Over all time Cumbrae House Care Home has 51 reviews.
Most of the staff are okay, the management is useless. After asking them to call an ambulance repeatedly for my mother who had had a fall and couldn't move her legs, they advised me to come up the next day and take her for an x-ray myself. She had damaged her hip. Useless people.
We were never made to feel like we were intruding during the Covid-19 lockdown, no matter how many times we called or FacedTime'd. The staff were always willing to talk to us and inquire about our well-being.
Everyone made us feel so welcome in a great homely atmosphere. The staff took exceptional care of our mum, always willing to go the extra mile. The manager took time out of her busy schedule to say hello every time we visited and everyone made us feel so welcome in a lovely homely setting.
We will never be able to express our gratitude to the staff enough for making Mum's final days so serene and pleasant.
Thank you very much for the kind words, it’s always our pleasure.
Staff go above and beyond for all residents. Cumbrae House Care Home are fantastic at what they do. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect, a perfect example of a well-run care home. A special thanks to the manager for doing such a fantastic job with both staff and residents.
Recently becoming a resident after a period of being unwell, the Cumbrae House Care Home team have involved Dad in making himself 'at home'. During a difficult time with lots of pressures, including Covid-19, his confidence and communication have come on as everyone seems to work together at settling down. The manager and team have worked hard, regularly talking to all the residents and helping with communication with those outside and unable to visit.
Thank you for the continued review and support - we appreciate all comments which further develops our service/experience for our residents.
Since my elderly aunt was admitted she has come on great, she was always a private person, keeps herself to herself, but now she interacts well with staff and the other residents, eats a lot better than she used to. Overall is a lot better for being in Cumbrae House Care Home for her health and overall well-being.
Thank you for your support and kind words - as always it's our pleasure.
The manager is an angel.
God bless.
My stepdad went into Cumbrae House Care Home in June this year and I must say the staff and all who look after him are doing a great job. Really pleased with the care he is receiving, also contact with us as a family, when required, by the care home manager.
Care home is spotless. Staff are very caring and helpful nothing is a bother for them. My uncle is enjoying the care home he's very happy being well looked after and putting on weight, he goes to the shop for juice. Well managed home.
All departments have been exceptional!
Cumbrae House have been very accommodating to our whole family. Rooms are nice and staff are very friendly, helpful and patient. They have taken very good care of my grandfather. Very thankful.
Thank you for the feedback, it is very much our pleasure.
My father has been a resident at Cumbrae House since November 2020. The staff have been fantastic at making him feel at home and he tells me he loves being here. He has had a few health issues and they have been dealt with promptly and with lots of care. I feel that I'm always up to date with his care and all the staff are lovely and treat my dad with care and dignity.
Thank you for the feedback, it is very much our pleasure. Karen.
Cumbrae House Care Home staff look after my mum and keep her safe. They facilitate my visits and nothing is too much bother for them, the home and garden area are kept clean and tidy. All the staff are friendly and helpful.
The home is excellent, staff and facilities first-class. My wife is very happy here, I would recommend it to all my family and friends.
The comfort and care my uncle had received since he entered Cumbrae House Care Home in 2012 had been excellent. My uncle was able to choose his room and seeing him happy the day he first visited was a memorable moment. The staff had been there to comfort him during his ups and downs of his life and looked after him very well, by allowing him to live his life as if he had been in his own home. The staff had also been a great support to my father during the time his brother was a resident and could not have been kinder.
Thank you very much to the McFarlane family - there is no better compliment than entrusting your dear uncle to our care - we sure had some great moments along the way.
Can I book a place.
Thank you Paul for your feedback - it is our pleasure.
From the initial process of getting my gran's placement arranged to the ongoing care and support she received during her stay, we can't thank the staff at Cumbrae House Care Home enough. From the beginning of gran's stay until she sadly passed in Feb 2021, staff were very professional, knowledgeable and personable both in caring for my gran and in liaising with the family. During the first 2 lockdowns, we were still permitted a visit each week which meant a lot to us and gran. Any medical updates were communicated promptly and clearly to us. Staff were always willing to take the time to provide us with very regular updates on gran's wellbeing. When we were able to visit gran in her room we were very impressed by the conditions in Cumbrae. The communal areas were bright and clean as was my gran's room. There was no institutional smell. The facilities were well kept and the staff team truly cared about my gran's welfare. the service was above and beyond and I've recommended the facility to many people.
Thank you for the kind overview of the care and support your gran received while in our care, this was our pleasure to support you as a family. I will ass on your kind words to the team. Thank you, Karen
I would like to thank the manager, she took me in a year ago when I was ill and was having a very bad time. I have come on great. They are great staff and she has made this home lovely, so we can live here and enjoy our lives. The manager makes time for us so it is great. Staff are good. I have worked in homes and this home is great. I hope to stay here with everyone.
Thank you very much Mary - it is our pleasure and privilege to support you, your kind words mean a lot to us - Karen.
Recently at my visit, we got given the chance to use the screen for a hug which made my grand year so thank you.
We really do appreciate all the support from families and friends to our home - I will certainly pass on your kind words to the team - Karen
The staff in the care home go above and beyond ensuring scheduled visits, throughout this pandemic run as smoothly as possible, ensuring the safety of both resident and visitor. Whether it’s an outdoor or indoor visit, strict measures are in place. Always 2 meters apart, glass screen in position, face-covering secure and hand sanitizer always in use. I enjoyed a wonderfully emotional visit with my Auntie 23/12/20 Huge thanks to the care home manager for arranging the “cuddle curtain”. I’m told I was only the 3rd visitor to experience this and it’s absolutely intense and fantastic! To be able to hold Auntie’s hands, touch her cheeks, stroke her hair was just so overwhelming. I was overcome with tears and Auntie too, we haven’t been able to touch since March and feeling the warmth of her hands and her kissing my hands was just so momentous. It gave both Auntie and me, and the staff such a boost. Smiles and tears all round - so thankful for these precious moments. Thank you again for all the wonderful care staff!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted that you find the staff and the running of the home to be of such a high standard. The manager and her team will be delighted to receive your feedback and we are so pleased that the cuddle curtain gave you the opportunity to hold your...
My mum-in-law has been a resident in Cumbrae House for 3 years now and has thrived (as much as you possibly can with dementia) with their care. Since the start of the pandemic they have done their absolute best to keep all the residents safe and well and as soon as was allowed have facilitated outside visits. The visits are closely monitored to ensure visitors comply with all regulations, we appreciate how hard this task is but will be eternally grateful to them for keeping my wee mum-in-law safe and well. She had her 90th birthday last week and although we couldn’t see her on her special day the staff had a cake and a wee party for her and gave us pictures of her and a few days later when we could visit they arranged a wee birthday tea for us, yes it’s hard with no physical contact but if it keeps everyone safe it has to be worth it. To all the staff, you are all doing a great job and we appreciate everything you do we could not ask for any better care for her. Stay safe.
