My step dad moved into Camowen in February. Since then, he has made a 180 degree turn in so many aspects. His health, his happiness, his whole demeanour has improved sooo much. I can only give positive feedback on all aspects of this home. Warm, friendly, attentive, professional, supportive, caring
staff. A lovely home in so many different ways. I can not recommend this home enough. Thank you to the manager and all of the team for looking after our dad so well, night & day.

My husband came to live at Camowen care home, back in February 2025.
Since he has been in the service he has improved so much, in his mood, he's laughing more, eating and drinking really well, he loves the care staff and says everyone is a gem.
We now got out of the home on day trips, the care staff
are very attentive, as my husbands needs are quite complex.
I would definitely recommend Camowen, nothing is ever too much trouble

My Mother In law was a resident at Camowen since July 2022 until her recent demise. The greatest attribute of Camowen are the same staff who have been excellent and been caring for her throughout. It has been great for her and me to have such consistency and they really got to know her and therefore
meet her needs. The manager is excellent , always trying to think of ways to make things better for the residents. My Mother-in-law was always clean and tidy and well fed - she put on weight whilst there and said that sometimes there was too much to eat!! The home was always lovely and warm too! The team have been very communicative and kept me up to date with all aspects of her care. The care she received in her last weeks of life was excellent and every step was taken to make her as comfortable as possible. All the time she was there, I always knew she was safe and well cared for and which gave great peace of mind. Thank you to you all at Camowen.

We were desperate to find my mother a care home. Camowen came through and we've been very happy with their services they provide. What is a stressful experience, became a friendly and welcoming procedure. I feel my mother gets wonderful attention, the staff are so helpful, offering a professional and
truly caring service. Their dedication is so obvious, we're beyond grateful. I had no knowledge of the industry, these people do an amazing job. Thank you Camowen.

I would like to say how welcoming the staff are at Camowen, feels like home, and nothing is too much trouble. The garden is very well lawned, it's got a nice feel. I love how it feels homely. I have visited quite a few times now, and have always been offered refreshments, time and space. The home is
very clean and there is always someone to speak to. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

My Mother was a resident at Camowen Care Home from March 2022 into March 2024 (her death). At all times she was treated with respect and dignity by the staff. I fully believe that her life was extended by two years by the care she received there. I especially wish to commend 2 senior carers in particular
and the manager for their compassion and professionalism.

Mum has been a resident at Camowen since 2019. Since moving to Camowen her health, mental well-being and overall pleasure in life have flourished. Mum has had the same key worker since admission ensuring consistency. The quality of care is excellent as is the catering, compassion of staff, and overall
management of the care home.

Mum has lived in the care home for a little under a year. Mum is 99 and suffers from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. The care she is receiving is excellent. All the staff are kind and caring and she has benefited from the gentle routine, the excellent meals and the friendly staff. It is great to
know she is in safe hands.

I would just like to thank all the Camowen Care Home staff that have looked after my nan since she came out of hospital. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone. My nan has loved staying with them but due to circumstances, we are having to move her nearer to us. They are very accommodating
and their level of care is amazing. My nan will be sad to say goodbye.

Everyone is well looked after and is cared for in a kind and caring way here and we are treated individually and nothing seems to be too much trouble for all the kind staff employed here. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the home to all I come in contact with and thank them for all their

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.726) out of 10 for Camowen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.726 for Camowen is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.726
  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 Camowen is based on 15 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 15 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.
