lovely to sit in and much enjoyed in the good weather. She loves getting her hair done at the in-house hairdresser. From the manager, to all members of staff they have provided a safe and very caring atmosphere.
Thankyou for your lovely comments, I will ensure they are passed onto staff, very pleased to hear your feedback.
Clean and friendly place, which my father appears to be settling into, although he is not mixing very much with other residents, but we are hoping this may change.
Thank you for your positive comments; I shall pass them on to the team.
From my first visit to look around I was very warmly welcomed by the manager and every single one of the staff. They are all so friendly and extremely knowledgeable and caring. The home is very clean and comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble, my mum is bed bound and staff will often spend at least 30 mins just chatting with her, having a laugh etc. I couldn’t wish for more.
Thank you so much for your positive comments. It is great to hear you are very happy with our care home and staff team. I shall pass on to the staff your lovely comments.
