Since moving to Bandrum in February 2024 my cousin has settled in well, staff that I have met are all kind and caring. There is a lot of changes in staffing and this is not good as I feel continuity is a must with Dementia patients. I also understand that staffing is sometimes out of managements
control and they cannot control staff sickness etc.
Her room is nice, bright and well maintained it is cleaned everyday and her bedding changed regularly.
The meals are all good and they have a great variety and choice, we as relatives are asked for any ideas for change in menu or anything or relatives would like or dont like.
The care home have regular relatives meeting where you can voice any concerns you may have, these are always dealt with promptly.
Activities team are fantastic with the resident's always things going on and relatives are more than welcome to join in.
Bandrum have a lovely cafe which is open to the public, you can take your relatives here for coffee and a cake.

Staff are caring and try very hard to meet the individual needs of the residents. Nothing is too much trouble. The activities team try to involve residents as much as they can to provide a stimulating experience and environment

My Mum has lived at Bandrum Nursing Home for over 20 years now and I truly cannot recommend this care home enough. Throughout this time, my mum's care has consistently been of the highest standard. The staff show genuine compassion, patience and respect, always treating her with dignity. My mum has
complex needs due to Huntington's disease, and the team supporting her are highly trained, knowledgeable and always willing to learn more to ensure she receives the best possible care. Over the last few years, as her health has deteriorated, the staff have gone above and beyond to manage every challenge and ensure she remains comfortable, safe and well supported. Management have also been incredible, meeting with me regularly to make sure all of my mum's needs are met and supporting me in ways they don't have to. I will never forget when Bandrum even hosted a mini wedding for me and my mum when she couldn't attend my big day, so she still felt included, a moment nether of us will forget.

My mum has been here since August 2025, we never thought she would be in a carehome but think we have picked the best one. Spotlessly clean place and well cared for, the staff have been great and are constantly getting her involved in activities which she is really enjoying.
Staff are very
respectful towards my mum and she enjoys the attention,would highly recommend Bandrum

My mum was a resident of Bandrum , Meadowview unit from July 2024 to Aug 2025 . I can say without a doubt that my mum was cared for like one of their own! Mum kept thinking she was coming home! When we were leaving after a visit , the team had to regularly have to distract her so we could leave
without mum having a meltdown! The team always took the time to update you on what they had been doing with the residents whilst you hadn't been in. If there were any health concerns they were on the phone immediately and informed you of what they were doing or asking what you wished to to be done! When it was near the end for Mum they were a great support for all the family. They helped us immensely as Mum decided to pass on Bank holiday weekend! I would also like to say , Care Inspectorate only see's a little of what happens in a care home , yes they measure certain aspects! But the people that matter are the humans that look after our humans ! 100% out of 100% to them

Since becoming a resident at Bandrum in the last month, my gran has been well very looked after and encouraged to take part in a number of activities and events on a regular basis. The staff already know her well and are always welcoming, kind and lovely when we visit. Today we took part in the "Mad
Hatter's Tea Party" with some of the residents and the huge effort staff went to was clear. We had a lovely time as did gran! The home is clean, welcoming and feels safe. We are so glad she is somewhere we can trust.

My sister stayed at Bandrum Nursing Home for 9 months while a permanent placement was being organised! I cannot praise all the staff highly enough, she was made to feel so welcome and looked after fantastically. She moved there shortly after the death of our mother and the emotional support she
received was excellent.

My partner was in bandrum in 2018 for respite and the care was top drawer indeed.
Sadly she returns to bandrum again as a permanent patient, I know and have seen the care teams attitude is excellent indeed,
And I admire that stoic attitude. I know my partner's is in kind hands thank you for the
care and the care to come.

