The staff at Marchmont House Care Home have been exceptional and very warm and welcoming. Any request is dealt with very quickly and efficiently. The staff are very respectful and caring towards my parent. The overall feeling of the home is very friendly, happy and homely and we’re very grateful for
the care provided. We look forward to the patio garden and the vegetable plot as that will give people an additional interest and get them outdoors now we’re in summer. We rated the activities as 4, only because we’re still coming out of Covid and they haven’t started their day trips yet.

Absolutely delighted with the care my dad is receiving. He is looking great and enjoying all the fun and activities. The staff are fantastic and can’t do enough for him. It’s a very hard decision to place a parent into a care home but I would highly recommend Marchmont.

All the facilities in the care home are excellent from management, nursing staff, carers, handy man and cleaners - all are helpful. The rooms are always kept spotless. Food and service is excellent. I would recommend the care home to anyone needing care. I am extremely happy to allow my dad to stay

I found the staff to be warm, caring and most importantly treated Mum well. When she was in initially for respite, I had confidence that she was being well cared for. Staff made time for her and made sure she was safe, happy and comfortable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been here for a little while now and I am very happy here. All the staff are so helpful and understanding and nothing ever seems to be a bother to them. I have learned how to crochet, I do jigsaw puzzles and word searches and play many different games, we all love the music that is played and
the staff help us remember our favourite songs so that they can be played. My favourite activity is bingo where I meet my friends for a nice chat. My bedroom has a lovely view over the river which can also be seen from the lounges. I enjoy the food here and the staff keep the place nice and clean.

Review from Bernadette O (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We looked around at different care homes for my mum and nothing compared to Marchmont. It doesn’t feel like a care home or too clinical, it was very welcoming and homely. The manager and staff are all very respectful and caring towards Mum, they look after her very, very well like it was their own mum,
which is what we wanted and Mum is very happy and content at Marchmont. I can’t praise the manager, staff and care home enough, it gave myself and my family peace of mind knowing that Mum was very well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Marchmont House 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.933 for Marchmont House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.933
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marchmont House Care Home is based on 14 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
