I am very pleased with my mother's care at Drumdarroch House Care Home. Staff are very friendly and can't do enough for my mother. Home lovely and warm, meals excellent, rooms have been updated. Lots of activities, different every week, very clean, management (Since Wendy came) excellent, garden
lovely and Xmas decs in home very festive, and outside, outstanding. I have no worries about recommending this home! Very pleased.

The staff at Drumdarroch House Care Home do such fantastic work there and always very friendly. They should feel so proud of the part they play in looking after the residents. This is all led by a wonderful care manager it is so welcoming when coming down the path to the entrance. At the moment its
all about Christmas. In Spring daffodils and then summer bedding plants which residents help choose. It must be such a joy for them to be involved. There's a screen when you enter the home that shows residents enjoying baking, parties, making Easter hats. There's such a variety of activities there are also fundraising afternoons with volunteers and the staff also give so much of their own time to help. A fantastic group of people.

I live in Australia and have just had the pleasure of visiting my mother at the home for her 100th birthday. As I video call my mother every day, I have had contact with the staff for some time. Our welcome was overwhelming. I was so happy to see the care and love my mom receives. The rooms are
clean and spacious, the meals delicious, and all the staff are so friendly and caring.

All members of staff are very caring and know my mother-in-law well. They keep us fully informed about her care. She is settled and content and feels at home. During family visits, we are welcomed and often share a fly-cup. Drumdarroch is a lovely place to visit - it's homely, welcoming and there's
always plenty going on.

Drumdarroch has provided a very caring and protective environment for Mum since she became a resident. She finds it a comfortable, homely place, where all the staff know her and are kind and friendly to her. The food's good! And the home offers a range of activities for the residents.

I have found the care in Drumdarroch House for my mum to be excellent. The staff are really kind and caring. The rooms are always spotless and the food looks very appetising. Mum is unfortunately unable to participate in the varied activities going on but really enjoyed the recent Summer fete. We
admired the lovely flowrs which have brightened up the entrance.

I did a great deal of research before choosing Drumdarroch as a care home for my aunt and my mother, of seven other homes in the area, Drumdarroch was so fare ahead on several counts that the decision was easy.
Nothing has changed my view in the six years since. Care is compassionate. The staff are
patient and supportive, even when one of my family member residents is difficult, as she can be.
The fee is high. The peace of mind it brings the family is the benefit.

I really can't say enough about Drumdarroch, the staff are exceptional. The genuine care and compassion they have with each and every resident shines through on every visit I make. There is nothing that is too much and great effort is made to show each resident how important they are. I have been
visiting Drumdarroch for 2years now with my Therapet so have got to see staff in action and see how they pull together as a team to make the residents have a good experience every day

My mother has been a resident for almost 4 years now. My overall experience has been very positive and I feel reassured that my mother is getting well cared for in a secure and friendly environment. I would have no hesitation in recommending this well-managed care home to any other families looking
for a caring nursing home.

When looking for a care home for my Mother-in-law, Drumdarroch was our first choice because of the reviews and we were thrilled when she was offered a place. Sadly, my Mother-in-law only had 10 months living at Drumdarroch, but in that time was shown love, care and kindness that you wish for. My
Mother-in-law settled very quickly in Drumdarroch and thoroughly enjoyed her time there. She often spoke about the kindness of the staff and loved the food in the 'restaurant'. The family would also like to thank staff for their kindness when she passed.

My granda has been a resident for a few months now and we are very happy with his care. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.
02 April 2025
My mom moved to Drumdarroch from a previous really bad experience in care. The difference is absolutely amazing. Like night and day! Calm, efficient, bright, cheerful and well managed. Albeit early days and mom is not ready to engage in activities. I am sure with the support offered she will soon be
joining in. I really feel we have found the ideal home for my mom and look forward to lasting relationship with all the staff at Drumdarroch.

Very well cared for in her final days. Made very comfortable and staff very caring and efficient.
