Review from Chris B (Son of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mother has been living here, my sister and I have only excellent things to say about all the staff who work there. They arrange activities for the residents to take part should they wish or they are happy for them to spend time alone in their rooms. All the staff not only engage with the residents,
but all the visitors they receive and offer coffee etc to to them. Their response to somebody standing on the pressure pads in their rooms was impressive and very reassuring. The staff all very willing to help any resident with anything they may need.
Having seen my mother in another home for two weeks, The Emilie Galloway Home of Rest has shown me how a care home can be so much more friendly and caring. The whole set up of the rooms etc are light and airy with plenty of room for the various equipment required for the residents to get around.
The food is also varied and plentiful along with being very tasty. This I have learnt from the other residents who have also been very complimentary about this home.

My husband was a resident at Tweed, The Emilie Galloway Home of Rest for the last 20 months of his life.
The wonderful team made his stay with them so happy, right up to his last moment. They are totally professional in every respect, but this is achieved in a relaxed and caring way, always thoughtful
of the resident's individual needs and wants. I was always warmly welcomed by everyone on my regular visits to my husband. They go the extra mile - always with a smile.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has just spent 5 weeks in this lovely Care Home. She has been so well looked after, made lots of friends and thoroughly enjoyed her stay. The food was lovely and plenty of it. The staff are all amazing and so happy to help their residents and show a genuine caring attitude. The setting is
lovely and bright and very convenient for seaside walks if you have the mobility.
As family, it was so important for us to know that our Mum was happy, safe and being well looked after. She participated in plenty of activities and was made to feel part of the Tweed family during her stay.
I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely place - it is like walking into a warm hug!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has recently become a resident and has settled really quickly. She speaks highly of all the staff and their help and kindness, of her enjoyment of the 'lovely food', and of the activities available despite the restrictions Covid has imposed. The staff communicate with me regularly and are
readily available should I need to communicate with them.
They are proactive in planning care and ensure my mother's needs are anticipated and addressed. We are very pleased with her care and are so glad she has found a lovely home.

Thank you so much for a lovely review. Our staff have worked so hard to keep everyone safe during Covid. We are so pleased to have been able to reopen our lovely home to new residents.

My experience of The Emilie Galloway Home of Rest has been good to excellent and I have always been made welcome and invited to join in with any activities. My mother has also received exceptional care. It is a homely place to live and she is treated very well. It is also comforting to know my mother
is in a secure and safe environment.

I am a volunteer and go to The Emilie to read poetry and do quizzes and have been going for several years. I very much enjoy going and seeing the residents who are so content and wonderfully cared for. There is such a calm and happy atmosphere. The home is run superbly and all the staff are very dedicated
and I am full of praise for them and for the manager.

My mother-in-law was resident here until she sadly passed away this month. She was extremely well cared for during her residence and during the last few weeks of her life, all of the staff went above and beyond expectations in their care and also their support to us as her family. We cannot thank them
enough and have no hesitation in recommending this superb care home.

We regularly visit our friend in this home. The standard of care is always excellent. The staff are very pleasant and treat the residents with kindness and are always on hand to help them when necessary. The meals are varied and well cooked. There are various activities organised each day. I would recommend
this home to family and friends should they need to be looked after.

My mother is partially sighted, very deaf and has dementia. The staff are extremely kind and sensitive to her needs, and there have been many occasions when I have been approaching her room, and they have been unaware of my presence, so I know that their response to her is not just because I am there.
She has never complained about anything.

Although I am an infrequent visitor to my mother as I live abroad, the staff are so welcoming. During her transition from her martial home to here, all involved in her huge change in life were so helpful, kind and understanding. I am just so happy that she, mum, is being so well cared for and is so
happy. The comfort that gives our family is huge. I can't praise the staff enough. The atmosphere is also so pleasant, something I had dreaded on my first visit.

I have only been a resident for one year. I am family independent but when I need help, the staff are always happy to help. The food is excellent and varied. Cleanliness is very good. Activities are many and varied and respect given to resident's likes and dislikes.
Respect and care is shown to those
who need extra care.
I personally, am free to come and go as I wish. A welcome awaits your return and also visitors are welcome. I feel I am happy and blessed.

Review from S A (Resident) published on 28 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was highly recommended by 2 friends who came here to "have a go" and they stayed. That is what happened to me!
We are a family. There is never any gossip or discord between the carers (about 12 nations).
The food is 5 star and standard and the menu is varied.
There is nothing left to be desired.
Everything is done for us. I can freely have visitors and lead an independent life. There is always laughter and a most peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. I don't want to be anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.285)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.285) out of 10 for The Emilie Galloway Home of Rest is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 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 4.958 for The Emilie Galloway Home of Rest is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.958
  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 4.327 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Emilie Galloway Home of Rest is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.2 = 0.952
  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.
