Mum moved into Tantallon House at the end of January 2026 when it was obvious that she could no longer look after herself at home. All the staff have been very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They have been very quick to respond to requests. Mum has settled in well and enjoys the view of North Berwick Law from her room.
Thanks you for taking time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that your mum has settled in well and is enjoying her new home and beautiful view from her room. It is wonderful to know that our team has made a positive impression through their welcome, friendliness and responsiveness.
The lovely team at Tantallon House have provided my Gran a safe and welcoming home when she was no longer safe to stay in her own home. She is the healthiest she's been in years, and while being in her own home would be her preference, I am comforted in knowing this is where she is safe, and importantly, made to feel adored.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are truly pleased to hear that your grandmother feels safe, welcomed and cared for at Tantallon House.
Dad moved into Tantallon House at the end of January 2026. He was welcomed with such warmth and friendliness by all the staff. Everybody introduced themselves to Dad, and he was made to feel as part of the community, rather than just a number. It took Dad a few weeks to settle into his new life at the care home but I think the main things that contributed positively to his settling were - the staff being so understanding of his condition (Dementia), treating him with dignity and respect, really listening and seeming interested in what Dad had to say and trying their hardest to make sure Dad had everything he needed. I had been caring for Dad myself and felt very nervous about 'handing him over' for someone else to look after. But the transition has been smooth and I know Dad is happy, and most importantly, safe.
Thank you for trusting us with your dad's care. It is a privilege to support him, and we look forward to continuing to provide a happy and safe home for him at Tantallon House.
Excellent in every area. Facilities and staff are first class. Mum could not be in better hands. From initial viewing to moving in the process has been seamless and I have no complaints at all. I would recommend to anyone.
Thank you Neil for sharing your positive experience. Team Tantallon continues to strive to deliver optimum level of care to our residents.
She loved her room & her view & she came to look at her placement as home.
Minimal issues were sorted out quickly & efficiently with management being very easy to approach.
We were extremely vexed to have had to move Mum onto residential care & thank everyone @ Tantallon so very much for both welcoming us as a family & keeping Mum safe x
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased mum felt comfortable and well cared during her respite stay at Tantallon. It's wonderful to know that our team helped make the experience positive for you all. Your kind words mean a lot to us.
My father was initially apprehensive of entering Tantallon House but the staff there went above and beyond to make him feel welcome and comfortable. His life is now vastly improved. Now he never wants to leave!
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased that dad feels happy and comfortable with us, and it means a lot to us to the whole team.
My husband has been a resident in the dementia unit since May this year. I have nothing but high praise for all the staff who are looking after him so well, with great gentleness and concern. The carers are always so kind, friendly and always smiling. They have shown me concern when I find myself having a difficult day coping with the situation my husband is in.
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear our staff have been able to support both your husband and yourself with care and compassion.
Very friendly when you arrive, also well secured so family are safe in their home. Rooms are kept clean and tidy all the time. Also loads of things to do here like pool table and cinema and other games and activities. Food plenty of choice. Only issue is when no one at front desk cant get in as family dont get number to enter.
Thank you, for your lovely feedback. We're glad you feel reassured about your family's care and appreciate your note about front desk availability - we'll look into improving this.
My nana has been in Tantallon since March 2025. She is very well looked after. The staff are all very friendly and nothing is a bother for them. They inform me of any new medicine given or when she falls or is unwell. The service she receives is 100%. I would highly recommend the home to anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that your nana feels well cared for and that you are kept fully informed. Our team takes pride in creating a safe and supportive environment where residents and their families feel reassured. Your feedback means a great deal to all of us.
We are delighted with the standard of care that Mum has received at Tantallon House. The staff are caring and helpful and everything has been done to a very high standard. It is wonderful to see Mum enjoying trips out and about again. It has been lovely to see her smile and sense of humour return due to the fact that she is getting so well looked after. She feels safe and very well cared for. The Activities team go the extra mile in providing activities to suit a range of interests. Mum's room is spacious and comfortable. It is great that there are a variety of spaces to use when visitors arrive. Visitors are always made to feel very welcome by the staff. Staff have all been super supportive right from the start of moving Mum into the home...both to Mum and myself. Thank you so very much.

It is wonderful to hear that your mum is enjoying her days, both in the home and on outings, and that her smile and humour are shining through again. Our care and activities teams will be so pleased to know that their efforts are making...
All the staff whatever their role, are warm, friendly, welcoming and approachable so that any query, problem or question that arises is dealt with promptly. The building is light and bright beautifully maintained, with so many dedicated areas - quiet rooms, games room, cinema, even facilities for private family parties. The residents' rooms are spacious and well-furnished and being able to personalise their rooms with items from home has helped my husband to settle in. He has been made to feel very comfortable and enjoys the excellent meals provided. The family very appreciative of the care he is receiving, and we know we made the right decision when we chose Tantallon House.
Thanks you for sharing such kind and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that your husband has settled in so well and that your family feel supported. It is wonderful to know that the homely environment, activities and personal touches have made a positive difference. Our team takes great...
All the staff and residents have made us all feel so welcome. Often she doesn't have time to see me as she is out for a picnic lunch, or a woodland walk! There are always engaging, stimulating and thoughtful activities planned and lovely quiet spaces to sit with a coffee too.
It gives me such peace of mind to know that all the staff know my mum and are so friendly and caring.
I feel very at home myself when I visit with my little dog at all times of the day, and am made to feel like part of one big family which is so important. Mum calls it home already and really enjoys all the good quality meals. She can help herself to fresh fruit salad in the morning and afternoon, but can also be tempted by the cake and ice cream trolleys that come round too.
I feel very lucky that Mum is getting to spend this phase of her life is such a lovely calm caring stimulating environment.
Thank you
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback - it truly means a lot to me. We appreciate you taking time to share your kind words and support. Its always encouraging to hear such positivity, especially from family.

