Cannot fault the care provided at this home. All members of staff are caring and compassionate. There is a huge range of activities, including weekly bus trips. The local primary school are actively involved. The rooms are large and bright. The place is immaculate. There is a lovely, secure garden that
residents have open access to and help maintain. The way the home is managed is professional and efficient. Great communication with family. This is a warm, homely place that provides a safe and caring environment. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Review from L B (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad had an emergency assessment two days after losing his wife. We were shown complete compassion and sympathy. My dad moved in on the same day, and even though it was a horrendous time for us as a family, we were constantly reassured and supported by the carers. He has been there for over a month
now and the change I can see in my dad cannot be put into words. He keeps going on about the high standard of meals and choices. If my dad turns down a meal, the carers offer him several other options to try to get him to eat. His little flat is far more than I could have hoped for. He has a little kitchen area which helps him maintain some independence, filled with his items. The flat and entire home is kept spotless and I love the way all his laundry is done together and not with other residents. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for the carers and they go above and beyond every day. The home keep us updated of any changes and all visitors are made to feel so welcome.

Finavon Court Care Home is a well-operated and run home.
Nothing is too much bother to any of the staff.
As a result of the excellent care and attention, my mother has thrived out of all recognition.
Also, the good quality and choice of food adds to the good experience of the home.
It is of
great peace of mind that my mother is being well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.368)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.368) out of 10 for Finavon Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.768 for Finavon Court is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.768
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Finavon Court 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 6 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.
