Review from Amanda W (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was admitted in February 2025 due to unforeseen circumstances. It was a very trying time for dad and myself as he was adamant that he would never go into care and was quite resistant with all the staff. All the staff were absolutely brilliant with him and his moods and behaviour they deserve a medal.
Now June he has settled and has started to join in the activities, something that I never thought I would see him do. Thanks to all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
MY mother lived at Firth House for 6 years. She suffered from ongoing dementia during this period, the experience that both my mother and myself was always super. I got to know the manager and the staff well and often shared a cup of tea during my visits. Prior to my mother moving into Firth House was
quite insular, bordering on anti-social, but thanks to the daily activities, she became more cheerful and socialised with other residents - thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Firth House was Dad's happy home for over 2 years. All the staff treated him with love and compassion, care and dignity. He enjoyed many of the activities especially a new found enthusiasm for dancing and meeting visiting furry friends including a llama and a sheep. On Burns night, the haggis was ceremonially
accompanied by a bagpiper in full regalia. Words cannot express my gratitude for helping my mum and I with such kindness at a very difficult time.

The care and attention all the staff gave to my late husband was outstanding. In my opinion they went above and beyond to look after him from the day he was admitted until the end of life.

I am a friend of a service user who lives at Firth House, all I can say is this care home is fabulous. The staff are so caring, efficient and welcoming, the range of activities and special events they do are great for the residents and get everyone involved. It's like one big family, they love it when
we take our dog in to visit and always make a fuss of her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Firth house is a wonderful place for my nana. I would fully recommend it. It is like home from home. From the minute you walk inside staff greet you like family. They know every resident as if they were their own relatives and the compassion they have for each individual is obvious. My nana is always
clean when we visit, wearing her own clean clothes with her hair done and is often engaged in activities arranged by the home, which is great as she is quite a sociable sort. We are allowed to take the dog to see her as she adores dogs and they facilitate us taking Nana out to town with the loan of a wheelchair etc. I doubt there are many care homes left as brilliant as Firth house! Keep up the good work team!

I am very happy with the service my mother is receiving at Firth House. All the staff are attentive, welcoming and friendly. There are a variety of activities that my mother can attend, and she is really enjoying the food! Having relocated from another care home in Germany, the staff have ensured that
my mother has felt at home from the start, and has settled in very well. Thank you to everyone!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Firth House 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.976 for Firth House is calculated as follows: ( (371 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.976
  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 Firth House is based on 32 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 32 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.
