I am very pleased with the care and consideration given to my sister in her new environment. She has been made to feel welcome and I feel she is now very safe and also very happy. The staff are so good to her.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When visiting my friend, we were greeted with a cheery smile from the staff. We sat in the cafe area and the manager heard us talking about songs as my friend is a lovely singer. The manager then proceeded to ask us what songs we would like played and we sang along. It was a very pleasurable experience.
We were also made coffee and hot chocolate - a treat!

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The staff are caring and work hard. They seem genuine in their affection for my mum. Communication hasn't always been good. My mum's hand hygiene has been raised a few times, particularly her nails and the length of the nails on her contracted hand. A lot better since the hairdresser has been allowed
in. Staff go above and beyond to have a laugh with my mum and stepdad which helps. A difficult time for everyone.

The care my dad receives in Glennie House is exemplary and I can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are a shining example of how care should be delivered. Any request is dealt with immediately and family are kept informed of every aspect of care and any changes that occur. Each interaction with
my dad is underpinned by kindness, care and consideration. Excellent!

Review from Barbara G (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was cared for by some of the most compassionate old caring staff whilst at Glennie House Care Home. During the days leading up to her passing, we could not have asked for more from them. The carers and nurse not only cared for her but showed her love and understanding. To us, as a family,
this made an extremely difficult time so much easier. The staff lining the corridor to say a final farewell is an abiding memory for us. Knowing Mum was loved by so many, even on her crankiest of days, gives us such comfort. Thank you all again so very much.

Dedication and care from top to bottom was exceptional. My sister passed away with care and dignity, and was treated as if she was one of their own family. Every visit I had was a very pleasant experience. The care home was always immaculate with cheerful staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are very friendly, attentive and genuinely caring, taking time with each resident. They listen to my concerns and are very helpful. The staff keep the home spotlessly clean. Activities arranged for residents are stimulating e.g bingo and dominoes and especially outsiders who call (musicians and
singers) encouraging participation by residents and staff and also encouraging participation by residents in activities.

Glennie House Care Home is the best care home I've experienced. Staff are excellent and attentive and, without exception, everyone seems to genuinely care which is extremely comforting to family members. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather my mum spend her time than Glennie House. The home manager
is first class.

Food and drink - dad says food is reasonable as he has no teeth, a selective menu. Would like some fish in sauce (fillets of fish). He has a meeting with the kitchen and management. Activities are good when available and more are on now, outside entertainers are good.

The staff are very efficient and hands-on with the residents. Taking time with each individual resident and showing that they care about their feelings/well-being. We visited on Pancake Day for the residents and staff. It was very well organised and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Well done
everyone involved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has received exemplary care in Glennie House over the last 2 years. He is as happy as he could be and this is undoubtedly due to the superb, caring attitude of the staff. Recent visits have been so well organised and the staff go out of their way to facilitate visiting. I was really fortunate
to take my dad out to the local pub on my last visit! I and the rest of the family are extremely happy with the care my father is given in Glennie House.

I'm always delighted with the care and attention my dad receives. The staff team have stayed very much the same in 2 years so dad knows them and has a good rapport. They always show time and patience. They have adhered strictly to Covid regulations as far as I can see and yet encourage visits with the
guidelines as much as possible.

When my mother was admitted to Glennie House Care Home. She was very frail having two replacement hips and other medical issues. With the dedication and knowledge of all the staff she is getting on as well as we can expect. She is very content and happy (a few small issues) but if mother had not gone
to Glennie Court Care Home things would have been a lot different. Thank you to all dedicated staff.

I cannot say a lot as my husband was admitted in April 2021 and due to covid, I have only visited inside on a few occasions. Saying that the staff have been nice very helpful and very obliging, I have not been seen sitting areas or dining areas so can't comment on these. My husband is content and seems
happy. He has put on some needed weight so must like the food. I am happy with the care he is getting.

I have never found fault in any way, except for meals which I have not sampled but reported to be inedible at times. The care from carers and nursing staff are excellent. In this time of coronavirus, I have no complaints as each and everyone keeps the room clean after each visit. Thank you for keeping
my mum safe.

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.
