My experience of the management and staff at Deeside Care Home is that they are approachable and caring. Occasionally one feels that the staff are all at full stretch but I do understand the problems in this regard. I am sometimes a little concerned at the length of time residents are in the dining
room over meal times as those who are finished early get a bit impatient and wish to move! All in all, I feel that a lot of effort is put into the caring process. Regarding food, I think this keeps to a good standard with the occasional blip when the food served does not quite match the menu.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Deeside Care Home has so far been outstanding. My mum has been there for 5 months and myself and my family are extremely happy with the care she receives.


Our objectives when looking for a care home for mum were;
Safe, engaging, dementia-friendly environment.


Deeside delivers all of these things.

Mum is never alone when I go in to see her. There are always staff close by and plenty of activities for her to take part in. She gets the right amount of support and the staff are always happy and pleasant. Staff are also very good at communicating with me about her care so I am always kept in the loop.


It is one of the more expensive care homes in Aberdeen, but having seen many others, I am happy to pay a little extra to ensure Mum gets the care she deserves.


Personally, Deeside has made the extremely difficult and heartbreaking decision of moving Mum into nursing care, much more bearable. They have been helpful and professional throughout.

My mum arrived at the care home in March. She was quite confused on arrival from hospital as she was recovering from a broken hip, she was also diagnosed with dementia and delirium. She has improved greatly at the care home and considers it as "home". She is happy and very well cared for by everyone.
I am pleased with all aspects of the care home and would recommend it to any of my family and friends.

The care and attention from most of the staff are excellent. I admire the work they do without a lot of praise. Always smiling and willing to help residents. They try to provide lots activities to appeal to residents, hairdressing and nail services which are very important to ladies. Visitors and relatives
are welcome and catered for very well. I would highly recommend Deeside Care home.

My 92-year-old mother has been a resident at Deeside Care home for over a year. This is an outstanding home where the dignity and needs of residents are a clear priority and the management and staff are first class. Stimulation and interests are maintained at all times. Relatives are always welcome
and feedback is encouraged. I don't hesitate in recommending Deeside care home to others.

If I lived in Aberdeen I would definitely want to stay there when the time came. I have no hesitation in recommending

My aunt settled in well after her transfer from another home. Not the easiest of characters but the staff handle her extremely well. The manager runs a tight ship but is friendly and helpful - a great asset to the home. There is plenty of opportunities for outings and other activities, although perhaps
a little more training for the activities coordinator would not go amiss, although I am aware of the difficulty of retaining/recruiting staff in this area. Overall an excellent home.

Reply from Kristin Jackson-Brown, Director of Care at Deeside Care Home

Hello and thank you very much for your positive feedback. We have a new Activities Coordinator who has joined the team and brings with her some really great experience including a qualification in art drama, acting and performance. She is very enthusiastic and creative, we are confident she will continue to develop and implement a varied and comprehensive activity program as she settles with us. We welcome feedback and input from our residents and their families at any time, so if there's something you feel your aunt would particularly enjoy please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plan.
With best wishes, Kristin Jackson-Brown, Director of Care.

My brother-in-law has been in the Deeside home for some 4 years and the standard of care from manager to carer to catering/cleaning staff is excellent. They can not do enough for you with cups of tea etc. The standard of catering os of hotel standard. I only hope if something happens to me, there is
a place like this for me.

My relative is very settled in a nice, calm, clean and well-equipped environment. The bedroom she is now occupying is much better since it has its own shower room. Staff are extremely pleasant and caring individuals who look after my relative in a professional manner. My relative is settled and very
well cared for - she seems happy.

My father (94) has lived in Deeside Care Home for 3 and a half years. He has dementia and is becoming frail. The environment is calm, organised and happy. The staff are all very caring and provide excellent care. The décor is very pleasing. I have peace of mind because I know he is clean, well cared

When walking through the reception from the security door, you are greeted with a warm welcome. There is an area for singing in and out which is good as they are keeping track on who is coming in and out. The care my dad received is excellent, the staff are so caring and patient with him. My dad is
so much happier now that he is provided with proper care. The accommodation is excellent and the food is really good too, as I have tried the food myself.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Deeside Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.876 for Deeside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.876

  • b) 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 Deeside Care Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
