My mother-in-law moved into the care home in April and over the past six months we have been extremely happy with every aspect of her care. From the very beginning, the staff supported us through what was not an easy decision, and we are deeply grateful for their kindness and guidance. They are the most thoughtful and compassionate people, always responsive to her every need, and nothing is ever too much trouble. They treat her with dignity, warmth, and humour, while being sensitive to her wishes and providing a true home from home. Regular, thoughtful activities are offered, yet they respect her choice to join when she feels comfortable. The food is lovely, her physical health is carefully supported, and her emotional wellbeing is always nurtured. As a family we feel reassured and included, with staff keeping us updated about every aspect of her care. Most importantly, our mother and grandmother is happy, at peace, and in the very best possible place.

My mother-in-law was welcomed into pitreavie castle in January2025 with dementia. She has been cared from by all staff with kindness and compassion from the minute she entered this beautiful nursing home. She choose her own room looking onto the castle and rabbits running around the grounds which she loves looking out her window every day too. It took a few months for her to settle in but she loves it now, as like her own home which she feels safe and secure. The grand children loves visiting her which they relate to as "grans hotel". Everyone is made welcome and encouraged to visit and join in at all the activities and events. I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone.

My gran was a resident here from the end of last year until she died last week. She was treated so respectfully and lovingly the whole time, we really couldn't have asked for more. She regained her confidence and freedom since moving in, being taken for activities and spending time with new friends. The food was always good and the place very clean. During her last few weeks we knew how well she was being cared for and it was a great comfort in a difficult time. All staff - from carers and nurses, to the handyman and the cleaners - were very kind and genuinely cared, for which we will always be grateful. She was able to spend her last few weeks and days in a place she was comfortable, rather than having to go into hospital which she never wanted to do. It was the best decision for her to move in, it gave her an extra year of living. The dignity and respect with which she was treated after she died can also not be understated. Thank you to all the stuff.

My husband was admitted to Pitreavie Castle Care Home in August. On arrival you are made feel very welcome. The building is very modern and elegant and visitors are offered tea, coffee and home made cakes free of charge in the Bistro daily. There are no issues with parking when I'm visiting as there is a large car park and the grounds are beautiful. The staff are kind and welcoming, from those in the office, nurses, carers, cleaners and handyman. This kindness rubs off on the residents and makes them feel more secure in their environment. The manager and deputy manager are kind and could not be more helpful. I It also boasts a hairdressers, a small cinema and various sitting rooms with the choice of where the residents want to watch TV and have their meals. Their deputy manager is an asset to them with her dedication to her job. She is a thoughtful kind lady with a great sense of humour. There are outings and entertainment for residents.

My brother and I are very happy with the care Dad is receiving and have always found staff to be friendly and helpful. The need for full time care is something we would prefer as a family not to need, but the transition from home has been made as easy as possible for all of us by the caring and thoughtful actions of the staff. We are relieved to have found a place where Dad feels safe and welcome.

Pitreavie castle is warm and caring place to be. The home is clean and inviting, with ample parking. My gran enjoys herself here, with activities throughout the week and enjoys spending time with other residents watching films at night.

My parents moved into care home in Dec '24. As with anybody it took them a little time to integrate into their new surroundings. All carers and staff are very friendly, efficient and approachable. The home is spotlessly clean. Laundry is done and returned fresh and ironed. Meals, snacks and cakes are excellent. Lovely outside area for residents to gather and sit outside on our rare sunny days. Highly recommend.

My mum moved to Pitreavie Care Home in February & has settled in relatively quickly, thanks to the excellent team, beautiful food & 5* surroundings! The nursing/care staff are so attentive & I have such peace of mind knowing that mum is safe & being well looked after. The new management team are enthusiastic, approachable & helpful with any queries I may have. Reception & all the background team are also very friendly & efficient. There is always a nice atmosphere when I visit. Activities are up & running with plenty more ideas in the pipeline. The residents have enjoyed day trips, a choir at a local church, weekly coffee/chat mornings & visits from nursery children. Activities within the home include bowls, quizes, dominoes, entertainment & Mothers Day Afternoon tea. It was lovely to see the residents outside last week enjoying the nice weather. There is plenty of outdoor seating in a sunny, peaceful setting. Flowers & herbs are being grown in the garden. Highly recommend!

My family's experience of Pitreavie Castle Care Home has been excellent from the first day we visited. This is a stunning building in a very convenient location with lovely communal areas. It's been a very emotional transition both for my mum and the family and the team at Pitreavie Castle have supported us along the way. The reception team, management, nursing staff and all the background workers have been so kind and caring. It's comforting to know our mum is surrounded by such a great team. Family visits have turned into fun experiences with all ages welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for the Pitreavie Castle team. Looking forward to seeing the patients enjoy activities with the new coordinator. Highly recommend.

The carers genuinely care for my mum. They can't seem to do enough for her despite her needs. They are respectful of her privacy and, despite her memory issues, seek to make her feel included in the decision-making processes.
