I was very impressed during my recent visits to see how friendly & caring the staff all are at Struan Lodge. Everyone was so kind and helpful when visiting to see my partner on several occasions. I was asked if I would like to have lunches or coffee and I saw how well the residents were looked after.
We had a birthday party in the garden and the kitchen staff provided a beautiful cake.

Each time I visit Struan Lodge to see my lovely old neighbour, I am very much welcomed by the support staff and carers alike. The staff all seem to know the residents very well and being in a smaller, cozy and comfortable care home is exactly what my lovely friend needs. The care staff and nurses are
very nurturing and considerate and I believe my friend is extremely well looked after.

I visit regularly and find the staff very welcoming and courteous. My brother is well looked after and consideration is given to his diet. He enjoys all his meals. He has always loved music and I was able to take a small music centre in for him so that he is able to listen to his CD's. I am very happy
with his care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting a friend for 6 months, just over and have always been impressed with the treatment she has been receiving. The staff go over and above to make residents comfortable and encourage them to take part in a variety of activities. The home is always spotlessly clean throughout from the
rooms to the communal areas. The food always looks and smells fresh and seems to be enjoyed by the residents. A good selection is always on offer. Having a hairdresser on site is just another personal touch which I think is important for self-worth. As a regular visitor, the care I witness can only be described as excellent.
Reply from Monique McBeath, Manager at Struan Lodge

Thank you very much for your kind words. As a team, we are building to be strong, kind, caring and inclusive to all residents, families and friends. It is nice to see validation of the efforts the staff are making to the home and the residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been a resident since October 23. The care she has received has been second to none. The admission process was smooth, and the welcome we got was excellent. The staff know everyone by name and will speak to them even just in passing, which is lovely to see. It is very quiet in and outside.
The staff have taken the time to know her likes and dislikes and are happy for our input on what, if anything, they can do better.
She was recently admitted to the hospital, and the staff were so quick to alert us that she was unwell and kept us informed at every stage, allowing us to be with her the entire time.
We are welcome to visit at any time and stay for meals, which shows they are happy for you to be there at any time.

My mother's care in this nursing home is excellent. My mother has dementia; she can answer appropriately and knows her family. She does not like to be touched, which makes nursing care difficult, but the staff manage, and she is always fresh and well cared for. She spends most of her days in bed; she
has to be hoisted, which she does not like, but has been done recently and hopefully will be again soon. The staff are considerate, kind and respectful. Their communication skills are also excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was a carer for my sister for over six years after she was found to have dementia, I felt I could not provide the professional skill she required to maintain a comfortable standard of living.
It was upsetting when the GP advised she would be better looked after in a care home.
After checking out
several homes, Struan Lodge felt comfortable and homely.
The staff were so welcoming to my sister and myself, so I knew she would settle in there.
It was peace of mind for me.
The staff keep me informed of any health updates relating to her. They go out of their way to maintain a happy home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother developed dementia in her mid-eighties and has now been a resident for over four years. Our GP recommended Struan Lodge when we were looking for a place where Mum would receive the care she needed, and I am so pleased she got a place there. She was made to feel welcome from the first day,
quickly settled in after a short period of confusion, and is now very content. The home is relatively small, which makes it feel more intimate and friendly. It also means that you get to know most of the staff, and though there is some turnover, I can say that without exception, they have all been really great with Mum. They also keep me fully informed of her condition at all times, and we have regular reviews about her care plan. I have peace of mind knowing that Mum is in good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot stress enough the kindness and competence of all the staff at Struan Lodge. Every time I phone or visit my gran, every member of staff knows who she is and is up to date with her care needs. They are so kind to my gran at all times and are often in touch to keep us up-to-date and involved in
her care. Before my gran was in a care home, she was with us full-time, so it was a big adjustment and a very emotional time for us. My gran has settled in so, so well, mostly due to the kindness she experiences. She may have dementia, but she knows that she is being well looked after and often says how lucky she is. It gives us great peace of mind. The food is great, the hairdresser always makes her look great, and the activities are fab. Cannot praise the Struan Lodge staff enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum moved into Struan at the end of June following a very rapid decline in her cognitive ability with Alzheimer's.
As with any move with a loved one with dementia, there were a few admin teething issues but not around the care of our mum, which has been and is absolutely amazing!
My mum has settled
so well, and this is down to the staff and management of the home who provide such good care to all residents.
My mum is taking part in activities she would not normally do; she has friends with other residents, having chats and tea regularly.
The staff took time to get to know us and our mum, asking about her, our wider family, what she was like etc, so they can interact with her and support her, as like with anything, she has good and bad days with her illness.
As with the whole care sector, staffing issues can be a problem, but we know this is not the home's fault, and the agency staff they do get are lovely as well.
We feel lucky to have mum in here; they are an extension of our family.
Reply from Tabatha Jacome-Sturge, Manager at Struan Lodge

