Review from Lee C (Son of Resident) published on 11 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father is well looked after, any issues or concerns I may have are dealt with quickly and professionally. My father has been at the home a number of years now and is settled well into the home. Carers and nurses make me feel at ease and our well being is always put first.

Review from Derek C (Son of Resident) published on 11 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Livingston Care Home since May 2020.
Her admission coincided with the 1st lockdown. As such, I had to rely on the management and staff to help her settle in, provide her care, as well as entertainment and social interaction.
Whilst Mum's health condition has proved
to be extremely challenging, I have been very impressed with the commitment and dedication the staff have given to her care.
Mum has been treated with respect at all times, care plans have been devised in conjunction with external health professionals and adhered to accordingly. The chef has gone out of his way to devise meal plans that fit Mum's particular dietary needs.


Communication is so important, especially during the lockdown period when visiting wasn't possible. Staff have gone out of their way to contact me with regular updates on Mum's health and wellbeing.


They have shown empathy and understanding towards both my Mum and myself during very difficult circumstances.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.666)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.666) out of 10 for Livingston Care 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.866 for Livingston Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.866
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Livingston Care Home is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
