Excellent staff both medical (nurses) and carers. Management are available and receptive. Food could be better, more age appropriate, residents of this generation need simple food cooked well not Chinese or the like. More meat, fish, ham etc- it would appear the cooks budget is too small! More
attention after 8pm would be appreciated.

My initial feeling on entering the care home to enquire about respite was a very warm and welcoming Care Home. This has only been confirmed by the wonderful nursing and care staff who have looked after my husband during his respite stay. Their kindness, patience and empathy towards him meant
that he settled into the home immediately and was never upset when I had to leave him after visiting him each time. Mearns House is a big warm, safe home that you can leave your loved ones with confidence of the care they will receive.

Mearns House is a bright, welcoming and comfortable home, with attractive garden space and a broad range of activities and events. But what makes it a particularly special place are the caring, friendly and dedicated staff, who treat all residents with dignity and who add joy and warmth to their
lives. My stepmother has been resident for over three years, and all her needs are met professionally and compassionately. It's very reassuring to see her happy within the Mearns House family, and to know that she's fully supported and so well looked after. Huge thanks to all involved in her care.

Staff are amazing at managing my father. He has been a resident here for 3 months now. They now know dad very well, and superb at using distraction techniques to occupy dad when he is stressed or looking for my mum. I cannot praise the nursing staff and the care staff enough.They do really care
about dad and always have his best interests at heart.The family are all delighted about the care dad is receiving.

As always the staff are kind caring and very helpful. As I live further a field I am always confident that my aunt will be cared for and that everyone makes her feel very comfortable in her new home.

We felt my mum was very well looked after during her recent respite stay. Right from arrival through to the goodbyes staff were attentive, kind and patient. We were reassured she was safe, had the opportunity to join in activities and had company all in beautiful surroundings.
Mearns House is
beautifully decorated with lots of lovely homely touches. My mum thought the food excellent and room very comfortable.
We'd definitely recommend Mearns House to others.

My Dad went for a couple of weeks respite care and when I collected him had very much enjoyed his time at Mearns House. The staff were friendly and interacted well with the residents and accommodated my Dad's interests and hobbies. The only downside was construction work that I presume is finished
now that stopped full access to the garden He is now looking forward to his next visit which is very comforting to me.

My Mum needed a short respite stay and we were delighted with the care provided. Staff were compassionate, caring and friendly. The establishment seems to be very well resourced in terms of having plenty of staff to provide safe levels of care. Pleasant atmosphere. Clean and well
decorated/furnished. Food offered seems to be excellent with a good choice. There is a coffee bar with coffee for the residents and their visitors. Good communication from staff.

My dad entered respite care after deteriorating quickly with cancer. From the minute I met the team at the home, the level of care they provided was exemplary. nothing was too much for them and they loved and cared for my dad in the last few weeks of his life. the support I received helped through a
very difficult time too and I have had regular contact weeks after my dad has passed to make sure I am ok. The manager runs a very good home and I have nothing but praise for her and her team. Would highly recommend.

My husband was in for nine days respite. After researching various care homes, my husband picked Mearns House.
The home was immaculate and very fresh.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure my husband had an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
His words at the end if his stay was it was more like
a hotel than a care home. We would most definitely use Mearns House again.

Staff are exceptional and nothing is a problem. They are always willing to help and residents are so happy and settled. Care home has a welcoming and homely feeling. As a family, we are happy to see our aunt happy and plenty of activities for her.

Since moving into Mearns House, the staff have been super friendly and cannot do enough to ensure I am comfortable and have everything I may need. The patio room has enabled me to maintain a level of independence and mobility.

My mother took up residency at Mearns Court in October 2023 having been widowed in 2020 and becoming less self-sufficient. She sadly passed away in March 2024; however, my brother and I will be eternally grateful to all the staff at Mearns House for the care and genuine love they provided during our
mum's stay. They gave her a new lease of life, providing amazing entertainment and activities. They would constantly go 'above and beyond' to optimise the experience of the residents and create a joyful, safe and loving 'home.'

The activities staff organised a Mother's Day musical high tea. Mum thoroughly enjoyed the tea and cakes and was able to sing along to the tunes. This is typical of the thoughtful and interactive events at Mearns House. Particular thanks to the activities coordinator for organising the fabulous
event and for leading Mum and all the residents in the fun afternoon.

The kindness and empathy shown to our family member was second to none. All staff interaction with us were friendly, professional, empathetic and attentive. Our children were able to visit and were always made welcome and felt at ease. The home is spotless and residents' needs and personalities are
taken into account when providing care. Overall, very satisfied with this establishment and all staff. Brilliant service, staff simply couldn't have done more. Thank you!

Enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day at Mearns House with a lovely afternoon tea accompanied by two fantastic musicians who were specially chosen because they could sing and speak in Gaelic, Mum's first language. It was so thoughtful and mum was grinning from ear to ear all afternoon.

Mearns House has welcomed Mum into their home and the entire team is very friendly, well organised and caring. Mum has vascular dementia and the staff are patient, encouraging and aware of Mum's capabilities and needs and are proactive with any health concerns with any health concerns. The staff
keep the family informed and updated.
Mum has enjoyed the activities and getting to know members of staff and other residents. The entertainment is varied and the activities team has encouraged Mum to participate (pantomime, puppet show, yoga, and wreath making etc.)
(Food: Mum has to have her food minced).
03 January 2024
My mum has settled in really well, she is enjoying the activities and is making friends.
Since coming to the home, she has come on leaps and bounds.
Staff are very friendly and very inclusive.
As a family, we are extremely happy with the nursing home.