Most importantly though is the staff, they are friendly and approachable. The medical staff, carers , cleaners, reception and management staff are all very professional helpful and lovely.
Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely feedback! We're really glad to hear you had a positive experience with the facilities and staff. Your support means a lot to us, and we're always here to make sure everyone feels welcome and well looked after.
My husband has been a resident here for one month, he is very happy and his care is excellent. The staff are so kind and treat him with dignity. There is a huge number of activities to suit every taste. The food is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tantallon House. I'm very satisfied with all aspects of his care.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Your kind words truly means a lot to us and help others feel confident in the care we provide.
Our mum was quite poorly when she arrived into Tantallon house after spending one month in ERI .. the staff were very caring and treated mum with dignity nothing was too much trouble .. We as a family took comfort that mum had the best care possible in the last few weeks of her life.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with our care home. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care, and knowing that we've made a difference means the world to us.
She is happy and feels.."At Home!!"

We thank you for your kind and thoughtful review of our home. Your words truly mean a lot to the entire team who work hard everyday to provide the best possible care. It's wonderful to know that you've had a positive experience and your support helps others feel confident in our care as well.
Staff have shown compassion, patience and kindness while mum settles and adjusts to her new surroundings. During this period, staff have been quick to respond to any queries or issues which were raised. As staff get to know Mum, they are understanding how best to provide the care that Mum requires whilst maintaining her dignity. Tantallon House is a bright and spacious care home which feels welcoming for residents and visitors.
Thank you so much for a positive feedback as we continually strive to deliver the optimum level of care to our residents.
The staff have been very helpful and kind. Mum is always well-dressed and comfortable. She is unable to get out of bed due to general weakness from advanced cancer.
I am very pleased with her care.
Thank you for your kind words, it means so much to us!
Mum has been a resident for over 4 weeks and we are so pleased we chose Tantallon House. Whilst this is a huge adjustment for Mum the staff have been so kind and caring, reassuring me and my family.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. It truly means a lot to us that you feel confident about your mother's care and well-being.
Choosing a place for a loved one's final weeks or months is such a difficult decision, but as a family, we are grateful to have had Tantallon House on our doorstep. We couldn't have chosen a more comforting, caring place for him.
Caring for others is incredibly rewarding. Your appreciation reminds me of why we chose this path, and we're grateful to have family who understands and recognises the heart we put into it. Thank you for sending us chocolates, such a kind gesture to all of us.

Crystal Soriano is a registered nurse by profession, recognised for her strong clinical eye, sound judgement and consistently high standards of care.
With over six years' experience in the care sector in Scotland, she has progressed from a Nurse to a Deputy Manager, and now a home manager. She has gained her nursing studies in the Philippines and gained broad clinical experience across medical-surgical wards, Accident & Emergency, and Intensive Care Units. She has further developed her practice while working in a military hospital in Saudi Arabia, strengthening her clinical judgment, adaptability, and decision-making in high-pressure environments. This diverse international experience underpins her strong clinical oversight and high standards of care within her current leadership role.
She has been nominated for Inspirational Care Home Manager 2025, and under her leadership, Tantallon House has been highly commended in the Dementia Care Awards 2025. These recognitions reflect her commitment to person-centred dementia care, strong team leadership, and continuous improvement in care quality.

Mart joined Morar Living at Tantallon House in North Berwick in 2024 as a Clinical Lead. Within one week of the internal restructuring, he was promoted to Deputy Manager when the Deputy stepped into the Home Manager role.
Through strong leadership, team development, governance improvements, and a focus on quality of care, we successfully elevated the home’s grades to 3 5s and 2 4s, a substantial improvement reflecting enhanced standards and resident outcomes.

Roxana chose to settle in Scotland in 2013, where she began working in healthcare. She has over 12 years’ experience in care, which has given her a strong foundation in compassionate, person-centred practice.
In 2020, Roxana enrolled at Queen Margaret University and completed her Bachelor of Nursing with Honours in Adult Nursing. Throughout her degree, she gained experience across a wide range of clinical areas, including cardiothoracic nursing, vascular surgery, high dependency units, and end-of-life care, and completed her degree with a speciality focus in vascular surgery.
After qualifying as a nurse, Roxana joined Morar in February 2025 as a Registered Nurse, focusing on delivering safe, high-quality care while building strong relationships with residents, families, and colleagues. As her confidence and leadership skills developed, Roxana progressed into the Clinical Lead role, and in November 2025, she commenced her current position as Deputy Home Manager.
This journey reflects Roxana's ongoing commitment to professional development, leadership, and continuous improvement in care.

Fiona started in August 2024 at Morar. Her background was mainly in hotel reception, but she had done a few years of care in the community. Tantallon is a perfect mix of both. Fiona's job role includes greeting guests to Tantallon, conducting show rounds, recruitment, assisting other departments with admin, answering calls, taking enquiries, preparing new-start welcome packs, staff and residents' files, uploading rota’s, and so much more.
