Tantallon House is the cleanest home I have ever seen and has very, very friendly staff. The bedrooms are like bedrooms in top hotels, also the food is first class - very good! Cannot fault anything about Tantallon House (keep up the good work) and thank you for everything you are doing to make my partner feel safe and treat her with respect!
Thank you very much for your review. Very much appreciated. We are always very happy to see you visiting anytime.
The facilities were first class and the staff were of the highest quality.
My grandad was initially reluctant to go into a care home but later said to us that we couldn’t have picked a better place for him. He was happy and safe in his final chapter of life.
Thank you very much, Darren, for the feedback. Thank you for choosing Tantallon House to give care to your late grandfather. It was indeed with great pleasure to welcome the entire family at Tantallon House.
The atmosphere at Tantallon House is unfailingly warm and welcoming for both residents and visitors, and nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who are always caring and considerate and seem to have an excellent rapport with the residents. I am most impressed.
The staff are so kind and caring, the whole home is like a home from home. It is so warm, so clean and so comfortable. The food is really good, as well as the wonderful tea and cake.
The communication with staff is really good, and we all feel much more connected in my mother's life. There is a very useful app we can use, that is very useful in part of the general communication about my mother's daily well-being and care.
Please let us know anything you need moving forward.
This care home is excellent in care and facilities. The staff are so attentive and our dear Uncle more or less got one-to-one care while in as an interim patient. All the team are very attentive and friendly, this care home was lovely and for us as a family to know our uncle was getting the best of care and attention he needed. All staff go above and beyond. We were kept informed of any decisions or further care that was necessary. The food was an added bonus as they have a top-notch chef! Everything is freshly cooked on the premises and homebaked daily. We couldn't have asked for better communication and cannot praise this lovely care home and the lovely staff enough.
Thank you very much for the lovely review Eilidh. We are delighted that your uncle had a wonderful experience in Tantallon House. We wish him the best. Regards, Kirsty.

Meet the Team (4)

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.
