Review from Lynne W (Wife of Resident) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A daunting prospect of gigantic proportions having to move your husband into a care home, especially when he is very much against the idea.
All of the worries and fears evaporated however when I took my husband to visit Northcare Residences.
His opinions changed on that very first visit and he moved
in shortly afterwards in February 2025. The home is elegantly decorated, both in the public areas and the bedrooms/ensuites and is immaculately clean. Amongst the many amenities on offer there is a brasserie which welcomes residents and their families/friends during the day, a lovely space to use when visiting. Adjacent to this there is also a roof top terrace for use during the finer weather that Scotland is renowned for!
The management and staff are truly welcoming, professional, caring, kind and cheerful. After a recent hospital stay, my husband was actually looking forward to "going home" - Says it all really.
Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences StirlingThank you for your review and for sharing your thoughts with us. It is so important to us that Northcare Residences, Stirling is a home from home for everyone living here and their families and that everyone always receives a warm welcome.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I and are regular visitors to a resident at Northcare Stirling.
Since our first visit which was more than a year ago, we have been continually impressed by the facilities; the care provided; the attention to detail shown by staff and, most of all, the level of kindness and care shown by
the staff.
I have visited a number of care homes in recent years, and Northcare is head and shoulders above all of them. Indeed, many of my friends have remarked it is more like a luxury hotel than a care home.
It is a credit to the sector in every respect
Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences StirlingThank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are delighted that you find the facilities impressive and that the care and attention to detail provided by the team is of a high standard.
We very much appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you at Northcare Residences, Stirling soon to visit your friend.

This care home is just THE absolute BEST care home there is especially in the Stirling area. Myself and my Brother looked around various care homes for my Mum and none came up to this North Care care home's level of exceptional care. They are all friendly staff and dependable. My Mum, despite having
Vascular Dementia, is very very happy there and is totally well looked after so we as her children are very pleased as not an easy job I'm sure. Both reception staff and the manager Robert are lovely, amazing and friendly staff too.

Cannot recommend this home enough, from the minute you walk through the door there is a calm relaxing ambience and welcoming environment. All the staff are friendly and attentive with nothing too much trouble to them. Mum has settled in beautifully and it really is a home from home environment where
her comfort and care is the staffs priority and always at the forefront of their minds. We are indebted to the staff for the kindness and dignity shown in looking after mum and the encouragement and assistance given particularly at mealtimes with exceptional standards of food provided. We are indebted to everyone for making our daily visits and time spent with mum special and memorable in all ways.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care my mum is receiving at this home. The place itself is beautiful - tastefully decorated, calm, and immaculately clean, which immediately gives a sense of comfort and reassurance.
The staff are truly exceptional. They are warm, friendly, and kind, and it's clear they
genuinely care about the residents. This means so much to us as a family.
The food is of a very high standard, and there is an impressive range of activities every day. Residents are never left sitting idle - there is a wonderful balance of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social, activities that keep everyone engaged and involved.
Communication has been excellent throughout. The staff keep both myself and my brother fully informed about any health or settling-in matters and always go out of their way to ensure mum is cared for to the highest standard.
We are extremely grateful for the care, professionalism and kindness shown to mum and highly recommend this care home.
Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences StirlingThank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're truly grateful for your kind words and are delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our team at Northcare Residences, Stirling.

Review from Jenny K (Relative of Resident) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Northcare staff facilitated a cinema experience afternoon to allow us to have more family time for what is our relatives first Christmas there. Angela couldn't have been more helpful in the organising process and communication was excellent as always. The staff provided cinema snacks and treats along
with mince pies and coffee for afterwards. They even supplied our fussy 7 year old with his favourite caramel shortbread. This allowed us to let the kids stay and spend more time with loved ones without worrying about them distracting other residents (Xmas is a very excitable time). The care and compassion shown by all staff for our family member puts our minds at ease that she's safe and well supported.
Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences StirlingThank you so much for the lovely review. It is our pleasure to arrange cinema experiences for families at Northcare to allow you to enjoy quality time together. Delighted that the snacks and drinks were well received by everyone too!
The team strive to ensure the care delivered is always to the highest standard and will share your kind words with the wider team.

