Mearns View Care Home

He urgently needed to go into a care-ful home but needed somewhere that was completely sympathetic not only to his mental problems but also his need for quiet solitude, respect and old fashioned courtesy. He could not have gone anywhere else as excellent. I am hugely grateful.

I find all staff very helpful my father in law has been in the care home for over a year and is very settled

The person I visit does not always want to join in activities if this could be encouraged it would be great.

Over the past few months, my dad has started to settle into life at Mearns View. He suffers from Parkinson's Dementia, and requires nursing care at the care home, including 1:1 personal care, assistance at mealtimes and help with his mobility.

There are some incredible carers at Mearns View - and my dad has built strong relationships with the superstars that shine in their passionate, professional team. Management are a breath of fresh air, welcoming feedback and always making sure my dad is happy, comfortable and enjoying his experience at the home.

As with everything, there were some niggles to begin with - but we've got to know the team and they've gone above and beyond to get to know my dad and his daily routine.

Overall, the home is bright and contemporary, clean and has an array of facilities on offer, including a hair/beauty salon, cafe, lounges and cinema room. The gardens are also well maintained, and lovely to walk around when the sun is shining.

My husband is always very clean, well presented and enjoys great vegetarian meals thanks to the home's amazing chef. And his modern, en suite room has everything he could ask for.

Mearns View is a welcoming care home which caters for residents with a variety of needs. Management and care staff work hard to form positive relationships with residents and their families to ensure care is of a high standard. Regular meetings with residents and families to identify strengths and areas for development to be built on/addressed are held which are effective in listening to different opinions and suggestions. Facilities are well designed to make residents feel at home, e.g. each room is en suite, all floors have small dining rooms and lounges. Communal spaces are also available such as the cafe, hairdresser and garden where residents can meet and interact in larger numbers. Food and drink is varied and available at all times, catering for residents' needs and tastes. My Mum is settled in Mearns View with carers who make sure her needs are met. Their genuine care and support for her, and us as her family, is much appreciated.

She is now thriving and is in the best physical and mental condition i have seen for a long time, well done and thank you :-)

My Mother Doreen Caldwell aged 97 has been resident at Mearns View Care home since 1st of March 2024. Doreen suffers from Dementia and poor mobility. She is well cared for at Mearns View and all the staff are lovely , professional and very kind to my Mum.

My Mum moved into this care home in April 2025. Since then, her dementia has worsened, involving full incontinence. The carers have been unfailingly respectful and kind towards her, they have been super-attentive, too, and her room and bathroom are always clean. The home always contacts me when she has a fall, or any small incident, and they've accompanied her to hospital too. The other areas like the garden cafe and lounge, are always immaculate. Recently they helped us give Mum a small party for her 84th. I feel that my Mum is being properly cared for by friendly, caring staff.

My elderly mother has been a resident in Mearns View since November 2024. My mother needs some help and support with most daily activities, and she can be quite unsteady in her mobility. We have been very impressed from the outset with the fabulous care my mother has received. The environment is homely and comfortable, and the decor is of a very high standard. What stands out, though, is the staff. The staff deliver a high standard of care (and I recognise my mother can be difficult). They are patient, kind and caring - we could not ask for more.

Mum went into respite for 3 weeks. Excellent staff, friendly, supported and made mums stay very pleasant. Would highly recommend.

My dad moved to Mearns View 31-3-2025. He was in another home for 5 nights which was totally unsatisfactory. He is very happy and settled in Mearns View. I have found all staff, management, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff and events team to be very kind, caring and so helpful. I am very glad my father resides at Mearns View and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My father moved to Mearns View a couple of months ago and so far we are very very happy with the fantastic care provided. Facilities and food are very good.

My mum joins in the activities, enjoys her meals and has a small group of like minded friends. In addition she gets her hair and nails done regularly. She has a lovely room where she can rest, do her crossword or watch TV.

My mother in law was admitted in May. The Care Home immediately assessed her needs and responded with appropriate level of care she needed. This has been reviewed daily as they got to know her and her needs changed. We are updated with any changes. The staff are very attentive to her and she has settled in very quickly. The care home has very high standards of cleanliness, very comfortable, food excellent.

We enjoy coming to visit our friend who is a resident. The staff are always very friendly and encourage us to take part in activities going on. The professional care our friends receives is first class. We want to wish every one a Happy Christmas and a good New Year.

Anyway, I've just left the folks having joined them for coffee at a karaoke sing-a-long this morning - what a beautiful energy in the room. Everyone's spirits were so high and it looked like Mum and Dad had made quite a few new friends. We were definitely hogging the mic at times though so I apologise for what I thought were harmonies. I'm removing Islands in the Stream from my karaoke repertoire, the staff will be glad to know.

My thanks to the manager and his team, they all play a part in creating a vibrant community.

My mother spent three weeks in Mearns View recuperating from a knee replacement. Mearns View were very accommodating and flexible in arranging the dates, both entry and departure. All of the staff were unfailingly helpful, kind and courteous. The atmosphere was always friendly and my mother's recovery time passed very quickly for her.

My wife has vascular dementia and I am her carer. I was hospitalised and required respite care for my wife during my stay in the hospital. I am delighted to say that the care provided was really exceptional. The home provided a pleasant stay for my wife both emotionally and medically providing the support that my wife required. A well-run and absolutely perfect care home that met all my requirements, above and beyond their normal duties. Very professional and caring in all aspects of care. Would highly recommend Mearns View to anyone seeking care.
