Clarkston House has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10, based on 35 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Clarkston House has 35 reviews.
My mother has been in the home for 10 years since having a stroke. She arrived from hospital and is part of the furniture. She was still running the company before the stroke so we thought it would have been difficult for her to settle, however she was made welcome and settled immediately. Only one issue, the moving of staff around the organisation is difficult for her after she has made great relationships with them.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate all feedback! It's wonderful to hear that your mother has felt so welcomed and settled at Clarkston House over the past ten years. We truly value the relationships our residents build with our team, and we understand how...
Fantastic, curious and helpful is a few words I can say about the staff at Clarkston House, my husband has been a resident here for two years and I can not be happier with the level of care he gets everyday. I feel as if my husband wasn't in Clarkston House I don't think he would still be here. Nothing I ask for is ever too much . Thank you so much Clarkston House for looking after me also.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - I'm delighted to hear that you're so happy with the care that your husband receives in Clarkston House, and that we're taking good care of you too! Your kind words are much appreciated, and I will share them with the whole team.
It really helps knowing that Mum is being so well looked after as I know that the management, nursing staff, carers, caterers and housekeeping are all working together to provide a very high standard of care.
It is such a homely environment and not clinical at all, making it a lovely place for Mum to stay. Relatives and friends of Mum have commented on how fantastic the home is as the staff are so welcoming and friendly, plus Mum is looking well cared for.
The cleanliness of the care home is outstanding and I would say that rooms and all areas are cleaned to a very high hotel standard.
Any urgent medical issues have been dealt with in a very professional manner.
The daily activities always look fun and cater for every level of participant.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will pass on your comments to the whole team - feedback like this means so much to us! I'm really pleased to hear that you're happy with how mum is being cared for, and that all of her guests have been made to feel welcome.
The rooms are of high standard and all areas for visitors to use are always clean and tidy.
I believe that my mother in law is getting good care and we have no issues with anything.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! I'm so glad to hear that you're happy with the care that your mother-in-law receives, and that our team have made you and your family feel welcome on your visits!
On my first visit, I was welcomed by a beautiful friendly smile at reception by a member of staff. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the home was so impressive and knew the family had chosen the right location for my client and on first impressions, the staff member ticked all boxes for me and the care home are so lucky to have her there representing the company. I visit my client every Friday and if truth be told, look forward to my wee cuppa, which I always get and have a good blether with my client and the staff member too. Anyway, I take this opportunity to thank all staff for their courtesy shown and sign off by saying, you are all superstars and contribute greatly in giving the patients great happiness and joy at this stage of their lives.
Thank you so much on their behalf.
Thank you for your kind words, I'm so pleased to hear that your friend has settled in well and that you've had a warm welcome when you've visited. I'll pass on your thanks to all of the staff, it really means a lot to the whole team.

The staff here are exceptional professionals and people. I find them to be knowledgeable, thorough and nurturing. They have been supportive of me too. It's not easy seeing your mum decline. They get that and put an arm round you too.
In such a short time, care home staff have gotten to know my mum exceptionally well. They have created a thoughtful and insightful care plan that addresses my mums needs and beyond.
My mum is someone who always taken great pride in her appearance. The staff in Clarkston House have her turned out immaculately. It's lovely to see her looking so well.

Mum has been in Clarkston House for 6 months. She settled very quickly thanks to all the staff. Special mention to 4 staff in particular in reception. To be honest, everyone has been great, mum has been given great care which is a comfort to us. Mum loves her clothes, lipstick and personal care, everyone has made an effort in keeping her beautiful. Thank you.

The staff are very friendly and caring. They work hard. The home is clean and tidy. The choice of meals is appropriate and my mother has gained weight while a resident, which she needed to do.I would recommend this facility. I can't comment on activities as my mother does not engage with them.

My mum has been at Clarkston House for just under a year. Prior to this she was living in a retirement home and was often anxious and distressed in her surroundings. She has settled in well at Clarkston House, enjoys the companionship of the carers and other residents, and seems to be very well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are thrilled to hear that you have had a positive experience with Clarkston House Care Home. We are glad your mum has settled in well, and our team has helped her to feel comfortable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with...
I can't really express how impressed I am with Clarkston House. The facilities are amazing but don't let that blind you. The best thing about Clarkston House isn't the building, it's the people that work there. They are all fantastic and I'm so impressed with the level of care that they are providing to my Mum. Care homes are not all the same and the standard at Clarkston House is far superior to the other Care Homes I have visited.
Thank you for your kind review, we are committed to providing the best level of care for your mum and are thrilled you are so happy with your mum's placement at Clarkston House.
