Our daughter has lived at Davids Close for the last 13 years. During this time, she has appeared settled and happy, and we have been delighted with the care provision, safety aspects and varied programme. Our daughter is very vulnerable and suffers from complex needs. She is always treated with kindness,
understanding and dignity. The staff are trained appropriately and comply fully with the GP and consultants' directions. All staff are friendly, welcoming and keep us informed of any events or changes.

~My friend lives in this home, and I simply cannot express my gratitude to the amazing staff and management for the excellent care that they give. My friend requires logs of care and she is always well presented and treated with dignity.
Despite her disability, she is always included in all activities
and outings, of which there are many, the staff go above and beyond for birthdays and events, from decorations to cakes and buffets. I am so very thankful she resides here.

My daughter has been well cared for at Davids Close after being very ill this year, we both had wonderful support from management and all the staff. She is happy there and needs a lot of support with feeding and other things which the staff give her. I couldn't wish for better care. She has her own
room with a hoist and everything she needs to help her also dolls and teddies. I'm happy that my daughter is very well cared for. And thank you to all the people at Davids Close who care for her. I can recommend Davids Close for everybody who needs it.

My daughter has lived at David's Close for over two years and in that time has received excellent care. her dementia is sadly progressing but the staff ensure she has as much fun as possible. She loves singing and she has several musical activities. I have enjoyed time in the garden with her and am
always made to feel very welcome when I visit. I couldn't ask for a better place for her to live. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our whole family are impressed and so appreciative of the wonderful care our sister is receiving in this care home. The level of expertise from management and all the staff is commendable. In the 18 months since our darling sister moved in here, we have seen her physical health improve 100% all due
to the levelling attention and stimulation from all the staff, her emotional and cognitive well-being has clearly improved enormously. We are so grateful that our sister has such a safe and loving forever home. The interactions and updates provided to all our family and close friends are open, clear and respectful. Thank you!

We have been very happy with the care received while my sister has been a resident at Alan Aitchison Care Home. Her room is always clean and warm in the winter. Her appearance is always good, she is always clean and well-dressed. The staff are welcoming and always have time for a chat. But even more
importantly my sister is happy and contented there.

My son is at the home permanently due to covid-19. We get regular updates, including photos by email of how he is and the activities he is doing. He is also brought to the phone to chat. My son is happy and contented; he enjoys living there and gets on well with the other residents, and the excellent
staff who are caring and kind.

Overall, David's Close provides good service to its clients. There seems to be a lot of medication, which we would like to know more about. This is a downside of info from David's Close.
In general, the food and the staff meet all that is required of a good provider.
Reply from Tracie Green, Manager at Alan Atchison Residential Services - Davids CloseResidents all have their own Doctor and where required a consultant, who will visit on a regular basis, health needs are closely monitored and reviewed by health professionals. When necessary medication is prescribed to meet the needs of the individual resident and strict protocols are in place.

Review from M G (Niece of Resident) published on 10 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle has complex needs and the staff are able to meet them professionally and with much care. My uncle has been at Davids Close for nearly 3 years and I have been able to relax in the knowledge that he is safe, well cared for, I know the staff go that extra mile for him. He is vulnerable and so
it is important that his family are 100% confident about his care and we are. My uncle spends a lot of time asleep so when I visit on a weekly basis, I have really got to know the staff and feel happy that he is in the correct environment.


The staff ensure he has the best quality of life he can, considering his complex needs. For example, visiting his old workplace to see his friends, going to day centres where he needs much support, but still going even if he is asleep in his wheelchair in case he wakes and can enjoy some of the visit.


A lot of thought goes into the lives of each resident, to ensure they enjoy life as much as they can and they are not just left around the house.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.598)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.598) out of 10 for Alan Atchison Residential Services - Davids Close is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.898 for Alan Atchison Residential Services - Davids Close is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.898
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alan Atchison Residential Services - Davids Close is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 11 registered maximum number of service users is 2.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
