Reviews for Canmore Lodge Care Home

My wife Helen spent her last year in Canmore Lodge she had such a better quality of life and enjoyed herself with the staff and other residents and other visiting relatives. She loved the food and the care she received was first class. The homes manager Jane is first class at her job and runs the place like clockwork, nothing is to much trouble for her. I am so glad my wife spent her last year so happy. I can see first hand why Canmore Lodge wins so many awards and receives so much great reviews.

The Canmore Lodge Care Home is where my older relative had been the last 7 years until her passing earlier this year. It wasn't just the physical care that made her look so well and clean EVERY time we visited but the loving care that made her smile at the nurses and carers when they popped in to check all was well or administer medicine etc.
Canmore Lodge has a relaxed family feel to it and all staff have always been very friendly.
When I arrived recently after being away for many months, I was greeted like a family member, even though my relative had passed away some time previously.
Thank you Jane and Sharon and Kim in particular for your care and all that you did over the years supported by all your staff.
Thanks also for your welcome too and hope I can support you with some voluntary help in the future.

Canmore in my opinion is the best Carehome.
My Mum has been a Resident in Memory Lane for over 3yrs.
It is so daunting having to see a loved one moved into care.
The entire team at Canmore have been supportive from the onset.
Canmore is Mum's home and well with this we have gained an extension to our family in the team that care for Mum, plus the relatives also form friendships.
I am highly critical because I work in care personally, so you could say I tend not to miss a trick.
Long time ago I was taught the five second senses test, basically when one walks into a new environment ones senses should be stimulated in a positive way. Canmore passed with flying colours and I continue to put this test into practice regularly, they continue to deliver.
Hey don't get me wrong, nothing is completely perfect but that is reality, one has to be open minded. But again the team are on it, you bring something to their attention that needs addressed and they are on it.
The guilt of not being able to care for Mum personally, did weigh one down.
However, knowing Mum is at Canmore and this is now her home has removed the guilt.
Mum is in the best place, thank you to everyone ❤️

I had the pleasure of visiting this care home during the Great British Care Cycle Relay where we visited Special Care Homes across Scotland. What a special welcome we received!

When we arrived the residents and staff cheered, waved flags and they prepared special treats for us. The staff were all very friendly and professional. I particularly want to shout out the care delivery of the care home manager. She supported an elderly resident to get in the middle of the photo together, to make sure she was at the heart of the photo and the home.

What a special day, thanks again!

"Our experience with Canmore Lodge has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment my mother moved in, it was clear that the staff genuinely cared about her well-being. They were kind, compassionate, and always went above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable, safe, and respected. The environment was warm and welcoming, making it easier for our family to trust that she was in good hands. The caregivers were attentive to her needs and were proactive in keeping us updated on her health and any changes. It was evident that they treated her like family, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. The activities offered were also wonderful, providing both physical and mental stimulation that greatly enhanced her quality of life. We cannot thank the team at Canmore Lodge enough for the love and care they provided to my mother during her time there. It was truly a place where she felt cared for, valued, and at home."

"My aunt stayed in Canmore Lodge for the last eighteen months. The care she has received has been of the highest standard. She has been visited several times every week by family members who are all adamant that she could not have been better cared for anywhere. The atmosphere in the home is fantastic, the meals etc. are of a very high standard too. Thank you to all the staff and relatives of other residents who echo the thoughts I have expressed."

"My sister has come into Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home to live out the rest of her life. The care that my sister has received since admission is faultless. Prior to admission, I was told my sister had a blister to her heel. However, my sister's heel was necrotic. It has been a slow process. Now always mealed with patience and care from staff within Canmore Lodge. I gave also been supported myself by the care home staff."

"Our mum has been in Canmore Lodge for approx nine months, and our dad for one month prior to him passing away. Both our mum and dad were/are very well looked after, well cared for and provided with respect and dignity, which is exactly what we wanted. The staff are lovely, every one of them is excellent, and it's so good to see our mum finally settled in such a lovely, caring place."
