Selkirk House care home, Plymstock

I am happy that my mum is safe and very well cared for. Staff are attentive and meet her needs. Mum always seems very happy, she has a lovely room and is enjoying living at Selkirk.

Living abroad in never easy when you have aging parents and so I can not express my relief and delight strongly enough at seeing how well Mum has settled into Selkirk House. The care and professionalism of all the staff is fantastic and I thank you for all the care and support you provide.

My Mum moved into Selkirk House almost two months ago. She has quickly adapted to her new environment and despite her dementia, is now very settled. The staff have been extremely supportive and very responsive to her personal needs and preferences. They encourage Mum to join in with other residents on their daily organised activities which she find… Read mores enjoyable and helps her to socialise. There is a friendly, positive atmosphere throughout the home and the best complement I can pay then is that Mum never talks about missing her time in the family home as she is very contented.

My darling mother has lived at Selkirk House for some 20 months now. As her health has deteriorated the level of care needed has increased. I cannot speak too highly of the kindness, compassion and good nature with which she is looked after, not just every day but several times a day. The place is amazing and is staffed by such incredible people f… Read morerom the Manager and the Deputy Manager, through team leaders and carers to the cleaning ladies and management staff. Every one of them is so kind, so professional and so caring. I am so pleased I chose Selkirk Hpuse for my beautiful mother.

After a long search in and around the area, I came across Selkirk House. From the first meeting with the manager, I knew this was the place for my mum to live. I have not been disappointed. The care from the manager to team leaders, care staff, cleaners and not to forget to mention the activities staff have all been one big excellent team to delive… Read morer and care for the residents. My mum is loved and cared for with lovely smiles, dignity and respect. She is happy, not stressed and has been kept busy. When not well, she is attended to on a regular basis, sitting and holding her hand, and comforting her. As a family, we also get a lot of support and each time we call or visit we are made so welcome, thank you.

During nearly two years that my wife has been a resident, I have been witness on many occasions to staff showing tact and patience, not only to my wife, but other residents also. I give all staff full marks - 10/10

Dad has been at Selkirk for almost two years now. He calls it his hotel, which is lovely as that is a perfect description - his own room with en-suite and cupboard space for storage as well as a mini kitchen area. It's clean and comfortable but most importantly it has the most amazing team of carers. No matter how tired they may be they always go … Read moreover and above to make sure their residents are happy and they do it with a smile! I can't thank them enough for being part of our family, that's what it feels like to us. The cheeky, fun moments they share with Dad are so lovely and puts my mind at rest to know he is truly cared for there. Thank you to all the staff, you do a great job and we really appreciate you!
