Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Having gone through a difficult time at the home in relation to the standard of care being offered, and communication between staff being dreadful things have begun to improve. However there is still more to be done. It appears to be going in the right direction.

Review from Maria W (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
As a family, we were not happy with the care our 95-year-old Mum received at this care home. She was very distressed during her short stay there and management were keen to remove her to hospital as they found her too time-consuming for what they wanted. Their communication skills are dire and they
lack compassion.
In our opinion, anyone moving in there who is active is not what they are looking for as they need extra monitoring and they are not able to provide that. We would not recommend them.
Reply from Kirstene Feenan, Marketing at Letham Park Care Home (Garden House)We’re really sorry to hear that this has been your experience. We always take feedback or complaints seriously and include them in learning and development opportunities for the home and across the group. Very best wishes for the future, Renaissance Care

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family and I had a very good experience. They made our mum feel very much at home straight away, although it still took her a while to settle in she is very happy staying there. All the staff are great and very friendly, they cannot do enough for the residents and their families. They have beautiful
surroundings and all the rooms are very clean. My mum has all her own things in her room so she thinks she is in her own home which is great so that makes the family happy.
Reply from Stephen Colquhoun, Home Manager at Letham Park Care Home (Garden House)Thankyou Grace for taking the time to review us here at Letham Park. My Team here at Letham Park take pride in their work and whenever possible try and give 100%. I’m pleased that Mum feels right at home and continues to enjoy life here at Letham Park. Many Thanks Stephen

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent care home. The rooms are like small hotel rooms, well furnished and the handyman will see to anything from fixing something to putting personal photo's or paintings on the walls. Since we have had a new manager I have noticed a lot of improvements to furnishings (e.g roundtables
in the dining room as opposed to square much friendlier for the residents). Also, a tea room has been opened and there is a good range of activities from games to sing-alongs to visiting dogs etc. I cannot speak highly enough of Letham Park and will recommend it to anyone.
Reply from Stephen Colquhoun, Home Manager at Letham Park Care Home (Garden House)Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm happy that you are pleased with the care and support delivered to your relative. We take pride within our home making sure all areas of the home are bright, clean and homely looking, and of course providing a good standard of care. Many Thanks.

Review from Yvonne M (Friend of Resident) published on 18 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend was a very independent lady. After her accident, she was put in this nursing home. At first, she would not settle, the staff persevered with her and would not give up. She has now been here 10 months and she is now part of a big family and has settled in. This is due to the management and
staff and their care. I would describe this home as a family unit. You get to know them all on first name terms.
Reply from Stephen Colquhoun, Home Manager at Letham Park Care Home (Garden House)Thank you for your review, Yvonne, it's nice to hear that your friend has settled into our care home well. Myself and my team are always on hand to offer good standards of care. We pride ourselves in delivering quality care with a holistic approach to suit the residents' needs. We look forward to continuing offering our residents and families a high standard of service. Many Thanks, Stephen.

My friend is in Letham Park. I can honestly say she is treated with dignity and respect. The staff are very helpful and have done their best to support my dear friend. She has come on leaps and bounds since her admission and has settled really well. The garden facility is wonderful. So nice to see her

Excellent and the care provided to my Father has been exceptional. The Manager is running a very lovely facility. Under his guidance the staff are wonderful, always smiling and very obliging. They all take their roles seriously to make the environment very pleasant for their residents. As a relative,
it is so good to know that my/our loved one is in safe hands. The leadership skills are superb. All staff are very happy from the domestics to the management. Out of 100 = 100%

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 3.833 for Letham Park Care Home (Garden House) is calculated as follows: ( (2 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 3.833
  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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Letham Park Care Home (Garden House) is based on 0 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) =
    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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0
  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.
