I have been visiting a minimum of three days a week for almost three years. There is an overwhelming feeling of genuine love and care from all staff. My sister is well cared for. I too am welcomed when I visit. The manager is very enthusiastic and very keen to really make it a home from home and she
does that very well. I have no complaints whatsoever only heartfelt appreciation for the loving care shown to my sister and all the residents.

Staff/management polite and informative. My wife always appears clean & tidy and her living area much the same. There are plenty of activities if she wants, unfortunately my wife has had a few falls while walking corridors and was quickly attended by doctor & paramedics at the time. Additional safety
pressure mats were placed in room to alert when she was out of bed to be monitored.

From the first time we stepped inside the building, we were made very welcome by the manager and staff. This has continued for the last 5 weeks, and my wife has improved her communication & movement. It feels like one big family with residents helping & looking after each other. As well as the relatives.
I don't know how the staff do it. Keep so cheerful. The staff must be very carefully chosen. Not everyone can work in a care home. My family are so happy that my wife is in here & any problems are dealt with quickly.

My mother has settled in quicker than we ever thought she would. We can see she is happy and she has improved both in terms of her physical well being and her dementia.

Extremely well run home providing excellent care. Good variety of activities that bring out the spark in residents, even those with advanced dementia. Superb nurses with a proactive but caring approach. Facilities are well maintained and the newly painted walls (colours chosen by residents) make the
home look bright and fresh. Manager goes above and beyond to ensure good care. Any issues are addressed well and promptly. I highly recommend Craighead.

Well what can I say? My mother was in Craighead Care Home from summer 2018 - December 2021. It was bad to adequate. What a turn around the manager has done. The decor is bright and welcoming. All staff are kind, caring, respectful and helpful They are wonderful. Activities are brilliant. Receptionist
on in the hallway is lovely. Once, the worst care home in the local area (for a long time), now its the best, with a waiting list. Well done to the manager and the staff. If only you could have been there in 2018.

Our concerns and fears of how my mother in law would settle in were quickly alleviated by the skill and professionalism of the management and staff. We are kept informed of any issues of health that arise and are made most welcome when visiting. There is a great view over the Tay which is therapeutic
and car parking is never a problem. My mother in law is getting the skillset that we lacked and that has given us peace of mind.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.834) out of 10 for Craighead 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.834 for Craighead Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (327 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 385 Ratings = 4.834
  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 Craighead Care Home is based on 33 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 33 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.
