  • Tyneholm Stables Care Home, Tranent
Tyneholm Stables is a beautiful home, full of character and warmth. A converted stable block, set in gated courtyards, it has stunning views over the surrounding countryside.

But it’s the team, who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, which make this home special. Providing residential, dementia and nursing care, the home won a Top 20 Care Home Scotland Award by carehome.co.uk for two years running (2022 and 2023). This award is based on the glowing reviews from residents and their families.

There are so many wonderful activities to enjoy, from live music, reminiscence sessions and crafts, to spending time with the home’s trainee therapy dog Gunner, whom the residents adore.

The home also has a Magic Table, a fabulous piece of technology designed for residents living with dementia, where they play interactive light games which encourage gentle movement and healthy competition!

The local community are embraced into life at Tyneholm Stables. Local school children are regular visitors, and the residents enjoy exercise to music classes. They also love visiting Pencaitland Day Centre, where they socialise with people from the local community over lunches, live music, bingo and more.

Mealtimes are a real highlight of the day, with the home’s chef preparing delicious, home-cooked meals, from haggis, neeps and tatties and roast dinners with all the trimmings, to freshly baked treats for afternoon tea. The residents also enjoy cookery sessions, making everything from cakes and biscuits to pizza.

The spacious lounges, which overlook the surrounding countryside, are a wonderful space to relax and watch farm animals, kestrel, and deer. And the courtyard gardens, with wheelchair friendly pathways, are wonderful spaces to enjoy with loved ones, who are welcome at any time.

The home also has a private family and friends Facebook group, filled with videos and photographs.

My mum has been here for nearly 5 years and she is so happy, which makes me happy! She loves everyone here, and they love her. I am always kept informed of any issues which are quickly resolved. She likes to be involved in whats happening, which is nice to see. It really feels like an extended family.

Dad has been at Tyneholm for over two years. All the carers know dad and accommodate his needs which can sometimes be a challenge . The carers are warm and friendly and nothing is a problem for them. One the occasion I have needed to discuss with the management they were approachable and put dads new

Overall care is adequate, personally I feel carers aren't offered fair pay for the work they do. Maybe if they were paid more they would stay. My mum has just become bedridden and unable to feed herself so has become reliant more on the carers, some days I feel there isn't enough staff on to give the
time that she now requires, they are sometimes the only company that she has. She has nothing to enrich her life.

Review from Myra O (Niece of Resident) published on 20 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to my uncle's health deteriorating and dementia getting worse, it was decided after a short stay in hospital that it was best for him to go to a care home. Sadly, due to Covid rules, he had to go to another care home for a short while but he did not settle and I was not happy with the level of care
he received. So when the time came for him to move to Tyneholme Stables Care Home, I was really worried about how it was all going to work out, I need not have stressed myself as the treatment he received here was second to none, within less than 24 hours he was settled and starting to show signs of his old personality coming back. It was brilliant seeing him smile and even singing again and able to capture these moments on video. Sadly, he passed away in October but I cannot thank Tyneholme enough for making his last few months happy. He was well looked after, especially by three members of staff, he loved them right up to the end and they treated him like their own uncle which was a great comfort to the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When myself and my Aunt visited Tyneholm to review the facility to see if it was the right place for my Gran, it was without question that it was. It had a warm home-like feel to it. And after a while of getting to know people, I think that the warm home feeling is all thanks to the amazing staff who
treat the residents like their own family. It brings a sense of relief knowing that my Gran is well cared for and looked after. My Gran has now been there for a few years and she's happy, you can see it in her face. She might not know who I am anymore (dementia) but I know she knows her second family. Thanks for all you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother has resided in Tyneholm Stables for over three years. She has Alzheimer’s disease and can be very loving or very challenging. I have found the staff here to be caring and able to cope with her good times and bad.
The residents, if able, can sit outside in one of the three safe outside spaces
and they have trips out in the minibus and lots of entertainment, plus activities in the home. There is no restriction to visiting or taking your loved ones out for the day or just for a walk (apart from Covid of course). The food always looks good and the rooms are as homely as you can get in a care home setting. The staff worked tirelessly during Covid to keep things as normal as possible and kept me updated all the way. They provided video links etc to keep in touch with loved ones too. Residents can have their hair done or chiropody etc.
I do not believe any care home is 100% perfect but I trust Tyneholm Stables with my Mum and that says it all. I sleep well knowing she is safe.

My mother has been a member of the Tyneholm family for 4 years. The staff are amazing and they treat her like she is their mother, which gives me peace of mind every week when I leave her after my visits. They are loving, caring and empathetic to her needs and my requests, nothing is ever a problem.
Her well-being and dignity are always at the forefront of her care. The Management, activities, domestic, catering and care team in the home are first class.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Tyneholm Stables for over 2 years. It was a terribly emotional time for us all, as we were in effect, taking her away from my father, her husband of 55 years. It was so, so difficult for everyone concerned but sadly we had no choice. My mother's dementia was worsening,
and my 90-year-old father had the onset of Alzheimer's. He was really struggling. Wow, what can I say? The staff at Tyneholm really did help with this transition. Pre pandemic, my dad was able to go for lunch and we used to take my mum out for walks around the beautiful grounds. He even spent Christmas day with her. The staff are absolutely amazing. We cannot thank them enough. They are so lovely and gentle. They really do give the residents the very best care. They are great with my mum, and they really make my dad feel welcome when we visit. I feel that they really know my mum inside and out. As a result, my mum really loves it. She feels safe and very well cared for.

I can only commend the staff at Tyneholm. They were excellent and crucially, kind, and looked after my mother very well. They were extremely communicative which was so important with covid restrictions. The location is rural which was a deciding factor for us in selection - my mum loved animals. I highly
recommend the home and urge you to check it out for your loved ones when the time comes.

My mum has now been a resident at Tyneholm stables for over a year now and all I can say is thank you to all the staff for the care, compassion and love that they show Mum every day. It was such a hard time, as a family, having to make the decision where Mum was going to stay after her time in hospital
but with the help and kindness shown to us, we decided that Tyneholm would hopefully be the right place. Mum has had her ups and downs, especially when she first arrived but with time and the care and kindness from all the staff, she is now doing good. There is always great communication with updates on how Mum is doing.

My father has been in the care home for six months now and thanks to the level of care he has received, he has settled in well. The staff are really attentive and very prompt to act on any health issues. The whole atmosphere in the care home is friendly, cheery and homely and so it is comforting to

My father spent a relatively short time under the care of the team at Tyneholm Stables - four months, however, there is only one word to describe the care he received, exceptional! The team there looked after my father with care, compassion and love from the minute he arrived until he passed away. Everyone
was so kind and I know my father appreciated the care and attention he received. Nothing was too much trouble and I will be eternally grateful to all of the team there for making my father's final few months happy, comfortable and dignified.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.958) out of 10 for Tyneholm Stables Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.375 for Tyneholm Stables Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.375
  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 3.583 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tyneholm Stables Care Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.333
  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.
