Review from Cat M (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Glenmuir is a wonderful place. The carers are professional, kind, empathetic, knowledgeable and just amazing.
My dad was there only for 4 months, but I knew he was in safe hands. It always felt like he was part of a family, and so did I. Everyone treated him with respect, dignity, kindness, and humour.
The manager and her team are such incredible people, I really can not thank them enough for what they did. He was never alone. Their communication is excellent. Everything was always thought of and anything that needed to be done was done immediately.
Thank you to everyone who works there for taking such thoughtful care of my dad and also me.

A very warm welcoming and loving home.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided at Glenmuir. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff here are not only professional but incredibly friendly, making my gran feel like part
of their family. The facilities are always clean and tidy, creating a comfortable and homely environment. It is evident that each resident receives individualised and loving care, which is truly heartwarming to witness. I can wholeheartedly recommend Glenmuir to anyone seeking a warm, welcoming and loving home for their loved ones.

My mother has been at Glenmuir House since February 2022. All the staff are to be commended for their patience, support and fortitude in dealing with her. All care is given with her best interests first and with the greatest of kindness, although she didn't always see it that way! Things have changed
within her in the past couple of months and she is more happy with her lot.

Glenmuir House is a home where my mother felt loved - she felt safe and happy - her needs were always met. Staff always kind and friendly - her room always clean - when I visited my mother I was nearly always offered a hot drink. The support and care I was shown when my mother passed away was amazing
- I would recommend Glenmuir House to anyone.

My stepmother has mostly been very happy in Glenmuir. She chose to be a resident, and she could not have made a better choice! Her one complaint is the unreliable bell system. I have found all staff to be very friendly and helpful. The manager has been exceptionally supportive and helpful. She is very
approachable and patient. My stepmother has been well cared for in Glenmuir.

My family and I are always welcome. There is always someone to answer any questions that we may have. The staff are happy and very kind so that makes us feel good. The food is so good and varied.
As soon as we arrive, we are given a cup of tea. We receive a phone call if anything happens so as a family
we are more than satisfied.

My Mum, who will be 100 this year, has been a resident of Glenmuir Care Home for the last two and a half years and I can honestly say she is very happy with her stay there.
The staff take excellent care of her and make our lives easier as well as Mums. It was a worry when we had to move her to a care
home after living in the same house for nearly 70 years but she settled in very quickly and has never wanted to live anywhere else from the day she arrived.

Review from Laura (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise the staff at Glenmuir House enough! In December 2017, my 90 year old grandad was living at home, but was unwell and admitted to hospital with pneumonia. He was discharged and put into emergency respite. Social care found a bed and he was moved, he had no idea where he was going and he
was very anxious and had lost his confidence, but the staff were amazing with him and made him feel comfortable and at home immediately. I was surprised at how settled he was within a few days.
Going home wasn’t really an option because his mobility was so bad. Grandad has been living at Glenmuir House for over a year now and is happy, content and confident. The staff have provided excellent care, especially when he has been unwell, the care is amazing, the home is clean and feels like home rather than an institution and the staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful to family too. I’m so pleased that the emergency respite was at Glenmuir, we were very lucky!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Glenmuir House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.767 for Glenmuir House is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.767
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glenmuir House is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
