Review from Bill W (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 30 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When visiting, I find the staff very professional and accommodating. My mother-in-law is well looked after and is included in projects and activities.
Food is tailored to her requirements, which she enjoys.
The home, in general, is clean and tidy with a bright outlook, like a large family house where
everyone is involved.
Minibus trips have recently restarted, which seem to be a hit with the residents, as have visits to a local shop and cafe.
Would definitely recommend this care home.

Thank you, Bill, for your kind words and recognition of the team at Strathview. Your mother-in-law is a joy to care for, and we are thrilled we are able to get out and about again on trips with our residents. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been a resident at Strathview for about three years. I have no worries about her care as I have always been informed in a timely manner if she has been unwell or has any sort of problem.
When I visit, she is happy and the staff cheery. When taking her out for a visit, she is dressed appropriately
for the occasion and weather.
I consider myself fortunate that my aunt was able to get residential care at Stathview.

Excellent service in every respect.
My sister moved to Strathview recently, and the care and attention she received
was first-class.
This home has a small enough capacity that enables each resident to be given truly tailored attention by the caring staff.

Review from R I (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Strathview during the first lockdown in 2020, so we weren't able to visit in advance. We chose this particular care home based on reviews, reports and recommendations, and we have never once regretted our choice. Although the pandemic was not the ideal time for Mum to have to make the
move into residential care, Strathview handled the situation as well as they possibly could have done in the circumstances. I've been particularly impressed with the very low turnover of staff, which gives the residents good continuity and also reflects very well on the general atmosphere within the home. Communication with relatives is excellent, the staff are friendly and positive, and the home makes great efforts to provide activities and to mark special occasions such as Christmas, individual residents' birthdays and the recent Jubilee celebrations. As a family, we have been very happy with the care Mum is receiving.

My mother has been a resident at Strathview for over three years now. I am

The staff are extremely caring and motivated people who strive to understand individual patient needs. Nothing seems to be too much bother. They are always smiling.
They are dealing with complex resident issues very well.
They put resident needs at the centre of what they do.

My mother moved into the home in April 2022 and is settling in well. She is very well looked after, and all staff are friendly and have incredible patience! My mother tells me she is happy in Strathview, the staff are excellent, and the food is very good. The rooms are very good and kept clean as are
the common areas. Being all on one level is ideal for my mother, who is not good on her feet. All in all, I am very happy with Strathview and would recommend it.

Mum has settled in very well at Strathview. We find it is very homely and all staff are very friendly and caring towards the residents and their families. There are plenty of activities for residents and trips out in the minibus. Everyone is kept up to date with the regular meetings for residents and
relatives and can have a say on any matters arising. Overall I have great peace of mind as I know my mum is getting the best of care at Strathview.

My Mum has been a resident in Strathview Care Home for almost 2 years during her stay I have found the staff to be very helpful, kind and they genuinely care about their residents. Mum has dementia and is not independently mobile so requires a lot of support and I feel that Strathview is the right place
for her to have her needs met. She is always clean, well dressed and when I have been visiting around meal times the food looks and smells tasty. The home has been recently decorated and has new soft furnishings and this has made a huge difference to residents, staff and visitors it looks really lovely.

Review from Marina S (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had stayed at a 'sister' home of Strathview (Scoonie House) which my mother was very happy to return to for respite However, there were no respite places available which resulted in my contacting Strathview for her 20 day period of respite. Both homes are excellent which to me says a lot
about the Caring Homes Group. Their staff are obviously well selected and trained appropriately. Regarding Strathview in particular my mother loved the views from the window and could not praise the staff highly enough. My mother was there over Xmas and was made very happy. When I or my brother were visiting we both commented on the the staff being exceptionally pleasant and the home well run. I had reason to 'phone today about a financial aspect of my mother's care which I had been reluctant to pursue as all the staff had been so kind to my mother. I need not have worried - I could not have had a better response to my call. Five stars+ from a very happy reviewer.

All the care staff are friendly and approachable. I find the level of care given to my parents to be very good. I know the home has been understaffed and the staff have been stretched a bit lately. Hopefully, when the positions are filled it will make it easier for everyone. The residents have missed
out slightly on their activities whilst the coordinator was going through further training. On the whole very happy with the home.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Strathview Care Home 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.980 for Strathview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.98
  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 Strathview Care Home is based on 13 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 13 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.

Abi Rose-Armstrong

Job Title: Home Manager

“I have worked at Strathview for more than 7 years and, prior to that, cared for my mum and worked in the private care sector. At Strathview, I’ve worked my way up from administrator to deputy Manager and finally home manager so I know the team well. I have always worked very closely with my team which is very important to me.
As a small home, it’s vital that we support each other and work well as a team. Every member of the team knows they can speak to me whenever they may need to and the same goes for our residents and their families.
I enjoy seeing how even just the smallest interaction on a daily basis can lighten someone’s face and make a difference. I work with people who have given their all to everyone around them and now it is their time to be looked after.
I personally feel that development and training is very important for both the team and myself – every day is a school day! I am proactive in supporting my team to take up all the opportunities provided as we want to be able to offer the best experience possible to our residents, delivering quality care.”
