My friend reluctantly moved into Cluny Lodge after 18 months of engaging with carer providers in her own home. She has not looked back since making the move. The care she now receives has been transformational to her quality of life and her physical and mental health.
11 December 2025
I am quoting from Mum's eulogy -
Going into Cluny Lodge gave her the chance to continue with her hobbies in her last year, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and comfort she received. It also gave us all a chance just to be with her, enjoying her company and not have to look after her.
She used to say to me you don't worry about me anymore do you? And I would say no. She thought of everyone at Cluny as her friends. We cannot thank you enough and there are too many names to mention here - a heartfelt thank you.

My mother spent her last ten months in Cluny Lodge where she was looked after with great care and compassion. Mum was a midwife and district nurse before she married and when I was a child she nursed both her mother-in law and her own father in their final illnesses, so she knew how caring should be
done. She had nothing but praise for all the staff at Cluny Lodge and loved chatting to everyone she met there. What struck me on my visits was how much effort each member of staff put into getting to know my mother as an individual. It was only after Mum died that I heard about the physiotherapist urging another resident's visitor to take her baby granddaughter to visit my mother in her room, because the physiotherapist remembered how much my mother loved to see babies.

From start to finish, the care mum received at Cluny Lodge has been totally brilliant. Most importantly the patience and kindness of the staff has been first class - in her latter days she mentioned all her friends being around her and by that she meant the people who looked after her. She knew from
visiting older friends there that if a care home was ever necessary it was the one she wanted to go to, and it was her decision to stay on following respite care. Says it all.

My experience has been very good. The staff are exceptional in their care, kindness and respect. I have no complaints.

Brilliant, just what my aunt needs at the age of 104! She is treated with dignity, staff often stop to chat, take care of her individual needs, and keep my (next of kin) informed of any medical or procedural events concerning her.
Food and drink is "dont know", but I am not given that
option.

Overall I feel very much at home in Cluny Lodge. Hard working staff remain cheerful and supportive. Communal areas are welcoming and attractively decorated. The gardens are a joy and beautifully maintained. Unfortunately the standard of meal preparation is inconsistent. Good quality ingredients are
poorly cooked. Overall Cluny Lodge provides a comfortable, caring environment.

We are extremely grateful for the extraordinary care our relative received at Cluny Lodge Care Home. Every member of the team showed immense compassion, patience and professionalism - qualities that never wavered, even on the most challenging days. They took the time to get to know her story,
habits, likes and dislikes. The environment was always calm, clean, and welcoming. The rooms felt like home, and the food was of a fantastic quality and great choices. The activity programme (shared with us by email each week) was diverse and enjoyable. We had regular updates on her well-being. The medical care was exceptional, along with the exceptional emotional support to the resident, friends and family.

From my first meeting with the manager, I felt assured that Mum would be valued and well cared for. It was clear that this home was about 'life'. Although mum was very low when she arrived, she responded to stimulation, attended activities and joined others in the beautiful dining room for meals.
Her room was always clean and bright, staff were attentive and treated her with dignity and respect. A special wheelchair was provided when her own stopped being suitable. I appreciated that the staff passed on happy stories of Mum when we visited. At the end, staff were on hand making sure she was comfortable, pain-free and passed peacefully. We were always welcome and couldn't have asked for better care.

My mum moved into Cluny Lodge in April 2023 and was there for 2 years. The care and treatment she received the entire time she was there was first class especially during the last 2 months when she needed a lot more help. The staff were so kind, helpful and professional and treated my mum with
dignity and respect. I was so lucky to get mum a place at Cluny (I knew it had a great reputation even before she moved in) and it gave her 2 more years of good quality life and happy memories. I will always be eternally grateful to the whole team at Cluny for this.

My father moved into Cluny Lodge in January 2024. What a wonderful place, with amazing staff. He is so lucky to have moved there, and it has taken so much worry from me as well. Everyone in our family and friends too who have visited have commented on how impressed they are with Cluny, and
especially with the staff.
They treat everyone with respect and I really am so grateful for the care they give my father every day.

