My time here has been very positive. The staff are friendly and supportive. There are activities if you want to join in. The home is warm, comfortable and cleaned regularly. There are locks on all the rooms and on the outside doors.

I visited my brother at Blair House Care Home for the first time on Thursday, 18 August. The staff were warm, helpful, friendly, welcoming, caring, and numerous. My overall impression is that the staff all care sincerely for the residents. They were pleased to help me in any way and encouraged me to
visit as regularly as possible. I was so happy to see that my brother had settled into his new home so well. He likes his room and enjoys the food too. He seems so content and at home at Blair House and I feel so happy and satisfied that he will be well looked after there.

My brother was a resident here for decades before it got taken over by Venturi. Sadly he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer last September. The staff at Blair House Care Home were amazing as they went above and beyond to ensure he got to stay in his home and didn’t have the anxiety of going into
a hospice. They cared for him right till the end with the help of district nurses and I saw how much they genuinely loved my brother in their care for him. They were also a great comfort and support to me, throughout this tragic time. The staff support residents to be as independent as possible with the right level of support for each resident. I got to know quite a few of the residents, who would tell me of all the trips they went on and parties that Blair House Care Home would lay on. I’ve also gotten to know quite a few of the staff and all of them are so caring and suited to their jobs. They have genuine bonds with the residents and because of that it feels like one big family.

Many thanks for your lovely review. I am glad to hear your Brother received a high standard of care during his time with us. I will ensure this is passed on to the team at Blair House. Thanks again for your lovely comments.

My son went into Blair House in February 2017/2018 and I have visited him every week until the Covid and being a regular visitor I have found the staff extremely helpful and nothing is any trouble to them if I ring them for any reason they are very helpful and if it is to contact my son as I perhaps
couldn’t get him they will go and get him for me.
My son seems to like all the staff I never hear him complaining about anyone he is fairly quiet and keeps to himself but they too say he is very polite
Upon my visits before the Covid, I would go inside and sometimes would have my lunch there and upon observing the other residents I can see they seem happy and I chat to them on occasions.
Generally speaking due to my son having type 1 diabetes they monitor him very very well.


Thank you

My personal experience is that Blair House staff are the best. I have had experience in the care homes in Lancashire back to 2001. Not to be recommended to anyone due to ill-treatment. This is a new life for me.

It's very nice, very cosy and sociable. The food is great, I would like more choice and onion pie. I've told the chef and she will put more on the menu.
The building is nice. Plenty of room the staff are friendly, great, outstanding. They are best in the country.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.161)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.161) out of 10 for Blair House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.792 for Blair House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (19 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.792

  • 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 3.369 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blair House Care Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.244

  • 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.
