Mum, at 93, went into Melrose in 2016 straight from hospital and to be honest, we did not expect her stay to be long as her health was so fragile. However, the excellent care Mum received from all the staff enabled her to not only recover but to thrive. Over the next few months her health improved
and she become interested in life again. The activities and homely atmosphere at Melrose, coupled with the consistency in staffing meant Mum was comfortable and content and that it is testimony to the care and attention she received. There were many instances where we could detail how Mum changed since she began her stay. It was amazing how she got involved in some of the events arranged. Although in difficult circumstances, it was lovely to finally meet the members of the night staff who had looked after Mum all through her nine years at Melrose. We cannot speak highly enough of these very special, dedicated people.

My father was admitted to Melrose in July for respite care for two weeks and as a result of the exceptional kindness and care provided he decided he wanted to make Melrose his home. Since being there he has thrived in every way, he participates in the very varied social and therapeutic activities
,enjoys the home cooked food and has his care provided by kind and competent care and nursing staff .Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff who all go that extra mile for the residents and their visitors. The communication via the Manager is again exceptional with regular weekly updates and Zoom meetings for family members who are not able to visit regularly. I highly recommend Melrose Nursing Home, as someone who has worked in this sector, this is by far the most outstanding Home I have encountered.

My dad moved to Melrose after a long stay in hospital and temporary care. Since moving here, we have seen such an improvement in his wellbeing. He is now more active and generally happier, I believe this is due to the care and kindness of the staff here. Lots of the staff have worked here for a
number of years which I think says alot. The place has such a homely feel and my dad says the food is good too!

The community at Melrose (carers, nurses and managers) have shown consistent kindness and care to my elderly mother. They are always patient and cheerful with her which makes a huge difference to her experience of life with Alzheimer's, and they have responded promptly to any concerns we have
raised.
This has not been an easy journey for her or for the family, but we have always felt strongly supported and understood by all the staff at Melrose.

My Dad has been at Melrose for 5 years and we have been very happy with the care he has received throughout that time. The home has a real family feel with very caring staff who know each resident well, treating them with dignity and respect. A variety of activities are provided throughout the week
including outside visitors coming in. The home is well managed and communication with the home is easy. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

My 102 year old mother has been a resident at Melrose for a number of years. Initially we thought it would be challenging to move her into a nursing home since she was a fiercely independent woman, but the staff played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth transition.
Melrose employees handle this
very difficult job with professionalism, patience, kindness and care. Over the years, my mother has been able to make friends because to a low staff turnover and she now considers it as her home. Excellent communication is maintained, not just with my mother but also with her family.

The Manager and her Amazing team have been exceptional in their kindness and understanding of My 97 year old Mum whose lived there for 6months.
Melrose is a Beautiful Cosy Welcoming home.
The team are proffesional and have all the amazing qualities that are so needed in a Caring Environment.
Always a Warm Welcome
Friendly compassionate and Respectful
Nothing is too much trouble for them
I always leave after a Visit knowing that My Mum is Well Cared for and that is a Wonderful feeling..

My mum was very poorly when she moved to Melrose, but has absolutely thrived since living there.
The staff are amazingly kind and caring, and the whole ethos of the home is about improving outcomes for residents.
Fun and engaging activities are available each day, and the standard of food is
excellent.
Would not hesitate to recommend.

My mum has been a resident since September 2025 and I have been constantly impressed by the care she receives. All of the staff know and seem to genuinely care for her. They do all they can to meet her individual needs. The team organise events and activities tailored for the residents. They welcome
us warmly when we visit. When mum was more mobile, they would get her ready for us taking her out.
The home aims to have a family feel and I would say they achieve that. I would thoroughly recommend the home for a family member. I have thought about moving in myself!

The staff at Melrose are 2nd to none. They are always friendly, attentive, and caring, they treat the residents like members of the family. Many have been working there for several years, so it feels more like a family environment. The home isn't a purpose-built facility, so it isn't like a hotel
where all the rooms are exactly the same. It has character and does feel like home from home.
02 July 2024
Finding the right home is always challenging, but working in this field myself, it was much easier. As having worked at Melrose many years ago, I already had a feel. It's such a homely environment, lovely staff, and plenty of activities to be entertained by. This was an important aspect for me and
Mum. It's lovely garden, and you always feel welcome. I would recommend it to others.

