Unfortunately, my mother passed away after only three weeks, but I knew well she was looked after.
Maryfield West has a very welcoming, homely ethos - when visiting I find all the staff friendly and cheerful, and you're always offered a cup of tea! I'm impressed with the efforts made by the staff to welcome my friend in to her new home and she has settled extremely well and is happy there. The staff clearly enjoy working there, know each resident well and are professional and caring in their various roles. It has been lovely to see rapid positive changes in my friend's health and wellbeing directly as a result of being so well cared for and she is also enjoying the home cooked meals and social activities on offer. It is a huge relief for me to know that she is safe and being so well looked after and I'm delighted with the high standard of care that Maryfield West is providing.
Thank You very much for such a lovely and thoughtful feedback. Your kind words truly mean a great deal to us and are deeply appreciated.
My son was asked by a lady who I thing has just put a relative into Maryfield West care home what he thought of the home. His reply was - it is a care home filled with love! My husband was a recipient of that wonderful care and love for two years. Not only were the residents treated with this care and love but so also were family and friends. They were made welcome at all times.
Kind regards
Maryfield provides an unparalleled level of care and love towards the residents; my mother is very happy there and we are thrilled with all they do for her: the activities, food, endless cups of tea, and constant (as appropriate) interaction, are all wonderful.
Dear John, thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that you feel our team provides a high standard of care for your mother. She is a pleasure to look after. I will ensure that your feedback is shared with the team . Kind regards !
My mother has been at Maryfield West for about 18 months now and I have been consistently happy and impressed with the standard of care she has received there. The staff are always extremely patient and friendly, my mother's room is always clean and tidy and she regularly reports to me how much she loves living there and enjoys the food.
Dear Leslie, we are pleased to know that you remain happy with the care given to your mother. We will remain committed to ensure she is given the best care in our home. I will ensure your lovely feedback is shared with our team. Kind regards!
Diana was very quick to reply to my initial email enquiry, even on her day off. The care and level of communication before , during and after the stay was was second to none.
We are very pleased to hear that you had a great experience with us and we home that your mother in law had a nice respite stay at Maryfield West care home. It means a lot to us to know that we made a difference to the family and we hope that Bill had a lovely holiday. Kind regards. Diana and the team at Maryfield West .
The home is very well run, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food is good and varied, and mum really enjoys her meals. There are also excellent activities organised regularly, which keep residents engaged and give them plenty to look forward to. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she is in such a supportive environment, and we are very grateful to all the staff for the care and compassion they show every day.
Thank you Julie for the kind feedback. Your mum is a pleasure to look after and we are delighted to have her here with us. I will share the feedback with the team. Best regards
Maryfield Care Home, Aberdeen has looked after my parents over a span of 9 years and they both received the utmost care and were shown respect , empathy and dignity . The staff are very caring and supportive not only to the residents but to the relatives too which in my experience has been invaluable. I would highly recommend Maryfield Care Home for your loved ones as the family atmosphere, low turnover of staff and the activities/ outings organised are excellent for the health and wellbeing of the residents .
Thank you so much Alison for taking the time to write and share such kind words about the care provided to your parents. We are truly touched by your message. We are grateful that we were able to support them and your family during such an important time. Your appreciation means a lot to our team and it will help us to grow and develop. Best regards!
days out for the residents which she thoroughly enjoys.
A real homely environment which I would recommend
Thank you Karen for taking the time to submit this review, your feedback is much appreciated and it will help us to improve further. It is a pleasure to have your mother in our home as she is truly special and amazing . Best regards!
My mother had been a resident in Maryfield for over 3 years & in that time she has received the best care for her needs. She is mostly bed bound now and requires everything done for her. The staff are respectful and attend to her at least every 2 hours.
Thank you so much for this lovely review Linda. It is pleasure to look after your mother and she is part of our extended family. I will share your feedback with the staff. Best regards
Dad is very well looked after and treated with dignity. Staff are always welcoming and friendly when we visit. Any health issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently. We feel reassured he is receiving the best care. Would highly recommend this Nursing Home.
