My mother was in Boclair Care Home for 4 years due to her physical care needs. Our family were always made so welcome when visiting her, including with our dog. Our family have happy memories of taking her to the garden area in the summer, chatting with her in the foyer area with a cup of coffee and taking her to see the Easter chicks in the activity area. The care home felt new, clean and fresh, the food was excellent and lots of activities were offered. She loved getting her hair done there and had all the home comforts she needed. She was treated with tenderness, dignity and respect throughout. Knowing she was safe, cared for and surrounded by staff who genuinely knew her gave us enormous comfort. We will always be grateful for the dignity, respect and humanity with which all staff supported her right to the end. We would highly recommend Boclair Care Home to other families.

Mum has been a resident in Boclair for almost 3 years. In the time she has been there, despite having severe dementia, she has thrived.

I believe Boclair to be one of the best care homes. The personal and nursing care my dad received there during the period November 2025-May 2026 was nothing short of excellent. Although he took a little while to settle he was beginning to participate in weekly activities and forming bonds with residents and staff. I myself stayed in the care home for twelve days during the time when my dad's health was declining to the point where he sadly passed away. My sister and I were accommodated in rooms upstairs, and were treated with incredible kindness and compassion by everyone. What I observed during my time there only reinforced my general impression that Boclair and the people who work there place each and every resident at the heart of everything they do. A huge thank you to you all- you are doing a wonderful job and will not be forgotten.

Thank you very much for such kind words, It was an aboslute please to care for your lovley husband and to get to know your family in this time. I will share your feedback with the wider team.

On the whole staff are very kind, patient & care well for the resident's needs; however staffing ratios in the unit could be improved to attend to needs (e.g being taken to toilet) more quickly.

I am pleased to hear your positive comments regarding the environment, facilities, activities, and the kindness and dedication of our staff.I also note your feedback regarding food and individual preferences. Providing person-centred care is a key priority for us, and I will share this with our catering and care teams to ensure we continue to tailor meals as much as possibe to individual residents' needs.
As a family we are delighted to have found such an amazing care home for our mum. We struggled initially with the idea of our mum having to go into Boclair after spending so long in her own home, but the care, compassion, empathy and friendliness of every single member of staff has been far beyond...
I can thoroughly recommend Boclair for anyone thinking of long term care for their relatives.
Thank you for this lovely feedback, it is great to hear that you feel mum has settled so well in our care. It is an absolute pleasure to care for your mum and to get to know yourselves as a family. Feedback will be shared with the team who work directly alongside mum.
Boclair is a lovely care home and the staff are amazing. It is a huge relief to me that Mum is so well cared for.

It is a great pleasure that mum decided to stay at Boclair on a permanent basis following her repsite stay. I am delighted that mum being in the care home brings a relief to yourself and your family that mum is well cared for.
The surroundings are indeed of a high standard but this does not take the place of good staff to resident ratios particularly during the night, consistent standards of care, good communication...
Boclair makes HUGE statements but sadly we didn't experience what was promised.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I am truly sorry for the loss of your Mum. I am saddened to read that your time at Boclair did not reflect the standards or values we strive to uphold, particularly around consistency of care, communication, and how concerns were addressed. We use a dependency-based approach to guide our staffing levels, which is reviewed as part of our regulatory oversight; however, I fully recognise that this does not always reflect how support feels in practice for residents and families.I appreciate you taking the time to share such honest feedback, and I would genuinely welcome the opportunity to speak with you to better understand your experience and learn how we can improve. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
I have pleasure in submitting this review for Boclair Care Home. Mum has now been a resident for five months Initally Mum struggled to settle in as she thought her stay was to be temporary, after four months Mum realised that allthough her choice would be to be back in her own home, due to her...
The value of the warm welcome she received from the staff and managment should not be underestimated and this went a long way to relieve the anxiety she felt when first arriving at Boclair. The nursing staff, carers, laundry, domestic, catering and hairdressing services are all first class and could not be better. There is also a visiting optician, dentist and chiropodist which provide great service to the care home residents.
Thank you very much Diane for your kind words. Its is a pleasure to provide care and support for your mum. I will share this review with the whole team. Best Wishes Karlynn + Laura

I feel very fortunate to have found Boclair to look after my Aunt during the final two years of her life. She settled in incredibly well, helped by the happy atmosphere about the place and displayed by every member of staff from the managers on down. The facilities always felt like a 5* hotel and she never had any complaints about the quality of the food. There were always a variety of activities for those that wanted to participate, which was encouraged whenever possible. Above all however the standard of care was always exceptionally high with great respect shown during her final weeks.
Thank you very much for your kind words Ewen, it was an absolute pleasure to care for your Aunt during her time at Boclair.

The standard of accommodation & food is excellent. What is clearly most valued is resident centred care, & that really shows in the approach & overall atmosphere at Boclair.
Thank you very much for your kind words, I will share this with all of the staff involved in caring for dad.

Boclair Care Home was the perfect place for Mum to enjoy some much-needed respite. From the warmth on display during the initial assessment to the welcome when settling in, there was a very personal and personable approach throughout. The quality of the home and mum's room in particular was first class, with lots to do (optionally) between meals, which were varied and nutritious. There are also lots of breakout rooms for peace and quiet - plus when the weather is good, the outdoor spaces are fantastic. Mum enjoyed her stay - so much that she returned for a second spell of respite. Highly recommended. Thanks to all the team.
Thank you so much for your kind words Brian, it is very greatly appreciated. I will share all of your feedback with the team. It is an absolute pleasure to be mum's choosen place of repsite and to be a continued support to you and your family.
Dad was transferred from hospital to Boclair Care Home for end-of-life care.

Dad was transferred from hospital to Boclair Care Home for end-of-life care. This was primarily to enable Mum and Dad to be cared for in the same place during his final days as they had never been apart in their sixty-nine years of marriage. Mum was in Boclair for respite care during Dad's time in hospital. We, as a family, will always have a deep sense of gratitude to the management team (particularly the then-manager) for speedily facilitating Dad's transfer to Boclair when it became obvious that he required a greater level of nursing care. This was carried out quietly and efficiently by staff who showed real understanding of what is important in a person's final journey. They also cared for Mum and us, as a family, with compassion and empathy. After Dad died, Mum became a full-time resident and continues to have excellent care within the 'Boclair family'. We remain thankful to have found such a welcoming environment for Mum to be part of and warmly commend the services and care at Boclair Care Home.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and we are very fortunate to have a very kind and dedicated team who take great pride in caring for your loved one ensuring that they are supported and treated with dignity and respect. We welcome and encourage families and friends to be a part of our Boclair family and to play an active part in their loved ones' care.

Incredible service since my gran moved here in 2023. The staff have been excellent and shown a high level of care. They are super personable and have gotten to know my gran (and us, as a family) really closely. Three-course meals at lunch and dinner, excellent activities and engagement. The standard is more like a five-star hotel than what I would have imagined from a care home! Thank you for everything you do.