Living in Canada, I entrust my brother's care to the staff at Melrose Nursing Home who have been kindness itself in ensuring that as his health has deteriorated he is treated with compassion and patience. I am kept up to date with his health issues and have been so throughout his long-term stay at
Melrose.
There are many activities for the residents to enjoy, although my brother does not take advantage of these, he does enjoy his meals which are tasty, nutritious and varied

My aunt has been at Melrose since 2019. The care she is given is first rate. The staff are all very kind with a lovely smile and a welcome cup of tea upon every visit. My aunt loves the food and the way the staff react with her making her laugh and her face light up. Thank you so much.

Our mother has ongoing Alzheimer's related needs. All the staff have supported her wonderfully as her condition progresses and show kindness, understanding and great care. As her family, we appreciate everything that the staff at Melrose Nursing Home do for our mum.

Our mother has been a resident at Melrose Nursing Home for six months now and we can’t speak highly enough of the care she has received. The standard of care is excellent. The staff know Mum really well and respond to her changing care and nursing needs brilliantly. A great weight of worry has been
taken off our shoulders. Staff are so caring and go the extra mile to make sure she is comfortable and content. A big thank you to everyone at the Nursing Home from housekeeping, laundry staff, and chefs to carers and nurses, everyone is kind and efficient.
28 September 2023
Melrose Nursing Home is a very friendly place and my mother is very happy there. All staff are pleasant and the residents have plenty of activities throughout the week, ranging from quizzes, arts and crafts, coffee mornings, flower arranging, games and walks in the park and plenty more. Food is good
and the place is very clean. Mum is very happy there, it’s like a home from home. The staff work extremely hard to keep everyone happy.

My sisters and I would like to sing the praises of the staff at Melrose Nursing Home in their care of our mother. The staff are kind, caring and thoughtful. They are proactive in checking all medical support and nursing is administered in a timely and respectful way. They also put the time into care
and take an interest in the elderly person.
We feel very reassured that our mother’s needs are being met and she is as happy and well cared for as is possible.

I cannot praise and thank Melrose Care Home enough for their kindness and care whilst looking after my mother during her respite care of three weeks. The manager is a kind, caring, professional person who runs the home seamlessly and the staff looking after my mum without exception, have shown love,
kindness and an incredible way of making my mum feel at home immediately. The home itself is immaculate, modern and a special thanks goes to the Chef, who produced the most delicious homemade food, every single day, a wide variety of choices and happily cooked anything that wasn't on the menu. My mum regained her appetite after two years of not having one and we can never thank Melrose and the staff enough for that. I would thoroughly and without hesitation, recommend Melrose. We, as a family, knew, at all times, that Mum was receiving the best care possible. Thank you all so much. Our Family wishes you all, a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Our dear mum moved into Melrose on September 2nd 2021 with a terminal illness. We chose this home due to its rating of excellent by CQC and as they offer end of life care. We were not disappointed.
The care manager was excellent and made herself accessible to us as needed. It was the most
difficult time in my life as I watched my beloved mum draw closer to the end of her life and all of the care staff and nurses were just amazing and caring to me and my family, as well as my mum! They understood how hard it is for the relatives of their residents and were always kind, sympathetic and helpful, however busy they were.
The care the staff gave my mum was second to none and having worked in social care myself, I could not fault them. They really did care for my mum and gave her time, chatting to her and sharing a joke with her. My sister and I were able to be with her overnight as she passed away and again the care shown by the staff was exemplary.
Thank you for caring.

I am a solicitor who specialises in advice to clients and family in later life.
Over the years I have entrusted many of my clients who I am Attorney or Deputy for to the expert care of the team at Melrose.
I also have my father-in-law who has been there for the past 3 years this September.
They
also provide personalised care and respect to the residents as well as thoughtfulness to the families and loved ones.
This has been evident in the way that they have supported my mother-in-law during her poor health which impacted how she could stay in contact with my father-in-law.
They clearly invest in training and have good recruitment processes since the staff are consistently excellent, despite inevitable changes
They create a homely environment, with a can do attitude, to empower the residents in ways that are individual and particular to them each.
I can not recommend them highly enough.
