The staff not only go above and beyond for our relative but they also ensure fairness amongst family visits. We have been able to build a strong rapport with the staff. They are extremely good with the little ones and family.

Review from Steve P (Son of Resident) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was admitted to 'Craignair' at the start of May 2020. I had looked after her for 7 years, as she wished to live by herself and remain independent. She was always very vociferous about this. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's and physical frailty had started to take their toll over the last few years,
and so it was with great sadness I had to accept that her interests would be best served in residential care.
I have to say that the management and all the staff of 'Craignair' have been nothing short of superb. Particularly under these very difficult national circumstances. My sadness at having to place my Mum there has been offset somewhat by the excellent way in which she is being cared for. I don't believe I could have entrusted her welfare to better people.
She is now 92, living in a place where she is properly cared for by professional and caring people and being treated with the respect and consideration she so richly deserves. And, most importantly, she is happy.

My mum has left Craignair now after being a resident for over 2 years. I would like to thank all the dedicated management and staff for all the professional support and kindness throughout my mum's stay there.
I would highly recommend Craignair to anyone considering a quality care home to reside.
Thank
you all again on behalf of my mum’s family.

Review from Annette L (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we are so pleased with the standard of care and support Mum receives at Craignair. She settled in very quickly and is very well looked after since arriving at Craignair. The manager is very considerate and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are very friendly, helpful and so kind to
Mum, it is very much appreciated. Craignair is always spotlessly clean and Mum always enjoys her food. Mum has to have a gluten-free diet but this is well catered for at Craignair.
We now have peace of mind knowing how well Mum is cared for at Craignair. Thank you very much. Craignair fully deserves the high rating the Quality Care Commission gave them.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.238)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.238) out of 10 for Craignair 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Craignair is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Craignair is based on 1 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 = 3
    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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.2 = 0.238
  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.
