No issues. My mum settled in really well and seems happy. The staff are very helpful and friendly including the handyman team, I've asked them to do quite a few jobs in my mums room and been really happy with them. The staff are all very approachable and willing to help if I go to them with any questions
regarding my mums care.

Excellent care, staff go beyond for residents. Plenty of activities and outings. Aunt not happy with food, has been given choice of other foods but says she is not asked. Have told her to ask if she's not happy with what is not to her liking on those days. As a family we are very happy with the care
provided

I am more than happy with my dad's care apart from the clothing issue it clearly states in his room that his washing goes home but still over half of my dad's clothes are missing, I spent more money last month on more clothes for him and they have gone walk about too which is very disappointing and
frustrating.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We will look into the feedback regarding clothing and aim to resolve this for you as soon as possible. Very best wishes, Renaissance Care.

Review from Janice A (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has been in Torry Nursing Home for 2 1/2 years. His care is excellent, the staff are quick to notice any change in his health and take immediate action- contact Doctor and me etc.
His daily living needs are met also his mental health and socialising needs.
There are outings, musical afternoons,
bingo and internet activities i.e Mahjong, word search, sudoku etc.
Unfortunately his hearing aids twice went missing but were found before going into the laundry and all staff have been reminded to check for them at bed time.
No issues otherwise.

Review from Bryan L (Son of Resident) published on 4 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have no concerns regarding my father staying within this care home. He himself does not display any behaviours that would make me think he felt unsafe or unhappy therefore the high rating. Meals can sometimes be a bit fancy for Dad but that is only my opinion and may be alright for others. Staff have
taken this onboard and adapt his menus to something of his liking. Activities are abundant with something on every day organised by the activity coordinators who do a brilliant job and aim to involve everyone. Families are kept updated on events and encouraged to participate when they can. Staff and manager are all approachable and willing to listen to any queries or concerns through social media, telephone, email or in person. Regular family meetings held where all are invited, this gives staff the opportunity to advise of developments, activities, upcoming events etc. Regular care reviews carried out on a platform of your choice. Overall I have no negative comments to make.

My mum has been in Torry Nursing Home for about five months now, and I’m very happy with the services provided. My mum is unable to participate in the activities and largely confined to bed, but the staff, from the manager to the cleaners, are all very friendly. The care home is always clean and tidy,
and staff communicate well on any ongoing medical issues.

I visited the care home on Wednesday 29th February and was extremely pleased to see that my relative was up and had his hair cut, was clean and tidy and appeared relaxed and happy.
Staff were attentive to the resident's needs and were visible at all times.

Since there has been a change over of senior staff on my mum’s unit, there has been a huge improvement in the service. Friendly staff who are very helpful and kind. No complaints at all and it is reassuring that my mum is being well looked after.

My dad is a resident of Torry Care Home, and I couldn't wish for him to be in a better place. The staff are very friendly, caring and accommodating to my dad's needs, and always make us feel welcome when we visit by stopping by for a chat with us, offering us tea/coffee, etc. We were able to paint and
decorate Dad's room to make it homely for him, which is a really nice thing to be able to do.
There are always plenty of activities in the lounge to keep the residents entertained, and it's nice to see photos and videos of them enjoying themselves.
I would highly recommend Torry to anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.560)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.560) out of 10 for Torry Nursing 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.758 for Torry Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 161 Ratings = 4.758
  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 4.802 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Torry Nursing 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.802
  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.
