They do understand his health needs, he is now in end of life care and they show him a great deal of kindness.

Ms. M. M, Relative of a resident, July 2019

The staff hold my mum’s hands at any time and make her feel safe and secure, they give me great feedback and they know my mother very well, she loves them, I can’t fault the staff.

Mrs. E.R, Relative of a resident, July 2019

I have always seen all staff take the time to listen to the residents, staff are very prompt and aware of the resident’s needs.

Relative of a resident, July 2019

We wanted to thank you and all of the team for all that you did for [our relative] since she moved in to Murrayside last year. It was a struggle for her to begin with as she really wanted to stay at home and continue to live independently. It was so appreciated how all the team helped to get Mum settled and happy and feeling part of the family. I take great comfort knowing that she was so well cared for and enjoyed chatting to everyone who frequently came to visit her room. Please do know that all your efforts and hard work are very much appreciated by not just the residents, but all of their family and friends, who are so happy to see their loved ones safe and secure in a happy place where they are welcome and so well looked after and loved.

Family of a resident, July 2019

We can’t thank you enough for the loving care you gave to [our relative] in his last few weeks. His smiles said it all!
