I like the staff.
I feel like I never even think about my last house since I moved here.
I cannot run this place down.

Review from Sandy D (Son of Resident) published on 7 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can only agree with the other review, the Leven Beach Care Home is faultless in comparison to another we used in Leven. The management, staff and events co ordinator are all excellent. We had to move my mother here from another Leven Care Home and the difference is night and day. The professional
approach to care by the Leven Beach team is brilliant.
The dementia unit has beautiful views across the Forth, the rooms are hotel quality (even before the refurb). There is a hairdressing salon in the unit and now the refurb has been done the home is superb, especially the lounges. I love seeing photos of my mum out and about with the Care Staff and taking part in sports/games activities to try and keep mobility going.
Their approach to risks is second to none and I cannot thank them enough for how much they have done for my mother and family in the last three months. Good staff retention too with some team members and management having been there since opening around 20 years ago, that says a lot.

My review is quite straightforward - faultless.
The care my father has received has been quite extraordinary. I cannot fault the management or staff and will be eternally grateful for their dedication and support.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for Leven Beach 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.805 for Leven Beach Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.805
  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 Leven Beach Care Home is based on 13 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
