Mum strugled to fit in but over time she began to enjoy life at Fairview.

My father (Sandy) spent 8 months at Fairview House Care Home and was so well looked after and we'll be eternally greatful to all the staff for making his last few months caring and safe. So many activities and fun staff to go along with them. Dad was comfortable and at ease the whole time. Food,
cleanliness, staff and facilities were great. Thank you to you all.

My Granda has thrived since moving into the care home. He has put on weight, he takes his medications and enjoys some of the activities. The nurses and carers are second to none! They are so friendly and supportive.

My stepdad has been a resident here for a goo while now and I have found that he is actually thriving in this new environment. He looks well, seems far brighter and has put on some weight due to the care he has experienced here. Very happy all round.

My Mum & Dad moved into Fairview in 2017. They had 2 happy years together before my Dad passed away in 2019.
The whole team (admin, nursing staff, carers, catering, housekeeping & hairdressing) give 100% to look after the residents.
Catering provide excellent, healthy meals and Mum now enjoys her
food - even gets a cake on her birthday.
The activities team work at entertaining everyone with wide variety of activities every day.
The home is kept immaculately clean by the housekeeping staff.
Carers look after my Mums personal care and she is always well dressed.
All the staff are very welcoming to visitors- always a smile and warm greeting.
Nursing staff are excellent in communicating any issues to family.
I do not have enough space to say a big thank to everyone for my Mums care - I would certainly recommend Fairview to anyone who is looking for residential care for their loved ones.

My wife had to be admitted to Fairview following a catastrophic sub-arachnoid haemorrhage in June 2025. As you can imagine, this came totally out of the blue and was completely unexpected. Despite having gone through such a traumatic episode, we were faced with the fact that she would not be coming
home. I was a Senior Nurse so my expectations were extremely high. We chose four possibilities, but to be honest, in every way, Fairview was way ahead, and we were so pleased that Mum was offered a place at Fairview. From visiting other care homes , there really was only one which was streets ahead of the others - Fairview. My wife took some time to settle as she didn't understand that Fairview was her new home. Before we were leaving her we would tell a member of staff who came to be with her to make our departure so much easier. I am so happy with the standard of care, the facilities and just the whole feeling of homeliness. I can relax in the knowledge that my wife is well cared for.

Staff friendly. Cosy homely atmosphere at Fairview. I feel my friend is being looked after as dictated by her diagnosis. She specially enjoys the cooked breakfast as at present she is not eating much.

My relative has been under the care of Fairview House Care Home for almost 3 years and has always received the best of care and attention. The staff are always very supportive, caring and patient. Fairview is very welcoming for relatives and has a great open door policy.

Mum could not continue to stay in her own home safely, and so much research was done to make sure the best home was found. In my opinion Fairview nursing home is one of the best homes in Aberdeen, and so the family chose here for mum.
Mum enjoyed almost 6 months at Fairview. The staff all went
beyond the extra mile to make sure all their residents feel special and cared for. Mum needed quite a lot of care towards the end of her chapter and Fairview staff were so professional and caring towards her. The atmosphere at Fairview is so welcoming and you could turn up at any time of the day and always treated the same way, with happy friendly staff. They always made you feel welcome and could update you on any aspect of mums care and wellbeing. It was reassuring that mum was in the best place and family could relax knowing this. Mum was always presented nice and clean and enjoyed the meals. I would certainly recommend Fairview to anyone looking for that extra special place to stay.

My mum has been in Fairview since August at first she was not happy but as time passed she began to settle in. I think the staff have helped her settle in as they are so friendly and helpfull and nothing is to much bother. We have found that the home has a very good atmosphere and there is always
plenty of acivities for the residents to do.

When we start out, we look for the perfect care home (just as when we imagine our perfect boyfriend/girlfriend. As we mature we realise that no one and nowhere is perfect in the sense of having no faults, weaknesses, limitations...but don't give up on "perfect" because we CAN find the perfect person
FOR US and the perfect place FOR US. In that sense, Barchester's Fairview Care Home in Aberdeen is the perfect place for my Mam (for 3 years now). We, the Management and Staff, Residents, Family and Friends, are doing our best, working hard, being imaginative and creative, as a team, indeed an extended family, in the common desire to make Fairview House a HOME for our loved ones. Perfect homes should not be measured by facilities and brochures so much as by their vision, work rate, steady improvements, ambitions and loving care. So, all things considered, I am giving Barchester's Fairview Care Home 10 out of 10, and the 10 this time is even better than the 10 last time!

Delighted to visit Fairview yesterday & find decorations & lots of effort to celebrate my in-laws 65th wedding anniversary. They were made to feel so special & lots of staff & service users joined in. The cake, fizz & genuine warmth was very much appreciated & made the whole family including those
in N.Z., Australia and Canada all feel involved.

His health and wellbeing have improved greatly and we are very grateful for the care he receives and the amazing effort of the staff to provide care and support to him. Thank you all.

My brother who suffers from Parkinsons desease has bean a resident at Fairview for over a year, he has mood swings and mobility problems but the staff seem to keep him smiling, he is always clean and shaved and when he cant manage through to the dining room they take his meals into his room for him.
