My gran loves living here. The staff are lovely and so is the housing. Initially, she didn't want to live in care but now she wishes she could have lived here years before.


This is the nicest care home I have ever seen and she is so comfortable here. Thank you Annfield House Care Home.

My mother has been a resident for three months and before that, she spent 5 months
in re-hab before that at home so I do not have a lot to compare with. Annfield House Care Home has a good reputation I discovered when researching care and I have found it lives up to this. There always looks to be staff
available and I have always found them friendly and helpful.
The rooms are clean and bright and mum says the food is good. At Christmas, I ate with mum and it was very good.

My mum moved to this home after living with me for 13 and a half years. I was devastated by this but was not coping due to her dementia.
I can honestly say this was the best move ever after looking at approximately 13 homes we found Annfield.
The staff from domestics to the manager are friendly, approachable
and have the best interests of the residents.
The home is warm, welcoming and spotless.
The staff are the best, they go the extra mile.
I can only praise them and thank them for their continued support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I could no longer care for my husband at home, he was assessed as requiring nursing care. I visited a number of care homes and was particularly impressed with Annfield and very pleased that a place became available. My husband became a resident on 28/7/17.


The manager, nursing staff, care staff,

cleaning and catering staff all treat my husband with dignity and respect. Staff take a keen interest in every aspect of his welfare and encourage activities which he can enjoy. Staff are always willing to take the time to speak to me and other family and friends. There is a very caring culture and the staff all seem to enjoy their work.

My mother was, unfortunately, only in Annfield House for a few weeks prior to her passing. In those short few weeks, however, the care she received was exemplary. This standard of care continued right through her passing. The managaress lent both my mother and I the most wonderful compassion and care.
I cannot speak highly enough of her. Those last few weeks were extremely difficult made much less so by the staff.

Both parents resided in Annfield (dad still does). The care given is of the highest standard and the cleanliness is superb as is the food. Activities are varied and there is a lovely garden area. Relatives are made very welcome. Staff treat resident with dignity. They work very hard in difficult situations.

The care at Annfield House is excellent. The staff are all very pleasant and very kind and thoughtful to residents. The home is spotlessly clean and always smells very fresh. The menus are excellent and my mother constantly praises the food. The table linen, cutlery and crockery are of a high standard
with fresh flowers on the table which is of great importance to my mother. The laundry of residents clothes is done to a high standard which is also important.

My daughter and I visited several care homes in the district before we made our decision. We chose Annfield House Care Home as we were impressed with the friendly staff and the homely clean surroundings. It proved to be the perfect choice as my husband is well looked after by well-trained and friendly
staff. The varied menu each day means he has put on weight and he is eating much better. He was poorly when he arrived; we do not worry about him now.

Review from Alison G (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 23 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law came to Annfield in November 2015, when her physical frailty made it impossible for her to be safe at home. I researched all 8 homes able to cater for her needs in a 10-mile radius of Stirling. I reviewed numerous care inspectorate reports; checked financial stability; telephoned every
manager; visited every home.
Annfield stood out. From the first phone call, the manager and her staff stood head and shoulders above all others. The manager made suggestions in that first call which helped me better understand the processes around social care, enabling me to take better-informed decisions. I have come to appreciate that this level of care, warmth and integrity is central to the ethos at Annfield. Without exception, I have found it in each staff member. We live 400 miles away, so this level of trust really matters. Annfield is very clean, great food, with plenty of activities, and a real sense of community. My mother-in-law has felt truly loved and cared for.

I lost my wonderful Mother to the cruelties of dementia recently but she fought an extremely brave battle at Annfield House Care Home thanks to the amazing support, kindness and dignity shown from all the staff and management. My Mum was understood and loved and the staff showed incredible professionalism
and knowledge of her illness and could put solutions into place exactly when they were needed. I am grateful to Annfield and for all the support my family and I have received throughout this awful time. I have certainly met some wonderful people here and made some very good friends.

Review from Elaine S (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mothers stay at Annfield House was short, August to November 2016. During this time she settled in well, enjoying the company, food and entertainment.
My mother died in November 2016 and in the 3 weeks leading up to her death, the nurses and carers could not have done enough for her.
As a team
they showed true dedication, tenderness and warmth which was of great comfort to my sister and I. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
Our only criticism would be that the manager never acknowledged our presence or my mother's death.
Overall, my sister and can only describe the care my mother received as excellent.
Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Annfield House Care Home

Thank you very much for your comments regarding your mother’s recent stay in Annfield House.
I was pleased to hear that the level of support that your mother received was excellent and I will pass this on to all of my staff.
Please accept my apologies that during the time that your mother was here, we did not get the opportunity to meet.
I operate an open door policy and have monthly relatives meetings. I welcome any feedback from Residents and their relatives to improve the quality of the service.

My mother suffered from Dementia and she was cared for very well. All the staff had a clear way of dealing with these type of people.
I can only say that my mother was so well looked after and everyone enjoyed her company. She would have some moments where she would be verbally and physically abusive
but the staff were very capable of dealing with this. I cannot thank them all enough. I could never have dealt with her at home. With all this wonderful care she lived to 93.

I have been visiting my friend since she moved into Annfield House Care Home just over a year ago and throughout that time, I have found the staff friendly and always willing to help. The premises are clean and well cared for and most importantly the residents are happy, clean and well looked after
and have a good relationship with the staff. The recent addition of a monthly 'What's Happening' booklet all about the goings on, staff info, etc. etc. is most welcome. Congratulations to all.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Annfield House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.841 for Annfield House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.841
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Annfield House Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9
  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.
