Testimonials

Another visit to see my mam, this has been her home for over 6 years. The hairdresser was doing my mam's hair when I arrived. Lovely homely feel to the home with the smell of home cooking! All areas are bright, clean and most importantly, the service users are well cared for by the amazing care team. [...]I am so thankful that my mam is so well cared for and would definitely recommend Briardene.

Andrea D (Daughter of Resident)

I can’t fault the staff or the home. Briardene is a top place, anyone wishing to place a loved one in there will not be disappointed.
