I had no experience of Care Homes until June of this year when I had to find one for my mother, I visited several and chose Braehill because it is small and welcoming.
My concern is that my mother does not get enough physical activity. It seems there is a staff shortage and therefore difficult to
find someone to accompany her round the garden. She can still walk using her frame and ideally I would like her to get outside for a stroll at least 15 minutes a day, weather permitting.

Strong management team. Good communication with staff, take pride in their work. Easy to speak to. Always given a good welcome. Family have total confidence in the care given. They are also supporting the family. They give us peace of mind. They provided the best care for our relative on a daily
basis. Making them comfortable, safe and not ignored. Also seeing ton their personal and medical care. Treated with dignity. The rooms are clean. Laundry is kept up to date. Meals are sufficient. The garden is easy to access and move around. Various activities are held throughout the year. Overall we as a family are very satisfied with Braehill Lodge.

I am so impressed by the care, dedication and kindness shown by all the staff to residents and families. There is a welcoming, homely atmosphere, and staff have gone above and beyond their remit for my mum many times.

Father-in-law joined Braehill Lodge Care Home, after removal of home care, at his request. He enjoys a wonderful room and ensuite shower and has wonderful views over the town and beyond. He has customised the room with pictures, posters and furnishing from home. Having suffered a stroke, he was
relieved to enjoy good surroundings, good care, food and friendly, caring staff.
I am relieved that he is comfortable and happy, as is the rest of the family. He is 93 years old.

All staff understand the needs and care required for each resident. A warm welcome is always given to relatives. They are excellent at keeping me informed of any changes in care requirements. All staff are well trained, organised and provide a high quality of care in a happy and warm environment.

Braehill Lodge is clean and well maintained. The home has a friendly and warm atmosphere. The room my sister is in is bright, clean and well kept. It is plenty big enough for her. I have found all the staff to be helpful and caring. The senior carers are always available to listen to and act on any
concerns. All staff members always greet you and speak to the residents with respect and warmth. There are a variety of activities on offer and my sister has enjoyed everything she has participated in. She particularly enjoyed going out on the Trishaws along the seafront and having an ice cream. Inside activities appear to be as fully inclusive as possible. Other family members who often phone always get to speak to her and when they recently visited commented on how pleased they are that she has settled in well and is happy to join in with things. I am happy to recommend Braehill Lodge as an excellent care home option.

Our was mum here for just over 2 years and in that time she was greeted with a friendly smile and treated like family. The staff are exceptional, nothing is a bother and in the last few weeks before Mum passed she was cared for with dignity and compassion.
We cannot thank the manager and all her
staff enough for the comfort they showed to all the family.

Braehill Lodge has been and is a wonderful place for my parents to enjoy at this late stage in their lives. The staff treat them like one of their own. The rooms are bright, clean and fresh. My parents always look well-groomed, clean and happy. I've never had to complain, as my relationship with any
staff has always been open and friendly. A wee gem!

Very caring and friendly staff, who work well as a team and create a family-type atmosphere in this small residential home. The home is modern, clean and tidy, creating a cosy and friendly home for residents. The management are involved, approachable and communicate very well with the resident's
families and visitors. A wonderful little residential home, in a lovely setting.

Extremely happy with the care given to mum who passed away a couple of weeks ago. She was in Braehill Lodge since July 2020 and she was well cared for in extremely challenging times. She had dementia and I think went downhill pretty rapidly through no fault of the care home. The pandemic was a big
cause of this.

The home is a very welcoming place. It is the perfect environment for elderly residents. The staff is very helpful and caring. The management keeps you up to date with the personal welfare of your loved one. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to anyone.

Braehill stand out because they provide a warm and caring environment for all residents. Each resident is treated as an individual and with dignity and respect at all times. They work hard to provide entertainment throughout the day and there is always a happy atmosphere. The residents' welfare
appears to be their primary focus. The carers are very skilled and experienced, they are patient and supportive of residents and their families.

I find the staff at Braehill Lodge from the cleaners right up to the manageress. Very caring in all that they do for my husband. They keep me informed in everything that's they do for him in keeping him as comfortable as possible.

I have been extremely happy with the care given to my mother in the time she has been in Braehill. The staff are always cheerful and ready to help. Meals are always varied and enjoyed. Surroundings are clean and comfortable. There's always varied entertainment.
05 June 2019
I drop in to visit my mother at various times and days of the week and am impressed by the consistent high standards of care and genuine affection of staff towards all clients.
This is a lovely 'home' environment, with sufficient facilities to keep people reasonably well occupied.
Also good
ensuite facilities for showering. Bathrooms are spotless too.
The decor is always being improved to keep the home looking right and keeping its look and feel of a country house. Prices recently increased but it's still good value for money.

Braehill Lodge came highly recommended by local families and health professionals.
My father has been a resident for circa 8 months and I have been delighted with the care provided thus far. Staff very friendly and interact in a very caring manner with residents.
Lots of laughter and generally a
friendly/happy environment. The premises is very homely, cleaned to a high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending Braehill Lodge to other families.

My mother was in Braehill Lodge for the final year of her life, receiving love and exceptional care from the marvellous team there. The home is well maintained, freshly decorated and clean.
There is a warm environment and the residents are treated as individuals with respect and compassion. My
mother recently passed away and the end of life care was exceptional.
They looked after us too during her final days. They were kind, compassionate and respectful, making her final days peaceful and comfortable and we commend the team of wonderful staff.