My mother moved from home to Cluny Lodge early in 2022. She had a non severe but progressive dementia. The care and treatment she received at Cluny Lodge was exceptional from start to finish. All aspects of maintenance and care are first class. Her room was beautifully decorated, spacious and always
spotlessly clean. The standard of medical and general care was gentle and thorough. I honestly cannot think of a single time when I felt anything wasn't dealt with perfectly. They staff were proactive in including the family if they had any concerns and they supported us sensitively when my mother finally left us on her 95th birthday.
12 December 2024
I have been extremely impressed with the exceptional care that my mother receives in this home. The staff and management are extremely professional, friendly and caring. My mother has settled easily and often admires her surroundings. The staff are excellent at keeping my mother comfortable and go
out of their way to try to meet her every need whether it is trying out equipment, adjusting her diet or medication. The new namaste sessions which involves massages, gentle music and calming scents have been very beneficial for my mother. They employ their own nutritionists and physiotherapists which means these needs are easily met in-house. There is always different staff popping in for a friendly chat or just making sure she is ok. The manager is very open and friendly and is very proactive at looking for any possible improvements. She is very visible within the home and knows each resident. I am kept very well informed about my mother's health and feel we are all part of one big family.

My father suffered 2 strokes in late 2020, and after he was discharged from hospital in Edinburgh we had to find a care home at short notice. That turned out to be Cluny Lodge and how lucky were we that it was!
From Day 1, the level of care, attention and hospitality my father received was first
rate.
That despite dad arriving in February 2021 when COVID was in full swing.
Sadly, dad passed away after a short illness in September this year. 7-8 staff attended dad's funeral which says a lot. He had been resident in Cluny for 3 and a half years.
It's hard to single out anybody but special mentions are due to the Unit Manager; Staff Nurses; and 4 other staff members in particular. Also the Entertainment Team; the minibus driver; and a staff member on reception; - and all the Cluny Kitchen staff (dad loved his food!).
All under the watchful eye of the inimitable, the Group Care Home Manager.
Thank you for everything from all the family.

I had to find a care home for my mum's school friend three years ago after she had a mild stroke which meant she couldn't manage on her own at home any more. She always wanted to die of a heart attack on her beloved golf course and avoid ever having to live in a home, but a stroke caught up with her
before that happened. I still can't believe how lucky I was to find her a room in Cluny Lodge Nursing Home.
From the day she moved in to Cluny Lodge, every member of staff took time to get to know her well and treated her with dignity, respect and above all, care of the highest quality. She was always very happy living there and when the time came for end of life care the staff were absolutely fantastic.
Thank you all so much for looking after a dear old lady so very well.

My Dad was a resident in Cluny Lodge Care Home for nearly 3 years until 2012 and my Mum for over 1 year until 2024. Both were looked after exceptionally well and so were my family and me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cluny Lodge to anyone needing or having relatives needing extra care.
I would find it very difficult to find anywhere better than Cluny Lodge.

My Dad came to Cluny Lodge in January for restbite as my Mum was unwell.
We were as a family worried my Dad would not adjust to being in a care home!
However, to our surprise, he loves it and is still there 6 months on and very settled.
The nurses and staff are fantastic with my Dad and he is
enjoying all the attention! There are lots of activities to keep his mind busy and again the staff are so attentive to all the residents individually.
My Dad loves music so they encourage him to play his mouth organ, he loves to sing and has watched the nurses and carers all sing along with him.
It's a home from home and just like one big family.
The staff are all amazing and with my Mum too who visits most days.
The cleanliness and hygiene are impeccable.
Can't praise Cluny Lodge high enough its just excellent.

Our mum stayed at Cluny Lodge for 3.5 years. Throughout that time she received exceptional care and attention from the whole team - Nursing, Caring, Leisure, and Housekeeping staff alike. There is a high ratio of skilled and experienced staff to meet the needs of the residents. Everyone is very
welcoming, with a smile. Always time for a chat.
The kindness and compassion that was shown to our mum as she neared the end was second to none. Thank you

We're extremely happy with the care provided by staff at Cluny Lodge. Their patience, kindness, and professionalism are exceptional. They have always kept us informed and involved us closely in any decisions regarding my mother's care. We're extremely grateful to them, and very glad to have found a
place for my mother in Cluny Lodge.

My mother lived at Cluny Lodge for three and a half years. She was unwell when she first arrived and had some tricky medical complications, but she was quickly made to feel at home and the fantastic staff soon had her medical needs stabilised. She was very happy at Cluny, through a healthy diet,
attending exercise classes and going to the many social events on offer she blossomed and relaxed into life there knowing that the staff were looking after her every need. She loved sitting in the summer sunshine in the garden and I loved doing that with her too. We also enjoyed going out to nearby coffee shops and walking in the local area. As her daughter, I was also made very welcome to visit whenever I wanted and I too was made to feel part of the Cluny family. Mum made some lovely friends from both the staff and other residents. Her time at Cluny was certainly very happy and for that, I cannot praise the staff highly enough.
