Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad's room is always kept clean and the staff are always friendly and keen to help. We would obviously have been happier if he had been able to stay in his home, but he definitely needed the extra help and has settled in well. I feel Glennie House has been a good choice and caters for Dad's needs well.

Unfortunately, after suffering a stroke I was unable to return home. After consultation with my family and care team the decision was, I required 24hr care. Glennis House was our first choice due to the home being in my home town, easier for family and friends to keep in touch. The arrangements were
made quickly and efficiently and while it is not ideal (as I would rather have returned home) I am settled and content within the home.

No complaints. Mum is well looked after by friendly and attentive staff. Facilities are well presented and rooms are clean and maintained. Mum is involved in activities as she wants to be and additional services like hairdressers are easily arranged.

Since gran has moved into the home she has been much more settled and content. She enjoys days out and joins in with all of the activities that happen in the home.
She loves the meals and always seems to have a cake or two during the day. All in all very happy with Glennie House and the care staff
are so kind and gentle with gran.

Great service from all staff from handyman to office staff and all others. The rooms are kept clean and tidy the windows have a bird feeder and keep full which keeps Mum and Dad occupied looking at the small birds. Now they have a nice tea area at the entrance which is good to take residents for tea
and a chat

Dad was in Glennie House Care Home for 16 days respite. During this time he was well fed and well looked after, Staff were all really pleasant and friendly - they all stopped to have a chat with him and all of his needs were extremely well met.


I would have no hesitation in recommending Glennie

House Care Home and if the time comes for full-time care, I would definitely have no hesitation in putting dad in as a resident. He said, "it was the best holiday he had in years!" :)

I find the staff very helpful and nothing is too much trouble to them.
Any questions asked have been answered truthfully. My dad seems to have settled well and accepted that this is home now. Anytime we ask about the home he has nothing but praise for it. At the moment everything is going well and
the family are quite happy.

I find Glennie House Care Home up to a very high standard. The staff are very professional and caring, nothing is too much bother.
Although a care home is the last place you want your loved ones to go. I am glad my mother-in-law has been placed in a safe environment and all the family have peace of
mind.
I cannot speak highly enough of the friendly staff within Glennie House doing a sterling job in sometimes challenging circumstances.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In the darkest days leading up to my mother's illness and her mobility to live in her own home after 59 years, she required 24 hr care although we the family had all tried to support her for 2 years before. We all had to sit down and review what was best socially, personally and health wise so my mother
could live safely and happily with the best support. This is far from an easy decision. The hardest I have ever made. Going to pick a nursing home my daughter and her granddaughter stated we're going to pick a place and a room for my gran, this is the place and room my gran will die in. Glennie House was easy to choose. We walked in the staff were great the place felt she would be safe. My mother in the last year has had a great life.

Had a lovely day with Grandmother on mothers day. A great spread was put on by the care home team and it was delicious. All residents were well looked after on the day too, all their preferences were catered for. Very impressed.

Glennie House Care Home has an overall pleasant and welcoming feel to it. The staff are always pleasant and very helpful at all times. My relative is very settled and happy since her entry two years ago. Nice to see some upgrades being done since the new manager took over and what is hoped to improve
meals etc, for residents in the future. Activities are always being changed around and added to accommodate everybody and interaction with family members is always welcome.

Our mother has been in Glennie House for about two years now and has settled in really well. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and needs 24-hour care. She can walk around inside the home, or, sit in her room as she wants. They also have a garden area where she can go if she wants and the home
and gardens are secure ensuring our mother's safety at all times.
The staff have got to know our mother well and are very good at recognising any signs of infections or illness and are quick to react with suitable medications, they are good at working with her as well. My sister and myself are invited to review meetings to discuss our mother’s care package and our thoughts are taken into account when any changes have to be made.
The home puts on different activities on a monthly basis either within the home or to places of interest outside the home. They have visits from local schools, minister and entertainers. She gets regular meals either in her room or the dining area as she wants.

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.
