My husband has now been a resident of Almond Valley Care home for five months. He has settled in so well, he has found an additional family. The home is spotless and the care shown to my husband is amazing.. There is always a lovely atmosphere in the home which is due to the kind caring staff led by the manager who definitely leads by example. Then there are the activity co-ordinators who bring the home alive and full of fun. Every week there are themed activities when the residents, families and staff join together to play games, chat, laugh and bond like families do. The chef does a great job and produces tasty food and fabulous cakes which we all enjoy in the cafe where we all get to know each other. The care home do a full monthly review on my husbands health and feed back to me which is very comforting. I can now visit my husband and leave him in the home knowing he is settled, stimulated and well cared for and I can get back to living my life.

Staff are great, the care given is a high standard and they communicate well. My mother has changed for the better since she has been in, and at present she hasn't been well, the staff have ensured that the GPs have been contacted to review my mother's condition!

My Mum has been a resident since March 2025. Would highly recommend Almond Valley Care Home, it's not a "home" it's a five-star hotel. The staff always go above and beyond the call of duty, nothing is too much trouble, they always make sure every resident is included, the care and compassion is second to none, they are all amazing, giving peace of mind. Family members are always made to feel welcome. Trips/Activities are not just for residents, family members are always included, helping make cherished memories.

Our experience with Almond Valley Care Home has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were struck by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by every member of staff. Not once have we had a negative experience - the team is consistently attentive, kind, and compassionate, treating each resident with dignity and respect. The home itself is beautiful, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to meet the diverse needs and comfort levels of its residents. The environment feels more like a home than a facility, with comfortable living spaces and an adaptive approach that ensures each individual feels safe, seen, and supported. One of the standout features of Almond Valley is its incredible activities team. The ladies go above and beyond to engage residents with daily activities, outings, and special events - always with a personal touch. They take the time to understand each resident on a personal level. Highly recommend!!

As a family we've been thoroughly impressed with Almond Valley- it has exceeded all expectations and felt truly welcoming from the moment we walked through the doors on our first visit. We visited several care homes in the area before deciding on Almond Valley and it feels like we made the correct choice. Every member of staff we is very caring, compassionate and respectful to our Dad and all of us. It's not an easy decision to put a member of your family into care and the Almond Valley team have been there to mop up our tears and offer guidance and advice as we've gone through this journey. The facilities are amazing from the People's Cafe where you can take your loved ones for a cuppa and where there are always fab cakes to munch. To the onsite cinema, hairdressers, lovely gardens and quiet rooms. Then there are the fantastic activities coordinators who constantly have engaging activities to suit every persons needs, all of which family members are encouraged to participate in.

From the very first contact with Almond Valley the whole experience has been excellent. The management and staff are very, very good. The facilities and infrastructure are superb and the communication is perfect. I cannot recommend Almond Valley highly enough! A great choice for my mother and the family.

The staff at Almond Valley have brought joy back to my mum's life. I have been moved to (happy) tears watching her thrive and finally find fun and excitement on a daily basis. All physical and emotional care needs are met in a timely manner. I can leave my mum knowing that she is loved and cared for like a family would. Open communication is a definite strong quality at Almon Valley. A wonderful experience overall.

My mother has been a resident at Almond Valley since late November 2024. So, we have had a good number of weeks to assess every aspect of the care home. The management team are excellent. They have dealt with all the family in a professional and friendly manner. The nursing staff have been thorough and attentive. They have also been very good at keeping us informed of any medication changes or medical issues regarding Mum. The care staff have also been great, looking after Mum in a friendly manner. All in all, I am very satisfied.

Almond Valley is a lovely, homely place for my Mum. The staff are absolutely brilliant, and as a registered nurse myself, I recognise good care when I see it. Nothing is too much trouble, especially for Mum and our whole family. Going through a recent traumatic bereavement, we very much appreciated the support given to us all. I'm very happy that Mum is well cared for in a supportive and friendly environment. Thank you.

My dad arrived into Almond Valley a very frail man who was bedbound. The care and support he has received is beyond expectations. It has taken a while but he is now very settled. The team take care to do things at his pace, making sure he is comfortable and happy at all times. With their support and encouragement, my dad is now able to walk short distances. My dad feels safe, happy and at home at Almond Valley. Initially, I thought Almond Valley was a little pricey, but the fact is, you can't put a price on having the best quality of life possible for him. All I can say is a big thank you to all of the team, the difference you have made to my dad's life is fantastic.

My dad was a resident until the end of January and was the first one to move in. The care and attention he received were second to none. His last 4 months living in the care home were full of fun. The activity coordinators are fantastic and put on so many activities for the residents. All the staff are lovely and made sure we were included in any decision making. Mum was invited to outings also which was lovely for her too.

When the time had come to choose a care home for my mother who has Alzheimer's, I always thought I would visit various homes before making the decision but as soon as we started the search at Almond Valley the search ended. Not only did the place look fantastic and is spotlessly clean but the staff immediately made us feel this was the right choice and a place where my mother would thrive. We receive regular calls with health and well-being updates which really puts our mind at ease. The staff have made it easy for my mother to settle into the home, and daily events keep my mother occupied and engaged with others. The events coordinators are fantastic and post regular social media updates so I can see what activities have taken place and I can see that my mum is enjoying her time in the home. It was a tough decision to put my mother into a care home at the time but it is 100% the correct decision and Almond Valley is 100% the correct choice.

Almond Valley Care Home is a clean, bright, caring and happy home, the activities and social aspects of the care home shine through with regular outings and activities planned daily. The activities team are incredible. The home is modern and kept immaculately clean. All the staff are friendly and approachable. The carers and nurses do an amazing job. My mother-in-law has Alzheimer's and we struggled as a family to give her the care she needed. It was a tough decision to make but Almond Valley made it easy. From the moment we met the staff, we knew she would be well looked after and in safe hands. She has settled in well and it's peace of mind now knowing she is cared for and is safe. I can not recommend Almond Valley highly enough.

Mum was a resident at Almond Valley Care Home until January 2025. The care and experience she received was exemplary. She was looked after so well and we as a family had every confidence in the staff as a whole. Mum engaged in some of the social activities and loved having her hair done. The manager was so approachable, caring and compassionate and always had time for us. We would highly recommend Almond Valley to anyone looking for care.

The staff are all welcoming, friendly and approachable in all areas My mum is well looked after and there are lots of activities for them to do and mum is always looking happy and enjoying herself in the photos I see of the daily activities that they are doing. I can see that Mum is getting great care which relaxes me in knowing that she is in a great care home and cannot thank them all for the care she is receiving. Can't praise the staff enough.

Beautiful home with lovely facilities and caring, enthusiastic staff. There are always different events or projects residents are encouraged to be involved in and one-to-one time doing whatever the individual wishes. Overall excellent care.

Very caring staff with contact made with me (as Power of Attorney for my relative) to constantly update me with health issues and socialising so that I have felt reassured as to my relative's care and well-being. The accommodation is lovely and I have no issues or worries so far that have posed any problems for us at all.

I couldn't have chosen a better care home, for my husband, the whole team go above and beyond for him and myself. I can leave him, knowing he's in the best and safest place and that he'll be well cared for, which puts my mind at rest, he was the first resident in the Almond Valley care home, in Livingston. The team made his first day so special for him, the whole team are amazing and I can't thank them enough.
