Dad has just moved into Selkirk House following the death of his wife. This was a move of over 100 miles, so a huge change on top of his loss. However this move has been made so much easier and smoother by all staff at Selkirk House.
From the initial contact with the wonderful admin staff to the
pre assessment with the deputy manager, we were made to feel so welcome and that Dad's needs and happiness were all that mattered to them. Dad's room was repainted before his arrival and some furniture removed so that he could bring his own bits from home. The room is very spacious, a flat really, with a spacious wet room, two built in wardrobes and a large storage cupboard as well as a kitchen area so Dad can make a drink for himself or visitors if he wants to. Everything is centred around dad, and what he needs and his care plan can be changed at any time to suit him. The meals are amazing, tasty and plenty of choice. Every member of staff we have met are friendly and very happy to help.

Mum has recently moved into Selkirk House.
From pre-assessment to move in everything was put in place. Training for diabetic was arranged. There was a lovely welcome basket with mums favourite things.
Mum is settling in well. I have not scored every area as mum has not been there long enough.

I cannot express in words good enough how wonderful Selkirk House is. It's clean, staff are friendly and very caring. They cannot do enough for you. Food is excellent. The rooms are very comfortable with everything to be 'home from home'.
The activities are interesting and popular with quizzes,
crafts and guest speakers and singers to name a few.

Best decision we made for mum to live at Selkirk House. Excellent all round. Staff are amazing, management approachable and very helpful, even arranging new flooring to be fitted to mums rooms, which looks fantastic. Mum has settled well, she's been there for over 2 years. Thank you everyone at
Selkirk House - food is excellent.

Selkirk House, manager and all of the staff are so supportive and helpful. There's an absolutely happy atmosphere throughout the home. It is always welcoming and beautifully decorated inside and out from the entrance through and into the lovely garden. Great selection of activities.
My mother
lived in Selkirk some years ago. My friend of 93 lives in comfort ad security. Cared for with dignity and thoughtfulness. Its a wonderful care home.

Having spent almost 12 months at Selkirk my mother remains extremely settled there. She is always grateful for the wonderful care the staff provide and is happy and contented. When she has experience some health issues the staff have provided support to her her overcome these and keep the family
informed of any concerns.

My mother passed away in Selkirk House recently. She had been unwell for some time. The care provided by the staff was exemplary. Additionally, the team working between care workers, nurses and her GP was beyond reproach. My mother remained comfortable, pain free, loved and supported until the end.
The compassion shown throughout provided the family, her friends and me with complete confidence that she was in good hands. In the days following, the Home have been similarly supportive. Losing my mother has been devastating, but Selkirk House could not have done more to ensure she passed peacefully. Thank you.

My father suffered a fall and was taken to hospital on his return to Selkirk House, he was given a wonderful 'welcome home'. The staff have all been amazing. They are so kind + loving to everyone here and very attentive to all of my father's needs. The care is excellent. The facilities immaculate. I
cannot fault the facilities and feel confident that when I am not here my father is being well taken care of.

Since mum moved in last September she has settled really well. The care staff are all so caring and helpful. If we have any concerns we can always talk to someone. Many staff go above and beyond to care for the residents and their happiness is infectious to the residents happiness + wellbeing. We
definitely made the right choice in Selkirk House very happy.

My dear friend has recently moved into Selkirk - this was my first visit.
I found it welcoming and friendly.
I happened to be there when a residents meeting was taking place - how lovely that everything was shared with them and their comments received. I have answered the questions relevant to my
visit - no food activities etc. My friend is VERY happy!

Dad moved into Selkirk in August 2021-It was the best thing that we ever did. The wonderful team. "Purple Angels" took the best care of Dad and made his final 3 years the best possible. He had dementia and we were struggling to take care of him. We both did not want to have Dad in a Care home but we
are So glad and thankful that we did this. Dad and
I had a wonderful time at Selkirk and I can't thank them enough!

I can not praise the staff and general organisation at Selkirk House highly enough. The level of care and empathy given to my mum is just wonderful and most importantly Mum never stops saying how happy she is to be at Selkirk. A heartfelt thank you to all the team!

We are delighted with how well Mum has settled in at Selkirk.
The care team is exception and nothing is too much trouble. There is such a positive atmosphere in the home which is lovely.

Mum has been in 15 months and during this period I at last am at peace, that she is safe, happy and well cared for. Also, Mum's care has had to be adjusted as her needs change and I appreciate the regular call to ensure/check that needs are identified and covered within her plan.
Change is the
enemy for old folk, but all change is carefully managed and new routines established, even if Mum is getting confused now.
In December Mum was depressed as this was the time of year we nursed Dad through end of life and a carer spotted this and was attentive to the change in Mum. Also appreciate seeing carers get positive feedback from the manager.

My mum moved into Selkirk House at the beginning of the year. I am delighted with the care and attention she received and every member of staff I have encountered has been extremely kind and caring towards Mum and myself. Mum's room and all the communal areas of the home are clean, tidy and well
looked after. There are activities provided every day with which Mum can join in if she wishes to. Overall, I am very pleased that we chose this home for Mum.

My mum has dementia and has lived at Selkirk House for 18 months now. From the outset mum has received such wonderful care. Indeed, she has settled into life at Selkirk so well we couldn't be more delighted. The staff at Selkirk are all so kind and supportive, patient, attentive and this is extended
to us as a family. Mum feels safe, happy and truly well looked after. Mum's room is always clean and tidy. The kitchen staff provide a varied choice of delicious meals. The activities team ensure that there is always something interesting and fun to participate in. From quizzes to visits from alpacas. There is always a warm and cheerful atmosphere and laughter to be shared with staff and residents alike. Thank you Selkirk House.
