I have found the care in Drumdarroch House for my mum to be excellent. The staff are really kind and caring. The rooms are always spotless and the food looks very appetising. Mum is unfortunately unable to participate in the varied activities going on but really enjoyed the recent Summer fete. We admired the lovely flowrs which have brightened up the entrance.

As a family we are very happy with the care home and all the facilities. All the staff and management are friendly and helpful and there is always activities to do if you wish.

I did a great deal of research before choosing Drumdarroch as a care home for my aunt and my mother, of seven other homes in the area, Drumdarroch was so fare ahead on several counts that the decision was easy. Nothing has changed my view in the six years since. Care is compassionate. The staff are patient and supportive, even when one of my family member residents is difficult, as she can be. The fee is high. The peace of mind it brings the family is the benefit.

My Mum has been a resident for 9 months . She is well looked after always clean and well dressed The staff are so kind and caring and they have so much compassion and patience with Mum. Drumdarroch staff make you so welcome when visiting with a cup of tea and a home bake. The Care Home is so clean and tidy and the gardens are beautiful.

I really can't say enough about Drumdarroch, the staff are exceptional. The genuine care and compassion they have with each and every resident shines through on every visit I make. There is nothing that is too much and great effort is made to show each resident how important they are. I have been visiting Drumdarroch for 2years now with my Therapet so have got to see staff in action and see how they pull together as a team to make the residents have a good experience every day

My mother has been a resident for almost 4 years now. My overall experience has been very positive and I feel reassured that my mother is getting well cared for in a secure and friendly environment. I would have no hesitation in recommending this well-managed care home to any other families looking for a caring nursing home.

When looking for a care home for my Mother-in-law, Drumdarroch was our first choice because of the reviews and we were thrilled when she was offered a place. Sadly, my Mother-in-law only had 10 months living at Drumdarroch, but in that time was shown love, care and kindness that you wish for. My Mother-in-law settled very quickly in Drumdarroch and thoroughly enjoyed her time there. She often spoke about the kindness of the staff and loved the food in the 'restaurant'. The family would also like to thank staff for their kindness when she passed.

My granda has been a resident for a few months now and we are very happy with his care. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

My mom moved to Drumdarroch from a previous really bad experience in care. The difference is absolutely amazing. Like night and day! Calm, efficient, bright, cheerful and well managed. Albeit early days and mom is not ready to engage in activities. I am sure with the support offered she will soon be joining in. I really feel we have found the ideal home for my mom and look forward to lasting relationship with all the staff at Drumdarroch.

Very well cared for in her final days. Made very comfortable and staff very caring and efficient.

Unbelievable. I was so taken back by the close team work. I now have a real understanding of the dedication of the staff members I now feel so much more relaxed about my wife's life and the amazing care given to all residents.

I have been visiting Drumdarroch for several years with children from a nearby nursery setting, to share intergenerational sessions with the residents which are enjoyed, and engaged in, by all generations. The staff have always supported our visits and we feel welcomed, nothing is ever too much trouble. Seeing relationships form between children and residents is wonderful! I, along with the children look forward to our weekly visits, thank you so much for accommodating us!

My mum has been a resident for a few months and the care she has been given has been great, everyone is very kind friendly and helpful when asking questions.

I can honestly say that all the staff at Drumdarroch Home managers, nurses, carers, cleaners right through to the maintenance person are a fantastic team, so helpful, and nothing is too much bother for them. The home also has a very high standard of cleanliness. There always seems to be some sort of entertainment/ activities going on as well with plenty of food and refreshments throughout the day. I would thoroughly recommend Drumdarroch to anyone looking for a care home for themselves or a relative.

Since my mum became a resident, she and all our family have been made to feel so welcome and included. Their motto is 'If this is your mums new home, it is also yours' - and that is exactly how we have been made to feel. The management, nurses and carers always stop to say hello and engage in conversation. Nothing is ever too much for them. They have certainly made the hard decision so much easier.

As my mother only just moved into Drumdarrock House this review is based on her welcome. The manager and staff have been most helpful and welcoming. My mother's room was arranged by ourselves but there was a lovely welcome card and flowers given for her arrival. Since then we have had only the best attentive updates on my mother's current stay and very grateful to have found her a room.

Welcoming! No matter when I visit my aunt I am always made very welcome. Drumdarroch has been a "live-saver" not only for my aunt but myself also. She has such good care, that I feel safe to go visit my family without worrying about her safety. It's been treated with a makeover recently so it is modern, fresh and a good space wherever you turn. All the staff are friendly and professional. As well as indoors the outdoors are tidy, pleasant and now solar panels too!
