My Aunt moved into Northcare residence in Stirling in March this year . For me and my family it's peace of mind knowing she is well looked after with compassion and respect. My aunt is happy with her room , food and facilities . The building is kept immaculate throughout and is beautifully decorated . There are 'so many different activities for residents to do. The in house services are first class from the management staff , nurses, carers , hospitality and housekeeping . Family are always made welcome when Visiting and can enjoy the Beautiful surroundings of the bistro for coffee and cakes served by the very welcoming hospitality staff. I can't praise Northcare enough and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone thinking of Northcare for a loved one .

After an initial visit, we decided that Mum would have a short respite stay in Northcare Residences. She has now had two visits, each lasting a week. She has only good things to tell us about her stay. I have also been very impressed with the facilities, and the professionalism and kindness of the staff. Mum has particularly enjoyed participating in varied activities and she has been impressed with how welcoming the staff are to all her visitors. We are pleased that we chose to go ahead with a respite stay at Northcare. It has been very straightforward to make all the arrangements from first contact to collecting Mum afterwards.

My mum has been in Northcare Stirling for a few weeks now. She was diagnosed with vascular dementia. The care she has received has been outstanding. I can now relax knowing my mum is receiving the best care possible. The staff are so friendly and the way they treat my mum is first class. Special mention to the managers who made the move so easy. Their attention to detail was excellent. Also the nurses, care staff, and everyone in Wallace Suite in the way they care for my mum and treat her with dignity, my mum has already said they are like her 2nd family. The facilities are tremendous, we regularly go up to the brasserie for afternoon tea as a family. The staff there are brilliant. Rooms are very clean and spacious. There are daily activities, my mum really enjoys the singers. This care home has exceeded all our expectations.

My father moved into Northcare Residences, Stirling following a terminal cancer diagnosis. The management at Northcare moved very quickly so that Dad could spend his final few weeks in a far more pleasant environment than a hospital ward. Northcare is unlike any other nursing care establishment I have ever seen. It fully justifies the word "Residences" in its title. The accommodation in both public areas and bedroom suites is first class. All the staff made Dad and the family feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble, including meeting complex dietary requirements. The quality of nursing care was exceptional in rapidly changing circumstances. It was a great comfort to see the expert palliative care given to Dad and the respect and dignity with which he was afforded at all times. I was also supported and kept informed during my visits and by telephone. I highly recommend Northcare Residences Stirling.

From the first decision to visit, where front of house and the initial move were smooth and swift, to the ongoing exceptional care for us as a family, and for Mum, we are so very pleased we found Northcare in Stirling. Mum has advanced mixed dementia and is in the specialist dementia wing. It makes an enormous difference having a team who "get" dementia. The care the team take of her is very good. The person centred care is excellent. The setting is like a hotel in quality. The brasserie to take Mum up for a coffee/ tea and cake is very useful as Mum feels she has gone out. And she loves the cakes! Mum has been in Northcare for 7 weeks and she has , at last, been putting on a little weight as she is being well looked after. Thanks to the whole team.

Northcare in Stirling is an excellent and modern home. The furnishings and surroundings are of 5 star quality. Staff are excellent and could not be more helpful. They have helped my friend settle in which took a while as he very anxious in leaving his home due to his need for 24 hour nursing care. The staff are very helpful at all times and care for all his needs. Would definitely recommend this care home and all their e collect staff.

First 6 weeks at Northcare, couldn't have gone better. Attention to detail is outstanding, as is instant responses to queries. We made the right choice after an extensive search. Long may it continue.

Our Mum has been living in Northcare for a year now. After a hard few years it has been transformative for us to know she is safe, and warmly cared for, 24 hours a day. The facilities are obviously amazing but more than that I can't praise the staff enough - their kindness, patience and professionalism has been outstanding from day one, across every team. Our thanks to every single one of the individuals who make our Mum's life as easy, safe and happy as it can be.

We have just placed our mum here. We used this site to help us pick the best care home so wanted to write a review to help others. First of all you have to visit multiple care homes to make a judgement and when you do that you will see that Northcare Residences is head and shoulders above the rest. Care homes are expensive but at least here you can see and feel where the money is being spent. It's very much 5* All inclusive. Everything is to the highest standard from the furnishings and activities on offer to each member of staff. This is reflected in their Care Inspectorate reports too so not just our opinion. The welcome we received from the management, nursing staff, care assistants and hospitality team have been exemplary. They have all been friendly, professional and kind. We dreaded this time in mums dementia journey but that has been completely turned around and we are excited for her to make new friends and have new experiences that will definitely enrich her life. Brilliant x

My friend has had excellent care since moving to Northcare Residences. All the staff have been so kind and friendly. We can now be reassured that our 98 year old friend is cared for and safe and can live out her years in a stimulating environment.

