My Aunt was very well cared for by all the staff at Duncraggan. Also, no matter how big or small the issue was, the staff would always call me to notify me of any concerns. Every time I visited the home, Norma was very well presented.

My mother was transferred from another care home in Johnstone Renfrewshire where she was staying in her room almost every day for nearly a year.
I managed to get her moved to a more suitable care home near where I live and Duncraggan was ideal for her needs.
She's been there since late August 2025
and has been enjoying the facilities of the care home and its staff since day one.
She's never in her room unless she's going to bed at night.
The almost instant change in her appearance and her personality has been fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
The staff are outstanding and it always has a very pleasant atmosphere.
You know its a good place when you can see so many other residents looking happy and content.

Wonderful, Caring Staff at Duncraggan Care Home
The staff at Duncraggan Care Home are truly exceptional. Their kindness, patience, and dedication shine through in everything they do. From carers to support staff, everyone treats residents with genuine warmth and respect.
It's was huge comfort
knowing our loved one Helen was in such safe and caring hands. Thank you to the entire team at Duncraggan-you make all the difference.

Staff offered excellent, attentive care for my father, we were kept fully informed, and he was very happy. The facilities and rooms are very good. Visiting times are very flexible, and staff are always happy to help.

My dad was transferred here after a lengthy spell in hospital due to his ever increasing dementia. I had visited the home the day before his intended transfer to put some familiar items in place for him, then he was unexpectedly re admitted to A and E this delayed his arrival here for a week, this
was not a problem to the care home and his room was kept for him. On his arrival at the home it was just amazing, every member of staff is lovely, they really do care about their residents, nothing is any trouble. The home itself is well maintained, kept spotlessly clean, warm and homely. I am so glad my dad is being looked after here 10 out of 10!

My mother moved in on March 2024 due to her requiring full time care. She was local to the home so this made it easier for friends and family to visit, some of the care workers knew her personally so this was also a benefit. She was a bit confused at first with her new surrounding's but the care
workers showed experience in getting her settled in. She tells me everything and all the care workers are good. She is always in the lounge area with fellow residents which is good for her. The nurse always contacts myself with any medical updates and permission for any injections my mother may require. They have entertainment shows which helps her as she likes a good singsong. The food always looks good anytime I visit and there's always tea and cake whenever she likes. She has her hair done most weeks and always looks tidy and clean. Its getting harder for the care workers to move my mother as they need two people due to her physical disabilities but they always seem to cope.

My dad was in Duncraggan Care Home for a planned 10-day respite stay while we were getting work done in his house.
Dad wasn't keen on going in, even for just a short time; however, our family can't thank the staff enough for making him feel so comfortable and at ease during his visit; they made him
feel like part of the family.
Both the management and every member of staff were excellent from start to finish making our job of getting everything done from him coming home a lot easier.
Again can't thank them enough.

Just want to say a big thank you to all the managers and carers at Duncraggan Care Home. My mum has lived there for a number of years now, as did my dad who spent his last days there. In unprecedented times during the COVID-19 pandemic, the staff have been exceptional in the care of my mum. I live
south of the border and have not been able to get up to visit Mum. The staff have kept in touch with the family informing us about my mum’s well being and they have kept the residents safe during this time. They make a special effort to keep up morale. They are always there for their relatives too. A heartfelt thank you to you all.

Mum, spent the last ten months of her life in this lovely cosy, homely care facility. She had a good rapport with nursing and care staff and was looked after extremely well.
In her last days, she received excellent palliative care and the staff were very supportive to myself as I stayed with her in
the 3 days before her death, offering food and drinks and a lending ear. She was treated with dignity and respect and I'm grateful to the staff who took over her care when it was no longer feasible to do so in her own home. It allowed my brother and myself to start regaining our own physical and mental health after years of caring and getting our own lives back. Many thanks to all at Duncraggan for all the kind care shown to my mum.

All carers and nurses have done a great job looking after my mum until she passed away two weeks ago but the area manager gave my mum ice cream when she was nil by mouth. We as a family are not happy and are taking this further.
22 February 2019
My mum has been a resident in Duncraggan for a number of years. During this time she has been very well cared for by all staff. Recent changes with the new manager and staff team, the standard of care has been improved to an excellent standard.
In my job, I spend time with people with additional
care needs. I would want my mum cared for the same way as I would care for her myself, the staff at Duncraggan give exceptional care, attending to detail like personal care, clothing, warm and safe environment, that means a lot to us as a family. A big thank you to all the staff and special thank you for the recent introduction of family events e.g Hogmanay, burn supper that gave the opportunity to enjoy special time with mum in a social event, she could interact and enjoy with her family.
I would recommend Duncraggan to anyone who wants to know their loved one is being cared for to an exceptional level of care. Thank you to all the staff past and current for providing the best care for mum.

My Husband has been a resident at Duncraggan Care Home since September 2016.
He is receiving excellent care of a very high standard. The staff are very friendly and helpful they cannot do enough for my husband and I.
They have an excellent manager, but every member of staff is so good to both my
husband and myself, we are treated with the utmost of respect and dignity. This is important as it makes me feel less stressed and can enjoy visits with my husband.

A very friendly welcoming home where my mother feels safe and secure. Staff are very helpful and caring and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely garden to sit out in where they make every effort to make as colourful as possible for everyone to enjoy.
06 June 2016
I cannot describe the support from Janine and her staff throughout the last 18 months. Not only looking after my mother but involving my father in every way they could, allowing them to maintain their close relationship to the very end. They were all instrumental in making their final months
together amazing and memorable in equal measure.
I would recommend this friendly, caring residence to anyone. Your loved one will be cared for and cherished.
