Staff and residents at Barchester’s Kirkburn Court care home in Peterhead were delighted to be named one of the Top 20 care homes in Scotland by the independent internet care home reviews website, carehome.co.uk with an overall score of 9.9 out of 10.

Recognition: Kirkburn Court in Peterhead.

Carehome.co.uk is often one of the first places people will look when searching for a care home for a loved one, and is independently run to ensure that all reviews are vetted and come from people who have genuine experience of the homes that they are reviewing.

The awards recognise the 20 top rated care homes in each region of the UK based on reviews from residents, their friends and family.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of carehome.co.uk, said: “Reviews of Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home show they provide an excellent standard of care and we would like to congratulate them on being a Top 20 care home in Scotland.

"It is such an achievement to be named as a top rated care home by the residents who actually receive the care as well as their family and friends.

“Choosing a care home can be emotionally and physically exhausting for both the person going to live there as well as their family, so we hope our awards which are given to the highest rated homes will help make the search easier.”

General Manager of Kirkburn Court, David Garland, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be named a Top 20 home by carehome.co.uk, it just goes to show what a credit to the home the team at here really are.

"I am so proud of all of their hard work and dedication to the people they care for, that’s why we have this award – because they truly are people that care.”
