Cumbrae House Care Home Reviews (51)
Cumbrae House Care Home has a Review Score of 9.3 (9.256) out of 10, based on 8 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Cumbrae House Care Home has 51 reviews.
However, I have to say that this home appears to provide a more than adequate standard of care at this level. Perhaps a little more of stimulating activities and personal contact with staff particularly in the absence of regular visits due to Covid.
My father has been a resident here for 2 years. In that time there has been an improvement in his general well being and he is very happy. The staff take really good care of him and they keep me informed of his progress which is very helpful as I do not live locally.
The care shown to my aunt improved her quality of life for the past five months. The staff were always attentive to her needs as she had vascular dementia. Sadly she passed away, and the compassion and dignity shown to the family at this sad time by all the staff in attendance was much appreciated.
I like this care home. The staff are so friendly and very helpful. My Dad is well looked after and he looks really good. He's always clean and so is his room. Before he went into care he was ill and spent so much time in and out5 of hospital. My Dad has been here a year now and not once has he been ill. Thanks to all the staff for their help.
In the few weeks that our father has been in Cumbrae House, I can't say we have had anything that we can complain about.
I really appreciate the kindness and care that the staff have shown to my mother and myself during some challenging times.
Most satisfactory the staff are most helpful as is the management.
The treatment of patients and visitors is exemplary.
As my brother says, "Cumbrae House is home from home".
Having placed my cousin with Cumbrae House, I have met with a very professional, efficient and friendly approach by both the manager, admin staff, caring services, who have treated my family member with dignity and kindness. As such, I have peace of mind in the knowledge that she is being well cared for and safe.
All the touches of home are there too; such as pets, home cooked foods and a delightful little garden area for the better days where the residents are encouraged to potter around caring for the plants. Classes in art, baking and singing are just a few of the activities on offer also trips out to the cinema local museums and botanic gardens. It's just like living at home without the worry of housework, cooking, hoovering etc.
It was a place I could leave my mother after each visit that I made, with the knowledge that she would be happy and safe and looked after with dignity care and love.
Mum is no longer lonely, is very well cared for as the staff in my view are wonderful. Nothing is ever too much for mum or us.
Mum has company every day and lots of activities.
I cannot thank the staff enough for making mums life so happy and giving the family peace of mind. I have no other experience with care homes, but I would put Cumbrae House in the top 5.
