Review from Robert C (Son of Resident) published on 6 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't have found a nicer friendlier environment for my mum. The staff (and I speak as a retired nurse) are so friendly and attentive to my mum's needs. Nothing is too much for them, the environment around the complex is not well maintained and a lovely place to take my mum to sit in the nicer weather.
Lots of activities are arranged for the residents, including a new vehicle for speaking face to face. I live 400 miles away but I can sleep easy knowing my mum is being well cared for.

Review from Dorothy P (Wife of Resident) published on 18 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I had my husband put in for respite, he is totally dependant on care for all his needs, on the fourth day which was a Monday, I went in to visit, he was lying with no pillow or blankets, a flat sheet that was under him was all rolled underneath, he was lying with bare leg and feet, he was white with
the cold. I pointed this out to a member of staff and was told the heating was on, some of his clothes were missing and have never been found, I was really angry when I visited him on Wednesday, and things were just as bad. To me it was lack of staff but that is no excuse for the way he was looked after, I would say this care home is ok as long as you could get about, but not if you are bed bound, I immediately made arrangements to get him back home and out of his room, I felt he was put there out of the way, if I had left feedback at the time it would have been worse. My review is totally from my experience. More staff and staff training needed.

My mother was in this nursing home for nine days respite care and thought the place was excellent. She was made to feel welcome. There was a great choice of food. The dining room/lounge was very bright and cheery. Rooms are very modern. The care she received in this home was excellent, nothing was too
much trouble. All staff were very friendly.

The home is a quiet area with good parking facilities and very nice gardens. Security into the home is strongly evident. The staff are excellent, caring, friendly and respectful. The most important issue is that both my in-laws have a marked improvement in their health.We are very happy with the service
provided. Our thanks go to the manager and staff for the level of professionalism shown to our parents. Thank you.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Uncaring throughout Linnwell unit. Staff are moved around units. Staff leaving constantly as lack of care for residents. Personally viewed and experienced this every day of seven-month stay. Residents left pleading to go to the toilet, being left for short of an hour, no snacks offered, limited tea
and coffee to set times as with toilet runs. Little or no communication from staff to residents. Silent social rooms, lack of mental stimulation. Constant shortage of staff, therefore, residents not up early so miss out on breakfast altogether. Home manager downwards lack of care, respect and dignity towards residents. Care Inspectorate informed of all actual facts.

Mam was in this home for 3 weeks respite, the care was very good but the house manager was appalling when we had a problem. Clothes and personal items went missing and they made a huge mix up with her pills so much so that they were giving her pills she should not be on!! Very worrying, we have raised
a formal complaint about the place.

Review from Lorna W (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father, having suffered from Dementia for 14 years and in the latter stages of this horrible disease needed 24-hour care in his last few weeks.
We had been very anxious about choosing the right care home, but the staff at Nethercraigs (Braemount) were absolutely lovely and couldn't have been more
reassuring. In the six weeks of his stay, before he sadly passed away, we took turns in visiting him regularly. We were advised that he would probably lose weight in the first couple of weeks until he adjusted to his new home, but to the contrary, we had never seen him eat so much!
My dad was always well turned out and well groomed when we visited and always looked happy. Although he had a lovely ensuite bedroom, he spent most of the time in the conservatory, soaking up the sun (he always was a sun-worshipper).
We are sure he died happy and we can't thank the professional, caring staff enough for that.

My dear friend is a resident of the home and is happy with her care and her lovely ensuite room with her personal pictures etc around.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Braemount Care Home 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.838 for Braemount Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.838
  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 Braemount Care Home is based on 19 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 19 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.
