My mum has been a resident of Bannatyne Lodge Care Home since August 2022. I am happy with her care and she has settled in well and seems happy. She likes the staff and they have time to chat with her. I believe that the staff are committed to providing the best care for the residents- within the limits
of national funding. Our family go in every day and are treated well by the staff.

Aunt is on the nursing floor and is very well cared for. They are trying their best to help her through, it is not always easy. All the staff are friendly from management down to cleaning staff. She is always clean and well cared for. She is not well enough to leave her bed but previously the staff
would encourage her to join in activities.

Review from Katharine H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
At the end of January, my mother-in-law was admitted from hospital for total nursing care. The welcome and care she received from all the staff was excellent. However her health was very poor, and as she was of sound mind and able to make her own decisions she made it clear she did not want to return
to hospital. The decision was made for end of life care to commence and the staff allowed very close family to be with her until she died. This gave the family great comfort. I would highly recommend this nursing home for compassion and consideration. The physical nursing care was excellent. The family are delighted that we chose this nursing home.

Review from Elizabeth M (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our dad went to Bannatyne from hospital. The staff we immediately met were warm and friendly. Due to restrictions, we weren’t allowed in or to visit in the first week which was hard for him and for us. Staff kept calling in to chat with dad which helped him settle. Our interaction with the home has
been excellent and nothing at all has been any trouble to anyone without exception. They really care and treat dad with the utmost respect, kindness and warmth. The staff speak to him as a person. Dad is joining in the activities much to our surprise but delight. The garden area is lovely and will be wonderful to be in when the summer comes. We have visited dad at various times and there is always a lovely atmosphere. All the residents seem happy and there is a lovely buzz when you walk in. Dad is now a permanent resident and we as a family are very happy that dad is able to stay as he is happy and content and that is all you can want. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was brought into Bannatyne Lodge with aggressive, both verbal and physical Alzheimers. She had stopped eating, refused medication and become incontinent and lost her independence. Staff endured, treating her with empathy and dignity at all times. They encouraged her and slowly, she
gained their trust. Today she eats well, takes her meds and asks for the toilet. Staff encourage her to mobilise, if only for a short distance. She loves all the staff, laughs a lots and is happy and content. As a family, thank you seems too small a word to show our appreciation.

Since my wife was brought into Bannatyne Lodge for residential care for her dementia, she and myself have been treated with nothing but kindness and respect and any help needed has been quickly forthcoming. A great team of care workers who never fail to help when it is needed.

Bannatyne Lodge is nothing like a care home. It is just like going home. The management and staff are fantastic. They will bend over backwards to help you. Everyone is sociable. The rooms are great, they always have coffee mornings on. We had a Christmas day lunch and all my family turned up. We had
a three-course meal with crackers to pull. It was fantastic and the food is excellent. Very good all round. Recommend it to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Bannatyne Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.748 for Bannatyne Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.748
  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 Bannatyne Lodge 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:

    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 17 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.
