Reviews for Fairview House Care Home

This is from my experience as a student nurse when I was in my second year in March 2025.
I am writing this review to tell a biggest thank you to fairview house care home and my practice supervisor Sumaira. I completed my first placement in 3rd year which was in Surgical ward this week. I was really stunned by my development in my confidence when I started my placement there. I was able to effortlessly attend calls and interact with MDT professionals. I was genuinely shocked about how much I improved after my care home placement with my supervisor, Sumaira. Once again thank you so much for all your support during my placement and I can say you are one of my best supervisor I have ever got.

"My wife had to be admitted to Fairview following a catastrophic sub-arachnoid haemorrhage in June 2025. As you can imagine, this came totally out of the blue and was completely unexpected. Despite having gone through such a traumatic episode, we were faced with the fact that she would not be coming home. I was a Senior Nurse so my expectations were extremely high. We chose four possibilities, but to be honest, in every way, Fairview was way ahead, and we were so pleased that Mum was offered a place at Fairview. From visiting other care homes , there really was only one which was streets ahead of the others - Fairview. My wife took some time to settle as she didn't understand that Fairview was her new home. Before we were leaving her we would tell a member of staff who came to be with her to make our departure so much easier. I am so happy with the standard of care, the facilities and just the whole feeling of homeliness. I can relax in the knowledge that my wife is well cared for."

"Staff friendly. Cosy homely atmosphere at Fairview. I feel my friend is being looked after as dictated by her diagnosis. She specially enjoys the cooked breakfast as at present she is not eating much."

I recently visited Fairview House. I was welcomed with friendly staff and a great, welcoming atmosphere. The residents looked happy and the place was nice and clean. I was not sure what to expect when visiting a care (this was my first) home but I was wonderfully surprised. Fairview is definitely a place I will consider if my parents ever needed a care home.

"No faults with the care at all/Excellent"

"My relative has been under the care of Fairview House Care Home for almost 3 years and has always received the best of care and attention. The staff are always very supportive, caring and patient. Fairview is very welcoming for relatives and has a great open door policy."

"Mum could not continue to stay in her own home safely, and so much research was done to make sure the best home was found. In my opinion Fairview nursing home is one of the best homes in Aberdeen, and so the family chose here for mum. Mum enjoyed almost 6 months at Fairview. The staff all went beyond the extra mile to make sure all their residents feel special and cared for. Mum needed quite a lot of care towards the end of her chapter and Fairview staff were so professional and caring towards her. The atmosphere at Fairview is so welcoming and you could turn up at any time of the day and always treated the same way, with happy friendly staff. They always made you feel welcome and could update you on any aspect of mums care and wellbeing. It was reassuring that mum was in the best place and family could relax knowing this. Mum was always presented nice and clean and enjoyed the meals. I would certainly recommend Fairview to anyone looking for that extra special place to stay."

"My mum has been in Fairview since August at first she was not happy but as time passed she began to settle in. I think the staff have helped her settle in as they are so friendly and helpfull and nothing is to much bother. We have found that the home has a very good atmosphere and there is always plenty of acivities for the residents to do."

"My mother in law first came into Fairview a few months ago and she wasnt happy but now shes happy and settled. Staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is very good, plenty of activities to do for the residents."

I am very impressed with the friendly staff who make all feel welcome, including visitors. The reception area is very inviting and modern. Everything is kept clean and well-maintained, which must create a comfortable environment for the residents. The staff go above and beyond to help the residents. I am also very impressed at the amount of activities available for the residents to participate in, it's so good that they can still enjoy themselves and have fun together.

"Father has settled in well. Staff and facilities very good. Nice to see him being well looked after."

Staff are compassionate, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to make residents feel comfortable and cared for. The facilities are well-maintained, clean, and welcoming, creating a homely environment for residents. Communication with families is excellent, and it’s clear that residents’ dignity and wellbeing are always a priority. Definitely recommend Fairview Nursing Home to anyone seeking quality care for their loved one.

"When we start out, we look for the perfect care home (just as when we imagine our perfect boyfriend/girlfriend. As we mature we realise that no one and nowhere is perfect in the sense of having no faults, weaknesses, limitations...but don't give up on "perfect" because we CAN find the perfect person FOR US and the perfect place FOR US. In that sense, Barchester's Fairview Care Home in Aberdeen is the perfect place for my Mam (for 3 years now). We, the Management and Staff, Residents, Family and Friends, are doing our best, working hard, being imaginative and creative, as a team, indeed an extended family, in the common desire to make Fairview House a HOME for our loved ones. Perfect homes should not be measured by facilities and brochures so much as by their vision, work rate, steady improvements, ambitions and loving care. So, all things considered, I am giving Barchester's Fairview Care Home 10 out of 10, and the 10 this time is even better than the 10 last time!"

"Happy with Mums care and regular updates. I. Would appreciate it if her hair could be kept tidy and styled. My Mum was always smart and never a hair out of place. Cleanliness is second to none,carers and nurses are second to none and always include my Brother and I in conversation. Activities are fantastic , sorry I cannot attend The Saturday events as I am on Nana duty. Mum very Happy there , which gives us a great sense of relief. No more wandering worries . Thank you to All Staff"

"A lovely place. Excellent staff, always welcoming beautiful and very clean. Offered my dinner, all very helpful and kind. Best care home I have been in, family prompted nicely with meals, lovely meals very nourishing and healthy and tasty."

"Delighted to visit Fairview yesterday & find decorations & lots of effort to celebrate my in-laws 65th wedding anniversary. They were made to feel so special & lots of staff & service users joined in. The cake, fizz & genuine warmth was very much appreciated & made the whole family including those in N.Z., Australia and Canada all feel involved."

"I have found Barchester Fairview House Care Home have provided excellent, effective care to my father-in-law over the period he has lived here. The staff are very attentive to all his needs and have developed very good relationships with him allowing him to have the best quality of life it is possible for him to have. The staff keep us well informed and ensure that we are consulted. His health and wellbeing have improved greatly and we are very grateful for the care he receives and the amazing effort of the staff to provide care and support to him. Thank you all."