Review from Pauline B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was welcomed as a resident in North Care residences at the beginning of the year with an advanced medical condition, which had suddenly changed his plans to live independently with family support. We, his family, were initially anxious and quite fearful for my dad's well-being and future care.
I
can only say that all staff, including the visiting GP, have been incredible throughout. Dad's medical needs are on-going and quite complex and the devotion to getting him the right medical care for his ever changing condition has been truly amazing. Nursing staff always go the extra mile to keep my sister and I informed.
Staff are so kind and attentive - we can tell that they all really know our dad; they "hold his hand" and chat away to him when he needs a little TLC. and treat him with such dignity.
To sum up, at the end of a recent short hospital stay, dad said to our brother that he was looking forward to "getting home to his second family" You can't do better than that.
Reply from Angela Reid, Front of House Manager at Northcare Residences StirlingThank you so much for your heartfelt and thoughtful review. We are truly delighted to hear that you and your family are having such a positive experience with us. Your kind words about our staff and team of doctors mean the world to us as we take great pride in ensuring that our residents and their families feel valued and cared for. The team look forward to continuing to care for your dad and your family.

Generally an excellent Nursing Home. The facilities it offers are in a class of their own. The level of care, compassion and detail are impressive. The Staff are helpful, compassionate and always have time even when they are under time pressure. Communication is excellent at the managerial and nursing
staff/care level. One relatively small comment would be the bedroom size is quite limiting if one is a wheel chair user but it is adequate. Generally my Mum and all the family are very impressed and happy with Northcare Stirling and their hard working staff.

Moving a parent into residential care comes with a huge responsibility to get the best possible outcome. For us it was not about all the extras Northcare provide, and the facilities are excellent. We simply wanted the most comfortable environment for dad and the best possible care for him. We have not
been disappointed.
All staff have gone above and beyond to understand dad's personality, meet his care needs, work out his likes and dislikes, and just make him feel as comfortable as possible.
Staff always have time to update us on how dad is and their feedback comes with genuine warmth and empathy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently moved my father from a different care home to Northgate Care Home in Stirling, and can not emphasise what an amazing move it has been. All the staff from initial meeting them, reception, manager, care staff, nurses, staff nurse, hospitality have been lovely. There is a real focus on care,
dignity, respect and treating the residents as guests. Due to the kindness and care my father transitioned from his old care home to this one with no difficulty and stress free.
The actual decor of the home is beautiful and has been cleverly selected, much of it looks like what our loved ones or their parents would have had in their home which gives a sense of familiarity for the residents.
Any issues, queries are quickly dealt with or answered. Good communication helps to ensure dad is getting the best care.
There is a very good mix of activities on offer and what I like is there is a wide range of physical exercise at different times.
Five stars

The nursing staff and carers have a consistent high standard in taking the time to know my father.
They also have a genuine interest in providing for his needs and make time for conversation and interaction with other residents.

Whata relief to find a care home like Northcare - more like a hotel than a nursing home, with friendly and attentive staff, easy parking and access, brand new and modern facilities, large and spacious rooms and communal spaces, fully flexible approach to person-centred care and making my wife's room

After an initial visit, we decided that Mum would have a short respite stay in Northcare Residences. She has now had two visits, each lasting a week. She has only good things to tell us about her stay. I have also been very impressed with the facilities, and the professionalism and kindness of the staff.
Mum has particularly enjoyed participating in varied activities and she has been impressed with how welcoming the staff are to all her visitors.
We are pleased that we chose to go ahead with a respite stay at Northcare. It has been very straightforward to make all the arrangements from first contact to collecting Mum afterwards.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 47 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
