I just wanted to write in because I feel very passionate about the care and time Fearne has show me. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and naturally empathetic in their role. I feel like Fearne is a real asset to the care home, and I hope she’s valued there too, because I am grateful she is amongst the care of my family. Thank you Fearne!

Heartfelt Appreciation for Buchan House Care Home From the very first phone call, the administrative staff made the entire process smooth and stress free. They were patient, informative and truly listened to our concerns. Navigating the paperwork and transition into care can be overwhelming, but they walked us through every step with kindness and clarity. Their support made us feel confident and reassured during what could have been a very difficult time. We were equally impressed by the caregivers and nursing staff. They treat everyone with respect and gentleness and you can tell that people are thriving in their care. They genuinely care about the wellbeing and happiness of their residents. The facility is spotless and welcoming, they have created a supportive and loving environment, that feels like a community. Buchan House is more than just a care home it’s a place where people are treated like family.

The level of care and attention given to each resident is truly outstanding, with personalised support that makes all the difference.
