The carers dont communicate enough with relatives. Washing residents clothes is a shambles. My husbands clothes were always going missing and still is. I take them home now.

The dedication and support and help from everyone at Glennie House, staff and management, has been fantastic. Our mother would not be here with us but for the care and love from all in Boswell. Even before she had her accident, she has settled in here great.

Mum was only in the care home for a few months before passing away. All of the staff are excellent and kept us advised of Mum's condition on an ongoing basis.
The nurses were very professional and showed a lot of empathy at a very difficult time and made our family feel at ease.

Since September 2024 our mother has been cared for at Glennie House Care Home. The staff are very friendly and make a huge effort to ensure our mother is healthy and happy.

My dad had the best care at Glennie House. Every member of staff showed him care, compassion, and love and nothing was ever too much trouble. The dignity that my dad was given when he passed was so kind. The care that all my dad's family was given will never be forgotten. I will always be grateful to
everyone at Glennie for making my dad happy.

My dad spent two weeks at Glennie House for respite care. As a family, we had no idea how to approach or organise anything concerning care homes but the staff at Glennie House were just so helpful and friendly. My dad's stay was comfortable and he enjoyed the company of the staff and the food! The respite
care provided the 24-hour care that Dad needed at that time. Nothing is too much trouble at Glennie House and the minute we walked through the door we felt welcome and relaxed. A very positive experience. Thank you.

There wouldn't be enough space here to write everything I would want to tell you about Glennie House in Auchinleck.
It was such a hard process having to put my mum into care but there came a point when it was just not possible for her to remain at home. The manager and all her staff tried so hard to
make this easier for us. Mum sadly passed in June after a 4-day period where she was at end of life. Myself and other family members stayed round the clock until the end. The care and love that we all felt at that point from everyone in Glennie was just unbelievable. Looking after us as well as my mum in such a compassionate way. Sitting beside my mum in the early hours of the morning listening to the staff dealing with residents in such a patient and caring way was so humbling as you never fully appreciate the difficult job these amazing people do. It was then I realised that Glennie House was my mum's home not just a care home and that we had been so lucky for that to be the case.
Reply from Jenny, Home Manager at Glennie House Care Home

Thank you very much for the kind review, it was a pleasure getting to know mum and her extended family. She was "a fine wee lass, a bonnie wee lass" who will always be remembered fondly.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
In our experience staff try to deliver a good quality care service and are approachable. The room standard and overall cleanliness of the home is of a good standard. However, staffing, particularly qualified nursing staffing, appears stretched almost all of the time. We had to raise issues with hand
and oral hygiene on repeated occasions and when our mother was discharged from hospital following a fall in the home, and still incredibly vulnerable, staff were wholly unprepared to care for her level of need. Care plans were not updated. This created serious concern and trust issues for us.
Despite good intentions, unit management is weak in our opinion and detached from the reality of the care on the ground.
All of the points in this review were formally raised with unit management and therefore a matter of record.
Reply from Jenny, Home Manager at Glennie House Care Home

We are sorry that this was your experience. This was investigated at the time, in March 2023, and where necessary, lessons were learned.

I have been very pleased with the quality of personal care and support received by my mother while she was a resident in Glennie House. Too often nursing and care staff lack compassion and empathy, but in GH the staff seemed to really love my mother. They were warm and kind towards her and took a real
interest and concern for her comfort, care and wellbeing. They were professional but displayed a gentleness and love towards her.

My mum has settled into Glennie House. The kind and caring staff have been wonderful. The most amazing thing about this place is the programme of activities and outings that brings such a happy atmosphere to the place. It's great that loved ones can join in too. The quality of life for my mum, provided

The staff are the greatest asset of Glennie House. It is an extremely welcoming place and the staff go about their duties with a smile and often with a song, it obviously gets passed on/down from the management. They provide an excellent and varied range of activities each week. We had Christmas dinner
with Mum which was a lovely caring touch.

Anything my husband needs is attended to straight away, he is completely different from when he was in hospital. He is encouraged to take part in the activities and enjoys his paper in the morning. My husband appreciates what all the staff do for him and his family appreciates it too—our very sincere
thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for Glennie House Care Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.799 for Glennie House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 194 Ratings = 4.799
  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 Glennie House Care Home is based on 16 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
