What others have to say

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

Thank you, one and all. I shall always be grateful that we found such a pleasant home with staff who are so kind and professional. Thank you for being so considerate to me. Despite not living locally, you kept me very much in the loop and whenever I phoned the unit it was great. How can I thank you properly for your positive attitude and sensitive care.

Family of a resident, November 2024

There are an incredible number of activities. I can't imagine anyone being unable to find something they like to do based on their interests. They have a particularly strong activities team who go out of their way to provide something for everyone... they have a wish tree, if a resident expresses that they want to go somewhere or do something, they make sure it happens if its practical.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My loved one has dementia, and the staff are well-trained in how to deal with his condition. They always take time to ensure he understands what’s happening and approach him in a way he doesn't find threatening, they never stand above him, they come down to him in his chair... they show great patience and consideration in the care they provide. They always take time with me too when I visit, not only to tell me about my loved one, but they ask how I am doing... they take a genuine interest in both of us.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My loved one receives excellent care from the care team and the nursing staff, and friendships have blossomed with some of the staff and the other residents in the home. The staff are truly exceptional, including the entertainment team, they all know what she enjoys and they get her involved. They really celebrate each resident.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Murrayside has helped my relative to feel safe and comfortable. I have had such amazing support from the staff and everyone makes me feel so welcome when I visit.