Very welcoming care home, from managers, nurses, care assistants and catering staff everyone has made a positive impression. The facilities and care have been great, and they have been very accommodating of any requests during our settling-in period! Highly recommend.

My mum moved into Northcare 2 months ago and has received excellent care. All the staff without exception have been so kind and helpful. She settled in well and the staff have encouraged her to get involved in all the home has to offer which has really helped with her rehabilitation after a fall. We feel very lucky that this facility was available to her when she needed care and gives all of our family peace of mind that she is being well looked after.

Northcare Residences have been brilliant for my brother who is just 66 and lives with Frontal Temporal Dementia. I am his only relative and cared for him as best as I could, getting in social care etc too his home or should I say house. He was lonely and depressed as he became more insular and less mobile. I moved him into Northcare in September 2024 and it has been a joy from the beginning. From a lovely room, which I have personalised, great food, social spaces such as the brasserie and bar, cinema and hairdresser. He is happy and settled there. The staff are lovely and make sure he is always ok, checking regularly and chatting, a cheery wave which he loves as well as the necessary nursing skills that they need to have. They are all lovely. The activities are all well planned and interesting. They all communicate regularly. I am so much more relaxed knowing he is so well looked after. It is absolutely worth the slightly higher fees for the 5 star accommodation, food and drink and staff.

My Mum, age 94, went into Northcare in Stirling for a respite week at the end of November. She was very apprehensive at the thought of going into care but once she had unpacked and settled in, she was extremely happy and relaxed. The staff really did make her feel safe, secure and most welcome. The week passed by very quickly, Mum was so at home at Northcare, praising the staff who were very attentive, she enjoyed all the delicious food also. Meeting other people too really did give my Mum a much-needed lift. She didn't read any of her books at the care home as she just didn't have time, too busy chatting to the other residents, having her hair done at the in-house salon or attending a good movie on the top floor cinema. When the day came to leave my mother was a bit sad to say farewell, I think she will definitely be back! A beautiful flower arrangement was also kindly given to her on departure, a lovely gesture. Thank you Team Northcare for taking such good care of my mum.

My father moved into Northcare in Stirling in October 2023 and still lives there. The facilities and food are top-notch. I can't speak highly enough about the staff there. The general manager and front of house manager have always been extremely helpful and attentive to my requests. The nursing team led by two particular members of staff has been first class and, again, I am very thankful for all the care and affection they have provided to my dad, spending one one-on-one time with him, ensuring he gets involved in social activities, getting him to laugh and smile despite his dementia, hearing difficulties and immobility challenges. Two particular staff members in the hospitality team always ensure my father always enjoys his time there. I live overseas so it was particularly important to find a home where I could safely entrust the staff to take good care of him. Northcare have exceeded my expectations. They have been truly brilliant with my dad and I will be forever grateful.

My Dad has been living at Northcare in Stirling for almost 6 months now. We were reluctant as a family having to place him in long-term care, however, it's been the best decision for all of us. My dad has thrived in his time there and he's genuinely happy to be living in such a well-run facility. All staff members are professional and show real compassion and pride in their work. It's such a weight off all of our minds knowing he's being taken care of by staff there. It's a pleasure to visit him and I could not recommend this place any higher.

My stepmother 88 has been a resident for over a year, excellent staff and a fantastic care home. Nursing staff look after all her needs and meds with plenty of feedback. Great facilities and stimulation for the residents.

My husband stayed at the care home for respite for 8 nights. We can't thank the staff enough for providing such a five-star service. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, accommodating and caring at every step of the way. Excellent facilities, food, care, nursing care and extras, such as a cinema, rooftop terrace, cocktail bar and brasserie. We will definitely return.
25 September 2024
My friend is in for respite care and is being looked after very well, with respect and compassion. He's happy with his room food and facilities. The use of outside space for meeting and relaxing is so good and helps us all to relax. Concierge staff very attentive and helpful.
