Have no regrets finding my brother in law a place in Applecross. He seems happy and has never looked better than he has in a long time.

My mum was underweight, withdrawn and had problems with her mobility when she entered Applecross due to ARBD.
My mum is always clean and well maintained and staff have always ensured her mat is at her bedside for her safety.
One year on and my mum is at a stable weight, she is communicating more
and no longer requires support or a wheelchair for her mobility. She has improved both cognitively and physically. Management and staff go above and beyond for residents and their families.
My mum enjoys participating in outings and activities provided at Applecross such as bowling, fish and chips on the boat, pottery etc.
Staff always call with updates on any changes and arrange a review of the care plan together. Any requests have always been taken into consideration and all staff encourage family involvement as much as possible.
Amazing place with amazing people

Applecross Nursing home provides a well maintained, safe, clean and stimulating environment. All staff are welcoming and work extremely hard to get to know residents through visitors, in order to communicate with residents effectively. The service they provide is excellent. Nursing staff work
effectively in the team and sensitively speak with family members. All other staff work so hard in their roles to ensure residents have excellent care.

The staff are great with my son. He can't do anything for himself so he depends on everyone in the care home to help him. Although he hates having a shower with them and needs to be fed with them. Management is great when you see them, always asking if everything is ok, if you need help with
anything, they will help you.

The staff at the nursing home are, without exception, friendly and helpful. They listen to what we have to say, and they act on our suggestions, following a discussion if required, although sometimes, there is a need to reinforce the execution of the agreed action. There is a bit of a lack of
completion of a feedback loop so that relatives have to persist. I feel that despite the best of intentions, there is a bit of a lack of opportunity to sit together to review the sadly, very complicated situation of my relative, and frankly, a lot of this is due to the parlous state of NHS provision. This relative lack of communication is entirely due, in my opinion, to the staff having to work extremely hard to deliver services, and I really appreciate their efforts. I am sure that I could get more of what I want by nagging or being a nuisance, but I am reluctant to place even more of a burden on the staff. And so we continue to provide our own initiatives, and to progress by baby steps.

My elderly mother, who is a resident, had a fall and required to have a hip replacement.
The experience at both hospitals mum was a patient in, only highlighted how great the care at Applecross Nursing Home is.
As a family, we will never be able to praise and thank each member of staff. They
have gone above and beyond, and we can only be happy in the knowledge that my mam is in good hands, as she journeys along in the last stage of her life.

My Brothers stay was awful -the manager claims my brother wanted to move to be nearer family yes that is true but he also wanted to move due to feeling unsafe at Applecross -due to resident being in his room during the night numerous times also numerous items including monies going missing virtual
assistant device, missing vapes , cigarettes, mobile phone all missing - the Social work & Police Scotland had to be brought in - my brother felt very unsafe - also items were added to sundries list that i had in actual fact bought & paid for myself & Applecross tried to charge me for them also -who actually spends £100 on taxis in one day? they tried to make out it is what my brother asked for - the cleanliness left a lot to be desired as i have stated to management previously i have witnesses to certain things that transpired at Applecross - so the manager can continue to deny what has went on - i would say please consider very carefully before letting your loved ones reside here - NOT SAFE

After a sudden bereavement my sister who has Multiple Sclerosis had to find suitable accommodation to meet her needs. She moved into Applecross in February and has settled in very well. In her own words she feels safe and cared for. The staff have been very attentive and caring and she has also got
to know other residents and has been taking part in activities. It is a great relief for us to know she is happy in her new accommodation and that she feels safe and comfortable whilst having the opportunity to take part in activities and outings. Her room is comfortable and we have been able to make it feel homely.
