Sadly my husband was only in Boclair Care Home for 4 weeks prior to his death. During that time he was treated with loving care by all members of staff, nursing, ancillary and administrative. That care extended to myself and my daughters and to the end w? were treated with love, respect and utmost
kindness. I could not have asked for more and I thank them all with all my heart.

The rooms, cleanliness, facilities, and activities are all excellent & the resident benefits from all these aspects. On the whole staff are very kind, patient & care well for the resident's needs; however staffing ratios in the unit could be improved to attend to needs (e.g being taken to toilet)
more quickly. Food could be tailored better to individual resident's needs.

As a family we are delighted to have found such an amazing care home for our mum. We struggled initially with the idea of our mum having to go into Boclair after spending so long in her own home, but the care, compassion, empathy and friendliness of every single member of staff has been far beyond
our expectations. Our mum is really settled and is extremely happy with every aspect of the home.
Boclair has a great atmosphere and vibrancy and the staff are always charming, friendly, engaging and polite. They take time to get to know the residents and it's obvious they take great pride in their work and ensuring the welfare of the residents is their main priority.
I can thoroughly recommend Boclair for anyone thinking of long term care for their relatives.

Mum decided to stay in the care home full-time after four weeks of respite. She settled quickly and is enjoying the company and all the activities available to her.
Boclair is a lovely care home and the staff are amazing. It is a huge relief to me that Mum is so well cared for.

My Mum spent 18 months in Boclair Care Home before she died in December. Our experience was VERY varied.
The surroundings are indeed of a high standard but this does not take the place of good staff to resident ratios particularly during the night, consistent standards of care, good communication
between management and families, lack of empathy or permanent solutions when concerns are raised Sadly in our experience Boclair wasn't very good in these areas.
I would prefer to tick unsatisfactory rather than poor but this isn't a review option.
Boclair makes HUGE statements but sadly we didn't experience what was promised.

I have pleasure in submitting this review for Boclair Care Home. Mum has now been a resident for five months Initally Mum struggled to settle in as she thought her stay was to be temporary, after four months Mum realised that allthough her choice would be to be back in her own home, due to her
failing health this would no longer be possible and the care home was the best place for her continued wellbeing.
She has a spacious well appointed room where she can have some personal items such as pictures of family and keepsakes.
The value of the warm welcome she received from the staff and managment should not be underestimated and this went a long way to relieve the anxiety she felt when first arriving at Boclair. The nursing staff, carers, laundry, domestic, catering and hairdressing services are all first class and could not be better. There is also a visiting optician, dentist and chiropodist which provide great service to the care home residents.

I feel very fortunate to have found Boclair to look after my Aunt during the final two years of her life. She settled in incredibly well, helped by the happy atmosphere about the place and displayed by every member of staff from the managers on down. The facilities always felt like a 5* hotel and
she never had any complaints about the quality of the food. There were always a variety of activities for those that wanted to participate, which was encouraged whenever possible. Above all however the standard of care was always exceptionally high with great respect shown during her final weeks.

Dad has been resident in Boclair carehome since January 2025. He's settled in so well which is reassuring & heartening to see. The staff are incredibly good & patient with Dad's needs, & are also extremely welcoming & approachable to us as family members.
There are so many unsung heroes amongst the
staff, it's unfair to single anyone out for a special mention. Each of us enjoys spending time with Dad at Boclair because the feel of the place is homely, relaxed & caring. Karlynn & Laura (management) are just brilliant. They make everyone feel important, & bring alot of kind humour too. The carers & nursing staff are really lovely & the wider staff, activities staff & entertainment, hairdresser, behind the scenes catering & laundry are all superb.
The standard of accommodation & food is excellent. What is clearly most valued is resident centred care, & that really shows in the approach & overall atmosphere at Boclair.

My client is happy and content in Boclair. The care is exemplary, but more to the point, personal, attentive and problems are dealt with humour and understanding.
Boclair is buzzing with activity and residents are central to everything.

Boclair Care Home was the perfect place for Mum to enjoy some much-needed respite. From the warmth on display during the initial assessment to the welcome when settling in, there was a very personal and personable approach throughout. The quality of the home and mum's room in particular was first
class, with lots to do (optionally) between meals, which were varied and nutritious. There are also lots of breakout rooms for peace and quiet - plus when the weather is good, the outdoor spaces are fantastic. Mum enjoyed her stay - so much that she returned for a second spell of respite. Highly recommended. Thanks to all the team.