My dad was admitted into Bandrum Nursing Home in June this year suffering from advanced dementia. From the very first day right to his last in September, the staff made him feel welcome and comfortable and cared for him as if he was one of their own family. Every member of staff that we met was
caring, professional and nothing short of excellent. They looked after my dad's every need and showed a level of compassion and respect that meant so much to my family - although my dad's condition was difficult for us, we took a great deal of comfort knowing that he was being cared for by such a wonderful team. We cannot thank them enough and they will forever have our heartfelt gratitude and admiration.
02 August 2024
First time visit and very impressed by the friendly and helpful staff.
Accommodation welcoming and well looked after in a lovely setting. All areas clean and tidy.
Residents all seemed happy to see new faces and it must give relatives peace of mind to see their family in the setting.
24 June 2024
I came into Bandrum Nursing Home in 1989 just by chance when my mum noticed an advert in the Dunfermline Press about a revolution in caring for people. We applied and got in. The residents were friendly so were the staff who just like today were always busy as the very sick came first. But got to
you to see if everything is okay. I suppose I and many others can say they've been through thick and thin. Many losses in my family as well as my mum. The home was good about that with support, counselling and care advice. Through the years I developed many interests Church, Pilgrimage to France and holy places in Scotland, England also days out with the home bus runs to interesting places. The cinema, Perth races and Pantomime at Christmas time.

My father was a temporary resident at Bandrum from December 2023 until June 2024. During this time he received the utmost care in a friendly and professional environment. The staff were very considerate of our situation and extremely attentive to my father's needs. I was very impressed by the senior
management team and their consistent support, which gave me peace of mind that my father was in safe hands. All staff without exception were cheerful and polite, and happy to fulfill any request we had. I am very appreciative of what they did for my father during his short stay and have no hesitation in recommending Bandrum as a premier nursing home facility.

Since my mother moved into Bandrum, nearly a year ago, her overall health and well-being have improved significantly.
The staff are great and are very considerate and kind to her.
Unfortunately was no longer able to properly look after herself in her own home, even with care support, but she is in
much better shape now than when she moved in.
Her medical needs are well taken care of, and she rarely has the discomfort and difficulties that troubled her
Also, on any given day at Bandrum, my mother has more social interaction and activity than she had in a month at home, which is excellent for her mental health.
Since settling in, the family is very comfortable knowing the home is looking after her - when we visit, we can see she is now relaxed, not in pain, and less anxious.
04 October 2023
Our mum was a resident at Bandrum from Christmas 2022 until she sadly passed away in August 2023 at the fine age of 92.
While she took a wee while to settle in, as a family we were always certain that she was receiving the best of care at Bandrum and she was always pleased to see us when we visited
her. The staff in particular deserve praise for their relentlessly cheery demeanour and the affection and care that they demonstrated towards all the residents – including Mum.
Then, when she was in her final days, their compassion and the attention they paid to her needs were second to none. As a family, we were - and are - unanimous in our belief that she was in the best possible place, given her needs. On behalf of the whole family, we thank Bandrum and all their staff for looking after our mum.

My Aunt has been a resident in Bandrum for the last five months, her care is exemplary performed with kindness tact and professionalism. I can only express my gratitude for this as it enables me to feel confident that her care is always as it should be.
The staff are kind caring with an attention
to detail. The food is excellent and each resident is catered to as an individual.
Thankyou.

My brother is a resident, he is well cared for always clean shaved and dressed comfortably anytime I visit. Always happy staff, helpful and respectful and contact me with any concerns and the room is always clean and tidy.
The family are content and happy he is well cared for.
17 April 2023
As a family, we have no complaints about the care given to my wife. We feel she is well looked after and cared for.
05 April 2023
I cannot praise Bandrum Nursing Home highly enough having had a fair amount of care home experiences Bandrum is definitely off the scale.
Walking in the door you are met with a true family atmosphere, staffing levels are brilliant and the staff is always above and beyond the line of duty. My wife
has been in the Bandrum family for over a year now she is so contented and calm which gives me and my daughters so much reassurance she is in the correct environment. Her dementia has robbed us of our mum and wife but the knowledge she is being so well looked after helps so much. Would put Bandrum on top of any list.
Top marks to everyone involved looks like a happy place to work as the staff always smiling and engaging.
04 April 2023
I transferred my dad to Bandrum Nursing Home to be nearer to me as he spent 3 years in a care home over an hour away from me and my family. I am so grateful that I was able to visit Dad every day in his final weeks. The care given to him was excellent. The home was very welcoming, the staff always
seemed to be interacting with the residents and the whole environment was calm, with no stress. The carers and nurses always had the time to answer any questions I had. I found the manager most personable and professional.
