  • Pitlochry Care Home, Pitlochry
Pitlochry Care Home is a tasteful, modern development, with a team of qualified and professional carers who are committed to providing care of the highest standard. The home is well-resourced and equipped to support that objective.

Pitlochry Home has a unique interior design that is often compared to that of a modern hotel, being bright and attractive, as well as spacious - and therefore ideal for the provision of efficient and sensitive care.

Resident health, hygiene and nutrition are the main focus for staff, together with the desire to provide a safe, supportive and secure environment, where relatives feel confident in the care being provided for their loved ones.

Pitlochry is an established and popular regional tourist destination. The town of Pitlochry is just a few minutes walk from the home and provides many opportunities to take able residents out to enjoy the surrounding area. Professionals warmly welcome you to visit any BCG Care home. Please contact the care home manager to arrange your visit.

My mum has been a resident for nearly two years and at all times, I have been highly satisfied with the standard of care. It is so good to know she is being very well looked after in her old age.

My wife spent the last three weeks of her life in Balhousie Care Home at Pitlochry. Her kidneys has gone completely, and we knew should couldn't survive. However the staff treated her with great care and kindness, nothing being too much trouble. We couldn't have asked for better care anywhere.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.723)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.723) out of 10 for Pitlochry Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.723 for Pitlochry Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 206 Ratings = 4.723

  • b) 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 Pitlochry Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