Dad was transferred from hospital to Boclair Care Home for end-of-life care. This was primarily to enable Mum and Dad to be cared for in the same place during his final days as they had never been apart in their sixty-nine years of marriage. Mum was in Boclair for respite care during Dad's time in
hospital. We, as a family, will always have a deep sense of gratitude to the management team (particularly the then-manager) for speedily facilitating Dad's transfer to Boclair when it became obvious that he required a greater level of nursing care. This was carried out quietly and efficiently by staff who showed real understanding of what is important in a person's final journey. They also cared for Mum and us, as a family, with compassion and empathy. After Dad died, Mum became a full-time resident and continues to have excellent care within the 'Boclair family'. We remain thankful to have found such a welcoming environment for Mum to be part of and warmly commend the services and care at Boclair Care Home.

Incredible service since my gran moved here in 2023. The staff have been excellent and shown a high level of care. They are super personable and have gotten to know my gran (and us, as a family) really closely. Three-course meals at lunch and dinner, excellent activities and engagement. The standard
is more like a five-star hotel than what I would have imagined from a care home! Thank you for everything you do.

My gran is one of your residents in the care home. Since her coming to your care home, she has been very happy and well cared for. Her health has massively improved and she has just celebrated her 93rd birthday at the start of January. I would like to say a massive thank you to all of the team and
especially the deputy manager for being so very caring and helpful with my gran.

My mum has been in Boclair Care Home for two years and the care and attention that she has received in that time has been utterly tremendous. The staff are extremely attentive and spend time talking with my mum and she just loves the hairdresser and getting her hair done whenever she can.
First-class care.

I have found the care and the support of the nursing staff second to none. In relation to my loved one's home it was full of fun and a welcoming environment, and exceeded our expectations of what a care home was. I write this with thanks and gratitude to everyone in the home.

Whilst I cannot comment on food and drink, he seemed happy enough. Everything else is excellent. Accommodation is first-class and clean. Staff are outstanding - very caring, very attentive and happy to attend to any problem, no matter how small. It has been a pleasant experience visiting. Thank you
to everyone for all their help.

I can’t say enough about the care and compassion shown to my mother by the manager, deputy manager and all the staff at Boclair.
It was a short visit for Mum, under very extreme circumstances - but Boclair was a godsend to us all.
We will be forever grateful to you all.

My mother suffers from dementia and initially was being cared for in another nursing home. However, she did not settle well and we quickly knew we had to find an alternative home where she would get the kind of care she needed. We were so fortunate to find Boclair Care Home. Since she moved there,
she has thrived in every way. The staff and management could not be more caring. The concern they show to Mum is heart-warming. Their approach to caring for all their residents is outstanding and it’s a joy to visit the home and see all the smiling faces, both residents and staff. Mum has not been this happy in many years. We are so grateful to everyone who made this care home a special place.

Making the decision to move Dad into a care home was an emotional one for our family however thanks to the manager and the wonderful team of staff at Boclair, we haven't looked back! Gradually we saw Dad's personality, sense of humour and a little twinkle in his eye come back! He began to eat
properly and his overall health generally improved. He felt safe, secure and above all, respected and cared for. There is always something going on every day thanks to the hard-working, creative activities team and many seasonal celebrations to enjoy. Dad is a reluctant participant but is gently persuaded to join in those that the staff know he will enjoy, and he does! He particularly loved the recent Burns Supper and a trip out to the local church for a Scottish music celebration.
My family and I have nothing but praise for every aspect of Boclair Care Home and the staff have become like family too when we visit. Thank you, team Boclair.

My uncle's recent move to Boclair Care Home has been an incredibly positive experience. The facility, resembling a beautifully styled show home, exudes warmth and comfort. The excellent amenities, from communal spaces to individual rooms, reflect a commitment to high standards. What truly sets this
care home apart is the remarkable staff. The care manager and team have been sensitive to the emotional challenges of transitioning to a care home, ensuring a smooth process for my uncle. Their unwavering support and genuine dedication to residents' well-being create a reassuring atmosphere. Boclair is not just a facility; it's a compassionate home, providing exemplary care and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