Thank you very much for such kind words. We are glad that mum has settled in so well and made some good friends; she is a pleasure to care for and has fitted into our little family well. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Review from Ray S (Son of Resident) published on 24 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The only downside to this care home, but it’s like most others, is the frequent use of agency staff - residents really appreciate continuity, but I realise with Brexit etc; it is inevitable.
My one gripe is that the costs go up, yet on what? Not the staff wages for sure; if they did, most relatives
would be happy to pay the cost.
Huge improvement with the re-employment as since the managers left, they have been lacking empathy and general social skills with relatives.
My admiration for all staff is at the top level, most of the carers have been there since my relative moved into Struan.

Thank you for your review. I completely understand and respect your thoughts around agency, and we are working hard to eradicate usage. We continue to commit to colleagues' pay reviews, and we value our staff greatly. We look forward to seeing you soon.

My mum has been coming to Struan Lodge for regular respite for the last couple of months.
The staff have been very good at listening to my sister and myself when explaining her specific care needs and have been very caring towards her. The have made an effort to get to know her, and we are very happy
that my dad can have a break from being her main carer and know she is being well looked after.
The location of the home, next to the cycle path and golf course, mean we can take her out for a walk, which is also a bonus.

I am a friendly and joint power of attorney for a lady who was placed in Struan Lodge to free up a hospital bed until she could be returned to her house with a care package. The home was clean and well suited. The view from her bedroom window of trees and wildlife was particularly appreciated by her.
Staff were welcoming and friendly to her need and took her for local walks, which she loved. Very helpful and nice.

I am very pleased with how my mum is looked after. I would say I would like a permanent hairdresser, as you did have one that was in every Monday, and my mum's hair was always nice as she is used to getting it done, but now her hair is a mess with an Aliceband - not good. I also think the rooms could
get a wee bit of colour on the walls as they seem to be spending more and more time in there; it would cheer the residents up.

Review from Jim C (Husband of Resident) published on 28 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In the past year, the care home has been subjected to the stressful rigours of coping with Covid 19 whilst maintaining the high standards of caring for its residents. The management, carers and other staff have successfully applied all the many regulations required to prevent an outbreak of this dreadful
disease, and I am very grateful for that.
My wife has now been in Struan for almost 2-years, and I have witnessed the original high standard of care being maintained during this time.
Since I have not been allowed into the building for 10-months, I am unable to complete the options. These options I have marked 'satisfactory'. However, I have every confidence that high standards are being maintained.
The only communications I get with my wife is by using the video link. By modern standards the quality of this system is not so good - it needs replacing.
Reply from Tabatha Jacome-Sturge, Manager at Struan Lodge

Thank you very much for your kind words; we are very happy that you are pleased with the care here at Struan. We apologise for any issues with video communication, and we are working towards achieving better signals for our building.

My mother has been a resident of Struan Lodge for over a year. She has a bright room with a view over the well maintained, attractive and colourful garden, which she loves to look at through her window. She can also watch walkers and cyclists going along the public footpath nearby. Mum has been thoughtfully
and consistently well cared for by members of staff throughout her stay, which has been during the very challenging period of Covid 19. Mum's individual needs have been attended to, and she has always been treated with dignity and respect. Any concerns or queries that I have had have been answered promptly and with consideration.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.513)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.513) out of 10 for Struan Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.813 for Struan Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.813
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Struan Lodge is based on 7 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 7 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.