Thank you for the lovely review Rhona, we are always aiming to provide bet care for your father. I will share the feedback with the team. Best regards
My lovely MIL has been a resident at Maryfield West for a couple of months now and we have been so impressed with the way that all the staff look after her, from the food, the room, the overall facilities and, most of all, the quality care and attention from the staff. They treat my MIL - and us - with such compassion and respect. Having a family member in a care home, who is in "end of life" care, is a stressful time, but the team at Maryfield West have made it a smooth, careful and comfortable experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Big thanks to Diana and all the team.
Dear Hayley, please pass our deepest sympathies to the family. We know that having a loved one looked after in a care home can be such an emotional journey and please know that our team did their very best to look after her with dignity and compassion. Your mother in law was a pleasure to look...
My dad was initially anxious about moving into Maryfield West for two weeks of respite care (for the first time) but he thoroughly enjoyed his stay there and the staff were fabulous. The care home was very welcoming, the food excellent and the care provided for was first class - again thanks to all the staff. We regularly visited him and were always warmly welcomed (including our border terrier Toby - he loved seeing his human grandad.). Thanks for caring for my father and making his respite stay special.
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback, Ian. It was great having your father in our home, it was a pleasure to look after him and we are very pleased that he had an enjoyable stay. We will welcome your dad again for future respite stays.
Before my sister moved into Mayfield West my niece and I looked at several homes. We both felt this was the home we felt best about. The residents are very well cared for, food is excellent and staff always friendly and smiling. My sister is very happy there and has no complaints.
Thank you very much for the lovely review Maureen. We are delighted that your sister is happy in our home and will continue to give the best care possible. Kind regards
I really could not be happier with the care my relatives receive at Maryfield West. They are cared for, respected, involved and are safe. The staff are all lovely, helpful and engaging. The facilities are great, the rooms are very lovely and they are all clean and well looked after. There is a great range of activities for residents, and opportunities for friends/relatives to be involved also, which is fabulous. The care home is also well managed and relatives are kept well informed. Overall I am very happy with my and my relative's experience with Maryfield West.
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback Catherine. We are delighted that you are happy with the care provided to your loved one. It is a pleasure looking after your relative and it is lovely to see that he has settled really well. Kind regards
We came to visit our dear friend who had moved into Maryfield West a week ago. She was in very good spirits, and although she can no longer live alone, she seemed very settled. The staff were attentive, finding a quiet place for us to chat and providing hot drinks. We spoke with the activities coordinator, who told us our friend had immediately taken part in a keep fit session as if she had been there for weeks. We spoke with her for quite a long time as she was keen to find out more about our friend and her interests.
Many thanks for the lovely review. We are very pleased that your friend has settled well in our home and it is a pleasure looking after her. We are looking forward to meet you again. Kind regards
I am happy with the way the care home is run. My partner is in good hands and being well looked after. Just could you tell the nurses that wash and dress that they use too much shower, at home the big bottle would have lasted at least 2 months, here it only lasted 3 weeks. Also I had to replace a new hairbrush and sometimes he is a bit smelly from the bottom. But these are only minor things so don't worry about it.
Thank you for the lovely review, we are pleased that your partner has settled well. We will make sure that the issue with the shower gel is addressed immediately
I am grateful for the care that this home provided for my mother in her last days. She was treated with respect and close attention. The staf were patient and kind and very solicitous of my motber's needs. They were supportive of my and my my neice's needs as her only family visitors in a trying time. We did visit a number of other homes, and this was the facility that impressed us with their facilities and levelmof care. Mum settled in well and was kept comfotable and supported in her final hours.
Thank you very much for the kind words. It was a pleasure looking after your mum and was nice to see that she settled in quickly. I will make sure your feedback is passed on to the team. Kind regards .
The team at Maryfield were very professional and friendly they made us feel very welcome. They were very helpful and no problem was too big for them. They felt like an extension of the family and advised us on all aspects of living there.
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback. Staff at Maryfield West will continue to do their very best to provide warm and kind care to our residents. We are thinking of you and the family and hope that you manage to get through the difficult times.
Mum loved joining in with the range of activities on offer and it has always been so impressive to see the effort made to include everyone. It has been so lovely getting to know all the team members each time we have visited from afar and we couldn't have wished for a better home for Mum to be cared in, especially when she needed it most.
My heartfelt thanks go to each and every member of the wonderful team at Maryfield for the care that Mum received.
Thank you so much for the lovely words of appreciation. We will truly miss your mum, she was a lovely lady. I will ensure that your feedback is passed on to the team.
