Kilfillan House Care Home is without doubt (judged on previous care home experiences!) Exactly that. The care kindness, humour and above all the dignity that is shown to my father is exemplary. We cannot thank the wonderful staff enough.

The ambiance of the place is good. You feel it as you walk in. Plus the staff above all seem kind as well as being efficient.

My mother has been a resident of Kilfillan House Care Home for the last 3 months and is settling in well. The staff are brilliant. They always have a smile and are looking after mum extremely well. The accommodation is very good, mum's bedroom is light and airy, and nicely decorated. The food is of
a very good standard and plenty of it. If anything the portion sizes could be a little smaller as mum struggles to get through some of the meals. However, she thoroughly enjoys the afternoon tea and cakes. I feel very reassured that mum is being very well cared for and I can't thank the team enough. They are amazing!

My mum moved into Kilfillan House for respite care in June 2025 while we searched for somewhere permanent nearby. She had lived independently and then with me, but needed more daily support. We tried another care home, but although it was newer and had more facilities, it felt more like a hotel than
a home Mum could settle in. Kilfillan House immediately stood out for its warm, homely atmosphere and caring staff. Mum has settled in well and I'm always reassured knowing she is being looked after by a dedicated team. I'm particularly impressed by how they've encouraged Mum, who is quite shy, to join in with activities, helping her feel comfortable and included. My visits are always positive, and I appreciate being welcomed in too. I would certainly recommend Kilfillan House to anyone looking for a true 'home' for their loved one.

Mum has settled in well and seems happy. I prefer it if she is with the other residents in the lounge even if she is sleepy. It's great that she is encouraged to take part in games etc. I am very happy with Kilfillan, it's very homely and comfortable, and the majority of the staff are excellent. I
would highly recommend Kilfillan.

My dad stayed at Kilfillan House for a short two week period to allow my mum some much needed respite, and we couldn't have asked for a more caring and compassionate environment.
From the moment he arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive, providing an outstanding level
of care. The home itself felt warm and welcoming, with a lovely atmosphere for both residents and visitors, and the food was varied and clearly prepared with care. Despite only being there for a short time, my dad formed genuine connections with the staff. When it was time to leave, he became very emotional, as everyone came to say goodbye and made him feel so valued and cared for. We are really grateful to the team at Kilfillan House and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for compassionate, high quality care. We would not hesitate for a moment to bring my dad back should the need arise.

Our mother spent 5 weeks at Kilfillan House before she passed away and throughout her stay we were very impressed and grateful for the kindness, professionalism and care that she received from all the team at the home. They made mum's last few weeks bearable and we will always be thankful to them.
29 September 2025
From her arrival at Kilfillan House until her death two weeks later my mother was cared for with kindness and obvious expertise. Just as importantly, her visitors were always made welcome too. Many thanks from a grateful family!

Kilfillan House Care Homes provided the perfect care home for mum. It is a warm, relaxed and welcoming environment. All the staff are friendly and compassionate. We felt our mother was extremely well cared for and we were truly grateful for all the support they gave to her and to us.
23 September 2025
My mum 's stay at Kilfillan was just three weeks until she died but she was in the best possible care. My family is very grateful to each and every member of staff for the professionalism, kindness and compassion they gave us and my mother. Everyone - nursing, admin, cleaners - was exemplary. Whilst
end of life is never going to be an easy process, I can't imagine it could be any better than the one provided by Kilfillan. Thank you.

This was my father's 2nd respite stay here. It was great to see so many of the same friendly caring staff as were here 2 years ago on his last stay. There is a really happy atmosphere amongst the staff who clearly know the residents well and they really understand my dad's needs and gave an
excellent level of care. The catering and facilities were also very good with varied menu and nice lounge and garden. Would definitely recommend.

My mum has had a very happy life at Kilfillan House. She has been a resident since Sept 2024. The staff are well qualified and friendly. The accommodation is spotless and comfortable. My mum sadly passed away suddenly this month and the help and support I have received is 5 star! Although my mum's
mobility was zero, she never missed the abundance of entertainment provided in the lounge. The cooking is all from fresh ingredients, top quality.
14 July 2025
My mother is a resident at Kilfillan house, and I have found the care and compassion shown to her has been wonderful. All of the staff that I have been in contact with have been courteous, knowledgeable and, despite being busy, always happy. They have been good at passing on information to me and
other members of the family. I have no hesitation in recommending this home.
11 July 2025
The house put on a picnic for all the residents and their family. The staff were brilliant they took time to make sure everyone felt special and entertained. The food was wonderful and very thought-out. Thank you each and every member of staff for such a special day.
18 June 2025
Although our father's stay at Kilfillian Care Home was brief - just three weeks before his passing - our experience with the staff and the care he received left a lasting and positive impression on our family.
From the moment he arrived, we were always greeted with a smile, and there was a genuine
atmosphere of compassion throughout the home from all staff. The care was not only professional but deeply personal. The nursing staff in particular were proactive, attentive, and responsive to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and treated with dignity every step of the way.
What meant just as much was the support offered to us as a family. During a very emotional and difficult time, the team was there for us too - with empathy, reassurance, and consistent communication.
Thank you to everyone at Kilfillian Care Home for making those weeks as peaceful and comforting as they could be.

Kilfillan House is a pleasant building with a smart new outside seating area and a welcoming entrance area. The room was a moderate size - a little dark but a lovely view of a cherry tree. I was particularly impressed with the warm welcome Dad received on arrival and Dad said that the food was
excellent and the staff attentive and kind. Some minor improvements - Dad said the bedroom floor was slippery when wet. It was also sometimes a little hard to get information before admission. Thank you to all the staff who took such good care of dad.

During my two week post operation stay, I felt well looked after and very comfortable at Kilfillan House. I had a full knee replacement, so initially needed a lot of support and found the staff kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I was always treated with dignity and respect and felt very welcome from
the moment I arrived.
26 May 2025
My mother stayed at Kilfillan House post a knee replacement surgery for 2 weeks. The care was just what she needed, and the staff were kind, attentive and very supportive. They were also very knowledgeable in terms of managing her pain relief and other medical side effects of the operation. The
support staff were also welcoming and always offered me a cup of tea, and were happy to spend time talking to us.
25 February 2025
We are grateful for all the kindness, comfort and care my husband received while residing here for palliative care.
29 January 2025
After 3 months my wife is still receiving excellent care and attention at Kilfillan House.
One highlight was Christmas Day when I was invited to dinner. The staff set up a festive table in the conservatory, and the chef and her team served up an excellent meal. Any request we have made has always
been dealt with.
