Rathside Care Home has been and continues to be a lifeline to me, my family and my parents. They go over and beyond to ensure that my parents are well cared for and always contact me if they are concerned. They ensure that residents are kept entertained and there is always something going on to keep
them busy. My parents are settled in the care home and we have no issues or concerns. We, as a family, feel like part of the Rathside family and are welcomed warmly when we visit.

Its lovely to see them so settled now. Being together adds to their quality of life. Thank you for the lovely words. I will ensure that the rest of the [team gets to see them .

Mum has been a resident at Rathside for almost two years now. The care team do a fantastic job, keep us well informed on mums welfare and in particular with all of the covid related restrictions and regulations in recent times. Mum is always happy and looks very well and healthy. We feel so reassured
that mum is being well cared for by a very professional team. Thank you Rathside Care Team!

Mum has been in Rathside Care Home for several years now with Dementia, she has always been well looked after. The staff are fantastic people, nothing is too much trouble, communication is always good. The last couple of years through the pandemic were handled well by Rathside Care Home and the residents
were kept safe. I would recommend Rathside Care Home.

My Mum went into Rathside Care Home in March 2020 at very short notice, on a temporary basis following a bad fall. Due to the fact she was so very well cared for there, this temporary arrangement became permanent after a few months. I have nothing but praise for the manager and all the staff who look
after my mum so very well. She is encouraged to be as independent as possible, to participate in the activities and to mix with other residents. She 'loves' the meals and particularly enjoys the special occasions like 'Mr Music'. She sees it as a real treat to have her hair and nails done. Very recently she had a seizure and throughout that night the fantastic staff stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. Staff kept me fully informed and liaised with the hospital whilst we were there. My mum could not wait to return 'home' and the sheer delight on her face when she returned was something that will stay with me forever. I have peace of mind that my mum is safe, well looked after and well-cared for.

My mum has been a resident for the last four years and I am very happy with the care she receives. The home is clean and very well run. There is good communication between the home and myself and we are kept up to date on all things. The manager is very friendly and is on the ball at all times, especially
over the last two years. The staff are all friendly and I am very happy to leave my mum in their care and know she will be well looked after. Entertainment is good, in fact, they have a better social life than I do. Full marks to Rathside Care Home and its staff and thank you for taking care of my mum.

Rathside Care Home is a haven for my mother who has dementia and has lived there for the past five years. The staff are wonderful going above and beyond their roles as carers. The management is also amazing keeping us all well informed and welcoming us whenever we visit. Meals are varied and nutritious
and cater for individual needs there are always activities going on, in groups or individually if residents want. Can’t praise them enough.

My Mum’s decline was very rapid and I found myself having to find a care home for her at short notice. I can’t begin to express how thankful I am that there was a place for her at Rathside Care Home. Mum had some trouble settling in but the staff have done everything they can to help and encourage her
and now she seems much happier. Every member of staff I have encountered is professional, dedicated, respectful, friendly, caring and seems genuinely happy to be there. Mum is at ease and relaxed around the staff, which is wonderful to see. Access to the home has been limited due to Covid restrictions but the in-house facilities seem excellent. Mum has been very complimentary about the food and special attention is paid to her diet to help her put on some weight. A few more updates when Mum first moved in would have been good and replies to queries can be a little slow but I really cannot fault Rathside or its staff. I would recommend it without hesitation and am grateful for all they do for Mum.

My Mum has been at Rathside since last November having moved from another care home who felt unable to meet her long-term needs. Mum is quite far into her dementia journey and I was extremely anxious about the move and how it would affect her. I need not have worried. The staff went out of their way
to not only support and care for Mum, ensuring she settled quickly and easily, but also to support me by keeping me fully informed of how she was, and encouraging me to ring as much as I needed to. The manager and staff are amazing and their dedication to providing their residents with the best care shines through. Mum is treated with respect and dignity and staff have clearly taken time to get to know her and how best to support her. Rathside has a lovely friendly feel and is clean, comfortable and homely. I cannot recommend it enough.

The management and all the staff are all amazing carers and delighted we chose Rathside for my father. He has been in the home since April 2020 and he now looks better than he did 5 years ago. Through the difficult times with Covid, they have been sympathetic with the family's needs and accommodated
visits when they were allowed even at short notice. The home certainly meets and excels in all the care needs for my father. Well done Rathside.

The care my dad received from the manager and staff was exemplary and he commented how well they had looked after him. They also gave me a great deal of support as this was all new to me. They kept me regularly informed on how he was progressing and nothing was too much trouble. They kept him busy and
occupied with a good range of activities.

I would like to thank all the staff at Rathside for caring for my mother in these difficult circumstances. I always receive a warm smile and a caring sensitive approach whenever I visit or speak over the phone.
It's been challenging times during this pandemic and now the visits have stopped the staff
have gone over and beyond expectations sending me photos of my mother to let me know hows she's doing. It's so lovely to see my mum engaging in different activities and looking so happy and content.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my very first visit to Rathside, the staff have always exceeded my expectations. My Grandma's dementia progressively became worse, to the point that there was no option but to consider a care home. Rathside made this very difficult time much easier. The whole team were, and are, extremely warm,
caring and willing to answer any questions. They also clearly genuinely care for their residents and have their best interests at heart. Since my Grandma has been staying with them, she has regained her mojo. She loves spending time with her new friends, enjoys the food and entertainment on offer and appreciates being at a place in which she feels safe. Overall, Rathside has dramatically helped my Grandma's emotional wellbeing and given me the peace of mind that she is safe and happy.

My mother is extremely comfortable, happy and contented and always comments very positively on how well she is being looked after and the quality of her food and her care when we visit her, every week. As she was admitted during the Covid19 pandemic period, we have been unable to enter the home to see
her room or the facilities. However, the management team and staff have been extremely accommodating and helpful, allowing some of her furniture, books and belongings to be transferred to her room and pictures hung on the walls. The team are very positive during this very difficult period and always have time for a joke and a little banter, which my mother much enjoys and indeed often initiates.

This is a fantastic care home and I cannot emphasise enough how good the care is here. Personal care is excellent, the staff treat every resident with great respect and genuinely show interest in everyone residing here. I particularly like the fact that the ethos is about it being the home of the residents
rather than somewhere they just reside and this is reflected in the care given. The care home has lots of activities to help keep everyone active and engaged. The catering staff have worked very hard to achieve the well earned 5 stars and the food is really good. The excellent standards that the home continuously demonstrates are led by a caring and compassionate leadership team. This is the best home I have come across and I am very grateful for the care my father receives.

Mum has been in Rathside Care Home since March 2019 when it became too difficult to care for her at home. We viewed several homes before deciding that Rathside was the best place for mum. The management and staff are fabulous, they have always treated mum with the utmost kindness and care, nothing is
too much trouble for them. The meals always look delicious and well balanced. I have no hesitation in recommending Rathside and I wouldn't want mum to be anywhere else.

Mum was placed into Rathside Care Home after a fall at home in April 2019. We truly found a golden egg. The care mum receives is outstanding, she is always clean, warm, well-fed and happy (without exception). The staff are friendly, relaxed and most of all, so easy going with the residents and families
alike, nothing is to much trouble. An extremely welcoming environment.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.252)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.252) out of 10 for Rathside Care Home 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 4.714 for Rathside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.714
  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 4.538 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rathside Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.938
  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.
