The family found Howgate a very well run care home. The staff are very helpful in every way, especially in the last few days of my mothers life. A very well managed care home and thanks to the manager and all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Throughout mam's stay she has been cared for by people who do care! She has had consideration, professionalism and love - yes love - in abundance.
The whole team is managed superbly with staff contributing beyond what could be expected. The whole ethos is supportive, friendly and dignified. Carers
who secure a place here have no need to worry - they're very very lucky!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff always pleasant easy to talk to. Care of my mum always appears good, she seems relaxed and happy. Staff very good at contacting me if mum unwell and nurses always chat and give an update when they know we are visiting. Just one issue, wheelchairs are frequently parked in my mums room as if being
used as an equipment store. This has been raised so hopefully will not be an issue now. Very happy overall with mum being here, we looked at numerous others but happy we picked and got a place here.

Review from Jackie G (Sister of Resident) published on 22 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother now considers this to be his home. He is very happy with the care he receives, the food, the staff and the general care provided. I find the staff very helpful, friendly and keen to provide whatever is needed for their residents. Although my brother has never complained I do wonder if the
beds are comfortable, the mattresses seem rather thin.

Review from Rita S (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 22 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are always looking after everyone's needs, dignity, care and polite even if a patient/resident gives them abuse. The nurse and seniors are second to none. Everything however small you ask of them to look into is immediately noted and acted upon immediately. Food is very carried and there is
something for everyone. Over all very happy so far as we have only been here a short time.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted to Howgate House on 7/5/15 having lost the use of her legs following breaking her hip in a fall. She needs lifting by two people which i cannot do alone. When I can take her out in a wheelchair she is reasonably happy but is unable to accept that she can walk or stand. She will
never be content unless I could take her home which is impossible. The staff of the home do a good job looking after her and me.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.446)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.446) out of 10 for Howgate House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.494 for Howgate House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 172 Ratings = 4.494
  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 4.952 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Howgate House Care Home is based on 12 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.952
  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.
