Over all time Liberton Brae has 45 reviews.
I have found all members of staff very professional. They are caring and ensure that my mother has the support and care that she requires. Not always the easiest of patients they were quick to build a relationship with her and make her feel that she and her needs matter. I could not ask for better care and on the days that she is upset when I leave feel assured that she is being left in good hands!
Thank you for such kind and positive comments, very pleased you are happy with the care and support at our home.
Think she has settled in very well in the short space of time and speed in which she was moved. Concerned at the time as she was still recovering from her fall but needn’t have worried as she was being looked after very well. The staff are very kind and helpful and feel confident that she will be okay when we leave her.
We are pleased the move went well. Thank you for such positive comments. I shall pass them on to the team.
Checking my dad into a care home was something I put off several times, but in the end, I had to do it so he was safe. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I have no regrets and only praise for the wonderful team at Liberton Brae. They are special people. My dad - who I thought would never settle away from his own home - is content and happy.
The rooms, communal spaces, dining experiences, and activities are all great but what makes this a real home is the care and heart of the team. Thank you to them all.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I am so very proud of our team and our home and I am delighted your dad settled in so well.
The team have done a fantastic job in settling my father into Liberton Brae and he is clearly responding well to the dedication of the staff. The staff have been most attentive and give me regular updates on his status. Everyone’s professionalism is much appreciated.
Thank you for your positive review, we were delighted to care for your dad and I will pass on your kind words to staff.
The staff at Liberton Brae Care Home could not have done more to ease a difficult situation. The support, reassurance and guidance provided has been invaluable, all within a very short timeframe, and the care given is thoughtful and exemplary - from every member of the team.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review of our new care home. I will ensure your lovely comments are shared with the team at Liberton Brae.
