What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Cairdean House care home.

My mother is settling in pretty well. She is very happy with all the staff and says that they look after her very well and are all very friendly. She has become friendly with a few of the residents which is good to hear. She’s being looked after well and she has absolutely no complaints about the care.

Relative of a resident, December 2024

One thing that is clear is that Dad has settled in really well and is being well looked after, he does seem to enjoy the activities and it is a weight off Mum's mind knowing that he is happy and cared for.

Relative of a resident, December 2024

My sincere thanks to your colleague who took Dad fishing yesterday- the trip sounded so much more than I would have expected, it was a lovely, generous thing to do and so very kind.

Relative of a resident, December 2024

Thanks for your help. I visited several care homes and can honestly say that the caring atmosphere of Cairdean is second to none. I really like the way that it is organised in small units.

Family of a resident, November 2024

I honestly can't say enough about the support given me throughout this whole process since July.
