Caring and competent staff. Nothing is too much trouble. A happy and safe place. The rooms are airy and clean, and the food is consistently good.

Having experienced visiting several care homes this year to visit grandparents I can honestly say Rathside Care Home would definitely get 5 stars from me. The staff are amazing and have a lot of time for the residents, you can genuinely see they care about them and offer them the support they need.
Rathside has encouraged my grandma to do things and participate in activities that she has not done for many years and I have not seen her this happy in such a long time. This home is definitely a place where you know your loved ones are being looked after well, which gives my family peace of mind as we live over 100+ miles away.

Can't thank the team at Rathside enough for the care they've given my Grandma this year. They have made her feel totally at home and really tended her thoughtfully and considerately over some tricky times. Everyone is professional yet caring, strong yet sensitive. Very clever the way the "residents"
are involved in daily activities which allows them to maintain much of the normal routines they had in their own homes - I say "residents" in inverted commas because it actually feels like one big family! The entertainment and engagement provided for the residents is phenomenal and I love that there are regular events that we can all attend together as a family.

Review from Jamie A (Grandson of Resident) published on 20 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family member entered Rathside Care Home as a result of fracturing her hip, almost four years ago. At that time, our relative was more than at a stage where she needed help and care, but would not see this. Rathside from day one, have cared for her, given her a new lease of life in that she is properly
fed and medically cared for. The staff are fantastic and always busy. I feel they genuinely care too, which is so important too.
Before this experience, I can say others in the past weren’t pleasant, but the home has genuinely shown me what a little care and job respect can do for someone. From the owner to all the staff, I can genuinely say they are there for the resident, the resident's family and anyone else involved. Would recommend this home every day of the week to any family.

I have visited other homes in the local area to see other relatives and always find that if I were in a residential home it would be this one. The home and rooms are always clean and everyone seems very caring towards my mother who has been in this home for 9 years now, I have seen a lot of changes
but the high standards of care have always been excellent.

We tried and reviewed several homes prior to placing our mum at Rathside Care Home.
Rathesides level of care, understanding of our mum's condition, dementia and overall attention to our mum is second to none.
Thank you Rathside for allowing us to relax knowing mum is in excellent hands and to enjoy
times with mum again.

In June 2018, Dad transitioned from care in his own home to residential care at Rathside. The management and staff at Rathside supported us all so well and Dad settled quickly. The staff are professional and caring, but importantly they smile and have fun with Dad. On the days when he is mobile, he
dances with me3mbers of staff and he likes the organised activities like singing to the 'Music Man'. Dad does now think of Rathside as home.

My mother has been at Rathside for 3 years.
The care she has received has been excellent and consistent.
Everything for her comfort and well-being is administered in an efficient and caring way.
I cannot fault Rathside in any way.
The security and running of the home are second to none.
I know
my mother is in a safe, friendly, caring environment and would recommend the care home in every way.

I cannot rate Rathside Car Home highly enough! Mum is safe and loved there. The caring team are devoted and clearly enjoy their work. It’s clean and homely and I hope that if I need 24-hour care later in my life that my family will choose Rathside for me!

Rathside were able to take my mother in at very short notice after a serious fall and have been very caring towards her and helped her deal with her disabilities. My mother feels safe and happy in the home.

Since my Mum came to Rathside in October, the level of care and dignity showed to her by care staff has been exemplary. They have display3ed fantastic patience and have gone the extra mile by taking time to find out about her family and learning everyone's name before they visit. We have always been
very impressed with all the activities that take place. This level of care and professionalism must be conveyed to staff.

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.
