Overall Experience
My sister has settled in well ar Stoneyford. She likes her room and did not want to change pictures for ones at home, she liked the Stoneyford pictures. She likes the outlook from her bedroom and the lounge. All staff are caring and friendly.
The manager is very approachable.

Review from Anthony T (Son of Resident) published on 22 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
After my father was moved hastily from his previous care home, which abruptly closed down, it was a worrying time for us but after my first visit to Stoneyford, my worries quickly evaporated. My first impression was a very good one and has improved with each visit. I feel that my father is in very good hands at Stoneyford and in hindsight, the closure of his previous care home is a blessing in disguise. The staff are lovely and caring people too.

Overall Experience
I find that the staff and manager are very friendly to the residents and to the visitors. A good home is more than just bricks and mortar.
It's a place where you can feel safe, relaxed and well cared for. Round the clock assistance providing peace of mind for their loved one's care plans for each resident's special needs all catered for.

Review from G P (Niece of Resident) published on 23 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The home is now much improved with the appointment of the new manager and it seems that the staff are much more settled after recent upheavals. Vast improvements in putting residents at the heart of how the home is run. I am impressed with the changes to how meals are presented to my relative and am pleased to note that there have been more outings/activities. As a family, we were considering moving our relative to another home but recent changes have encouraged us to stay.

Review from George S (Husband of Resident) published on 24 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
When arriving at the nursing home to visit my wife I always get a warm welcome from the staff and an update on how my wife is and how she has been since my last visit. There is always staff around when I visit. Being it is summer and the windows are open the home smells nice and fresh. The home is now offering a relatives day when I can have lunch with my wife. I took up this offer yesterday and I had a very good lunch and pudding with my wife, I think this is a good idea as I am at home this helped her through the meal time. The garden is nice and tidy and nice to sit out in.

I find the staff very cooperative to myself when I visit. I am pleased with the general atmosphere of the home and my mum seems to respond positively to the carers as far as I can tell. I have no issues at this time.

Overall Experience
All the staff are working very hard to meet the needs of my mother.
The experience I have had is there is not enough time for the staff to engage with my mother for any activities she may be able to enjoy with her very limited eyesight.
↩Reply from Claire Hurworth, Careline Manager at Stoneyford Care Home

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
