  • Lorimer House, Edinburgh
Lorimer House nursing home in Juniper Green is surrounded by two acres of beautiful gardens and mature woodland with views of the Pentland Hills in Edinburgh.

The Edinburgh care home is registered to cater for 37 residents but its luxurious, spacious single rooms with en-suite shower wet room facilities can also accommodate residents with a preference for a shared room, for example, married couples or close companions.

Lorimer House also has many common areas such as a library and variety of elegant lounges where residents can enjoy company, a daily activity or merely relax. Its ground floor ‘quiet lounge’ overlooks the beautiful sun patio, lush, mature gardens and onto the hills beyond.

It was originally built as a family house in 1905 by renowned Scottish architect Sir Robert Lorimer.

The Edinburgh care home is part of the award-winning, family-run Lindemann Care Home Group and all staff are highly trained and motivated to provide a first-class individual care service for all residents and their families.

Review from J W (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my mother receives at Lorimer House is excellent. All of the staff; nursing care and ancillary treat residents with respect, dignity and great kindness. The atmosphere in the home is very positive and the staff exude love and warmth. The recent family Barbeque day was a wonderful occasion enormously
enjoyed by residents and their families. The staff really worked hard to make it a joyful, fun event.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) out of 10 for Lorimer House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.952 for Lorimer House is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lorimer House is based on 16 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
