My father, who has dementia, became a resident at Kintyre House in 2023, and I have been extremely pleased with the care he has received. While his condition has naturally progressed during this time, the standard of care has remained consistently excellent. Most importantly, he is clearly safe,
comfortable, and well looked after, which gives us great peace of mind.
There has been a change in the management team recently, and the improvements have been very noticeable. There is a strong sense of organisation, leadership, and commitment to high standards, which is reflected in the overall quality of care provided.
Our son, who is a paramedic, visits many care homes-most of which rely heavily on agency staff who may not know the residents well. He is always reassured to see the same dedicated and familiar team caring for his grandfather as when he first arrived.
Although we live some distance away, we visit regularly, and the staff are consistently excellent at keeping in touch.

Found the staff friendly, caring and helpful in settling my auntie into her new home, and to mix with other residents. She enjoys the entertainment and trips. We feel she is safe there.

Kintyre House has been a Godsend. I don't have to worry about Mum as she is in the best place. She gets on with the carers and patients, and they get on with her. My mum seems happier in here than at home and I cannot thank the staff enough.

My father is a long term resident st Kintyre House. Although our overall experience in the past has not always been good, with the most recent change of Management we have seen a huge improvement in the way the home is run. Nicola is exteemely approachable, very caring and clearly focused on
providing an excellent service for all residents. The current area manager is very supportive. Some improvements are still required with the building itself but there are moves afoot to resolve these issue.
On the whole the staff are lovely and most give their all to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of the residents.
The current chef is doing great and the meals are much better than they were given that he uses fresh produce rather than processed.

My father has been a resident for five years and during that time I have been happy with the way all the staff have contributed to looking after dad from helping him to settle in and continuing to adapt to dad's needs as they change. The staff all treat dad with dignity and kindness. I am pleased to
say that a lot of improvements have recently been put in place at Kintyre, including higher levels of staff, improvements to the building and garden and better communication between management and relatives all of which have made a positive difference. I feel welcomed by all the staff and enjoy chatting to the other residents and since our new activities co ordinator started a few months ago dad and I have enjoyed taking part in the fun activities.

My husband has been a resident of Kintyre House since Feb. 2024.
The care and respect he is given from staff and management is wonderful. I can't thank them enough.
All done to a very high standard. Most important he is safe, secure and content, every need taken care of in a calm and happy
environment.
I would highly recommend Kintyre House.

We are both very happy with all aspects of care, which we find to be of a high standard.
If we have a problem, we need only to discuss it with the staff for it to be quickly resolved.

My aunt has lived in Kintyre for a number of years. In that time, she has become increasingly frail and her needs more complex. The staff at Kintyre are caring and compassionate and have adapted how they support my aunt as her needs have changed. They have always responded positively and speedily
when I raised concerns and I can tell from the way her face lights up when carers enter the room that she feels safe, valued and loved by the people around her. The activities on offer vary depending on what the residents enjoy and how they are feeling on that day, but what they have in common is fun and dignity. In the last few weeks, my aunt has been really under the weather, and I will never forget the heartfelt compassion shown by staff. This is what we want for our loved ones - to know that when we are not able to be with them, they are with people who show them love and are there with them when they are at their most vulnerable. It is the staff that makes Kintyre special!

I have visited this care home regularly throughout March 2023. The staff are all friendly to me and very caring to my mum, who is a resident, now bedridden. She is checked on regularly, and her position is moved frequently. I couldn't ask for more care for her, and I am very happy with all aspects
