My relative has been in Rathgar for several years. All the staff (be it the owner, cleaners or nurses) know residents by name. They take time to listen and are extremely attentive to the residents’ individual needs and characters. Staff also interact with visitors and are friendly, yet professional, at all times. Having a relative in care is always a stressful and worrying time. I can honestly say that my relative would not get the same level of care if he was at home. Previously prone to falls and infections, since being in Rathgar they have been able to minimise these by their outstanding care and attention. Not only are his health needs met, but regular activities and outings have ensured he has maintained an interest in life. My whole family feel included and welcome in his care. Any concerns we have had have been addressed within 24 hours and have been followed up with written and verbal evidence of actions taken. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rathgar Care Home.

This little care home is just the place. My mum is in Rathgar and the staff are fantastic; they are very caring. My mum is not the best to look after, but the care team have given her all the support she has needed to settle in.

My mother has dementia and she has been in the care home at Rathgar since late October 2022. My mother is receiving wonderful care. The carers and management are truly, very caring. I could not wish for a better care home. Since she moved into Rathgar, she has stabilised, seems very happy and has met new friends there. It really is a very loving environment and a home from home. The staff and management are always happy; you can tell they are not just coming in to work, but truly have the motivation to make each and every resident as happy as possible. They treat each and every resident with respect. The food is excellent and the care second to none. My mother and the other residents always look lovely; nicely dressed, fresh and clean. It really is a pleasure to visit. The staff are always very welcoming and happy. I really could not recommend them enough and I am very grateful for the wonderful care my mother receives and the knowledge that she is in very safe hands.

Mum has been at Rothgar Care Home for one year and after a couple of weeks of settling in when she was not happy due to Covid19. She is now very happy and has only good statements to say about the home. She is always clean well fed and safe which I can only hope for if mum is happy then I am happy.

I have nothing but positive good things to say about the staff and the care they provide to my friend who has now been living at Rathgar for almost two years. I am informed about her welfare and care and the communication is brilliant. All the care staff seem very happy in their jobs and it’s like one big happy family environment. Well done to all at Rathgar.
