We were initially apprehensive about admitting our elderly mother into respite care. However any anxiety we had was soon dismissed after meeting the manager and her team. All were welcoming and friendly, addressing any concerns or issues we had, providing extra support and guidance as required,
helping to put our mum at ease while adjusting to her new surroundings.
The facilities are homely, the bedroom was bright and airy and all rooms kept clean and tidy.
Overall our mother seemed happy and content during her short visit.

Have visited Eildon House regularly over the last 2 years. Found staff to be welcoming and helpful.
Should I have any issues I wish to discuss with them, they are also willing to listen and take any action required.
Found staff to be patient and understanding with my aunt. My aunt is usually in
her room but I notice when passing the lounges on my way to it, that the residents sitting in the lounges always look happy and content.
The senior staff are always interested to know how I am and take an interest in my well-being.

I am so pleased that my father spent his final days at Eildon House. Unfortunately, due to his declining health, he passed away within weeks of moving in. The care he received during his short stay was excellent - the staff were very kind and managed all his care needs with attention to detail and
compassion. They kept me fully informed of his situation and supported me during my visits. The end-of-life care he received was provided with great respect and dignity. Eildon House is a well-maintained, comfortable and very welcoming care home; I was always greeted with a smile and an update on my arrival. My father's room was charming; clean, spacious, and full of light, with a fantastic view of the Edinburgh skyline. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate in recommending Eildon House to anyone seeking care for themselves or a loved one.

Eildon is well run and the staff are courteous and caring. The accommodation is satisfactory and my wife has a comfortable bed and her person is clean. She is well-fed and shows no sign of weight loss. She is contented so far as can be judged but her communication is poor due to her dementia. I am
satisfied that Eildon is providing the best care available

Our 90-year-old dad stayed at Eildon House for a 2-week respite stay. This was his first time in respite, so we were all nervous and a bit anxious. The manager and her staff were very supportive and gave us a lot of reassurance about respite care and our dad's adjustment to his 'holiday room'.
During his stay, we found he was more alert and engaged during our visits. We managed to get him out several times during his stay to a local cafe something which has been difficult when at home.
The staff were always friendly and approachable. Eildon's House had a lovely homely feel about it, it was clean and the room my dad had was fantastic, bright, and airy with wonderful views of the Castle.
It was also lovely to see the residents doing their yoga exercises and getting pampered by the hairdressers.
Although there is a lack of garden space you are close to the Botanic Gardens for a trip out. We will definitely consider another respite stay in the future.

Since my mother came to the home she has been treated so well. Everyone is welcoming and always available to talk.
The home is always so clean and tidy and from the amazing smells coming from the kitchen, the food is excellent too.
I particularly like the social media posts, which give me an
insight into how the residents are entertained and cared for.

My mum moved into Eildon House in November 2023 with her little dog and they were both very warmly welcomed. All the staff are very friendly, happy and are very attentive. They have also been so kind to me and have supported me from day one as well, understanding that I have been feeling anxious,
overwhelmed and upset by my mum's health and have really looked after me as well. There is a lovely friendly family feel to the care home, the residents are always involved in activities in-house, going on outings or being pampered. Whenever I see my mum she is happy, her nails are done and she's mixing with the other residents in the lounge, not being kept in her room on her own. The activities manager is always coming up with new ideas for enrichment, she is extremely happy and bubbly and involves everyone. I cannot thank the staff enough for making both myself and my Mum feel so welcomed and looked after! I very much recommend Eildon House for your loved one, you won't be disappointed.

My mother moved into the care home in August 2023. She was given a very warm welcome by the staff and has settled in amazingly quickly. The staff are wonderfully supportive and caring, and they are always available to discuss any issues we may have. The care home provides a multitude of activities
for the residents and is very happy to hear of any ideas that would make residents stay happier.
We highly recommend Eildon House to anyone searching for the right nursing home for a loved one.

I had a number of issues I wished to discuss at a review meeting. I felt I was listened to and the care home acted on my requests. My aunt has been given a bigger room which she appreciates. This will enhance her lifestyle.

I feel that my wife is well looked after.

I am amazed at the positive difference in my aunt. She is more confident, and relaxed, and while we don't have long conversations, it's a nice time for both of us. She has said all the staff are very nice. I totally agree with her, as I, too have found everyone very helpful. Not sure how much I can
say.
For me, it has made life less difficult, as I know she is safe and well looked after.

Eildon house was like home to my dad, he was very comfortable, well looked after and happy during his stay there which run from December 2019-February 2022. All the staff were professional and kept me informed about his health and well-being. I always enjoyed my visits and felt welcome. I would
highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a happy home for their loved one.

Eildon House provides fantastic care, and is wonderfully caring, with great activities personalised to each individual and lovely rooms. The communal areas have just been redone and are looking great. Staff provide lots of information to relatives and go above and beyond treating residents as
family.

A friendly care home that is very efficient at what they do. They're there time and time again helping residents with all kinds of ailments to make life as comfortable as they can for them. Always friendly to the family as well.

My sister moved into Eildon House in October and is starting to settle in now. I have found all members of staff very nice, helpful and welcoming to my sister and family.
13 June 2022
Since moving into the care home, seven weeks ago, I found the accommodation first-class. All the staff I find to be very caring to all the patients. If I had a chance to stay here on a permanent basis, I would take it.
