Review from Melanie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was my mothers 80th birthday + the activities coordinator in the home + all staff were just amazing in how they organised everything, from balloons to other beautiful decorations, caterers + the space to welcome all our family and friends for this important celebration. It made the event so special,
every detail was taken care of + it all went seamlessly + smoothly. All the guests commented on the food, the lovely space + how special it was.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall, exceptionally happy and satisfied with initial move in of Dad and the support provided by Suzi and nurses. Would be nice to have a notice board showing all staff/photo/position, etc. Together with who's on duty. This would help residents and visitors to build stronger relationships and get
to know the team. All in all, great place with a great team.

Review from Margaret S (Wife of Resident) published on 15 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has only been resident for 10 days so this is not a long-term considered view. 1st impressions. Staff very understanding, requests etc dealt with reasonably promptly. As a relative, I felt welcome and questions were answered. Nursing care excellent and a welcoming, almost happy atmosphere.
One concern I have is that residents with a degree of intellectual capacity could be given more stimulation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Peebles Nursing Home, the excellent manager and all of the fantastic staff there, have looked after my mother for several years. She suffers from Huntington's so has needed some quite specialised care which the team have made every effort to provide. They are always helpful and welcoming and I would
highly recommend them.

Review from I A (Wife of Resident) published on 4 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home has been very kind and patient with my husband while looking after him before a care package allows him to come home. The food has been good and he has enjoyed it all. They have been chatty when he needs it. The only niggle is that he is often in his wheelchair all day and although I have
requested that he is transferred to a comfortable chair for some of the day this does not always happy, otherwise all excellent.
Reply from Tracey Hair, Home Manager at Peebles Nursing HomeThank you very much for the kind review. We are pleased we have been able to provide a good, positive experience.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.370)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.370) out of 10 for Peebles Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 4.636 for Peebles Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 33 Ratings = 4.636
  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 3.734 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Peebles Nursing Home is based on 3 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.2 = 0.484
  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.
