Review from Isabella (Resident) published on 18 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely satisfied by the way I am looked after by the day shift and night shift staff who are all very polite, cheerful, caring and very helpful in all aspects of my care.
The food is very varied and tasty served at the tables which are well set up for a great dining experience. I am always
served hot drinks in nice teapots and cups and of course nice biscuits or a cake.
Breakfast is a delight and I can order my preference for a hot breakfast or lovely choice of fruit and cereal.
Events and games are on daily, even a bus trip once a week.
The management, nurses and staff are very approachable and helpful.
All aspects of my care is very good with comfortable rooms, a lovely bath or shower available, very well kept gardens to see and sit out.

Review from Linda K (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our mother has been in this care home for over three years now. From day one we have always felt welcomed. We have felt a little uneasy due to a number of new staff but given a little time more we will be extremely happy again. The care home has 2 very good carers on long-term sickness but the carers
that are there are doing a very good job due to great teamwork. We speak for the day staff, not the night staff.
Reply from Mike Culley, Home Manager at Maryfield West Nursing Home

Thank you for your positive comments about our home and in particular our lovely team, we are delighted to hear that you feel welcomed. With regards to new team members, we have recently had a team member retire after many years of continuous service and have focused on finding the right person who we know will be fantastic in our home. It’s testament to the team at Maryfield West that our people stay for so long and part of what makes the home feel homely and welcoming. The new additions to our team are completing their inductions so we can ensure they deliver our high standard of care.


At Maryfield West we are a small and charming care home nestled in the prestigious west end of Aberdeen. The building was originally built over a 100 years ago and is constructed of granite with an additional more modern extension. The building is full of the original features including a lovely stained glass entrance and other features including high ceilings and intricate cornicing all giving a very light and spacious feel. We have a lovely open plan lounge and dining area which we use for communal gatherings as well as activities and for residents spending time having a blether.

Review from Steve F (Son of Resident) published on 23 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had to move my Dad to Maryfield West Nursing Home when his Parkison's disease made it impossible for him to remain at home. It was a stressful time and it was very difficult to place sufficient trust in someone else to care for a vulnerable parent. However, from his first day, my Dad settled in very
well and he could not have been looked after better. His room was comfortable, homely and all of the Maryfield staff treated him with compassion and respect, ensuring he had everything he needed. He very much enjoyed the food and also the frequent, friendly chats and jokes with the staff. He was always treated with the greatest of care and above all as an individual, never as just another elderly resident. Thanks to everyone at Maryfield West for everything that they did to care for my Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Maryfield West for some years now. She has been entirely satisfied with her stay throughout this time. I have found that the staff maintain a friendly relationship with the service users and are aware of the personal likes of each resident. They spend time to get to know the families
or carers and residents' needs are dealt with immediately and accurately. Management are available and approachable and aware of all the details of the day to day working, as well as more personal requirements of residents. The staff are hard working and attend to the needs of residents quickly and in a caring manner. Laundry, hairdressing etc are all available and performed very well.

Review from Patricia W (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mother has been in Maryfield West for almost two years and she has settled very well.
The staff are very helpful and most of them are jolly and make the residents laugh.
The home is clean and in my opinion well run, the laundry is always done regularly and delivered back to the rooms.
The food,
on the whole, is good, but it must be difficult to cater for everybody's needs.
I always feel welcome when I visit my Mum and any questions I ask are answered to my satisfaction.
We have our good days and bad but overall I think of Maryfield West as my Mum's home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Maryfield West Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.870 for Maryfield West Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.87
  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 Maryfield West Nursing Home is based on 26 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 26 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.
