Review from Douglas M (Son of Resident) published on 13 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Warm welcoming staff who treat residents and family members as if they are one of their own. Facilities are very good and always clean albeit some updating of fixtures and fittings would really make it stand out.


Meals are second to none and I know Dad looks forward to these each day especially as

we look on enviously!


Location of home, and ample parking for visitors is perfect, and makes Dad still feel part of the local community.

On arrival on October 18th 2022, he was given good support by the care staff. He settled fairly well, after two to three weeks I met with the manager to discuss two issues and she listened and suggested an alternative - the matter was done promptly.

My first experience of a nursing home and I was very impressed. My father needed intense care and was so well looked after by all levels of staff. His end of life comfort was wonderfully dealt with. A special mention to all the amazing laundry team who brought a ray of sunshine to every visit they made
to his room. This home does a hard job really well and the staff make the place. A huge thank you to all involved in his care. You were excellent!

When I got in for the first time my dad's shoes were covered in food stains, and his TV was all splattered with juice; this is the first time I have come across an issue. Also, from day one, his toile never flushed right - still doesn't.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Tranent Care Home
We are very sorry about your experience during your first visit, and it's good to have heard that you are now happy. I can also confirm the toilet is now fully functioning.

It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, putting my dad, who has Alzheimer's, in the care of others. However, my experience with the care home has been excellent, and I can't thank them enough for the support they have provided my dad. They have a good understanding of his needs, and he seems
settled now, which makes the whole experience easier for me. I can't thank them all enough.

While visiting the care home during the pandemic, the staff have been very helpful. The centre is clean and organised, and all members of staff I have met are very friendly. They have been very supportive during the death of one of my grandparents while the other still resides at the care home. They
are a very caring well-staffed facility, which makes them go the extra mile.

I have attended the home at various times of the day to visit my friend, the staff regardless of the time are always friendly and welcoming, they can't do enough for you. My friend has come on leaps and bounds in the home, he feels safe and has made friends. I would highly recommend the home.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.400)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.400) out of 10 for Tranent Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.483 for Tranent Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.483
  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 3.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tranent Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.417
  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.
