Fantastic! thanks so much for all of the help that all the staff who are now like an extended family to us. Like everyone I suppose we were really worried about leaving my dad anywhere that's not home and worried about the care and respect you would hope for, the staff in Cochrane Care Home have put
our worries to bed and I mean that my mum has peace of mind and can sleep more contently knowing that the love of our lives is safe and cared for .
Reply from Donna Neill, Home manager at Cochrane Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you and your family are happy and reassured by the care we provide for your dad. We are delighted that you all feel your dad is happy and safe with us. I will pass your lovely comments on to the staff.

Review from John M (Son of Resident) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can only comment on the Tannahill Unit as I have no contact with the other units.
On the whole, the Unit seems to be running well, some days better than others.
On certain days it can be extremely noisy with blaring TVs, especially when bedroom doors are left wide open and the corridor acts as a
channel for the noise.
I think that there should be more music, particularly music which the residents can identify with, as opposed to the TV in the lounge showing movies/programmes which appear to be of no interest to anybody. When suitable music is played I can see a few feet tapping away even although they appear to be disinterested.
The staff is quite attentive and generally, the residents appear to be getting treated with respect. The rapport between staff and residents varies but is generally excellent.
Reply from Donna Neill, Home Manager at Cochrane Care Home

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you are pleased with the care being given in Cochrane and delighted that you would recommend us to others. We have taken on board your comments and these will be passed to the staff in the unit. Please feel free to speak to staff if at any time you find the noise level is a concern.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum came to Cochrane Care Home in March 2017 and as anyone in this situation knows, it can be an extremely trying time for everyone involved. At first, I didn’t think my mum would settle, but with the help of the staff who took time to help my Mum, she slowly settled and now has many a laughs with
the staff and those involved in her care.


I feel happy with my mum's overall care and I know my mum is in a safe environment. My husband and I were both invited to the homes annual Christmas party which was a 1920's theme and it was a terrific day which my mum thoroughly enjoyed and so did we. The staff went out of their way to make it special which is uplifting to know my mum is getting out and about. Everyone is well looked after my mum is always clean, comfortable and well dressed. The lounge area is a bit dated but this is changing soon. My family and I are always welcome and if there are any issues you just have to speak to a staff member to get it resolved.

I would like to thank all of the staff, from the bottom of my heart, for the great care given to my father in law during his time at Cochrane Care Home. Especially at the end of his life. The empathy and compassion shown by all were amazing. I and my family will never be able to thank you enough.

Review from Robert B (Son of Resident) published on 14 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was invited to join my mother, who is a resident, at Cochrane Home's annual seasonal party.
I was very impressed by the efforts made by staff to embrace the 1920s theme in both attire and enthusiasm as well as the warm and welcoming inclusion of family members - and a marvellous buffet! Held at a
suitable outside venue, a very festive and fun atmosphere was present as was a sense of celebration. My mother was dressed in her personally chosen new party clothes and was very much encouraged to enter into the spirit of things, clearly in her element. Even when I had to leave early due to other caring responsibilities, she was actively engaged in the party activities to her no doubt delight.


This is just the latest example of the personalised care and support given to my mother and even over the few months she has been resident in Cochrane Home, I can bear witness to her flourishing personality and ongoing sense of happiness there.

It is difficult to find anything to be unhappy with. My wife has settled so well in this care home and is due to no small measures of the friendliness and efficiency of the staff at all levels.
The surroundings are really nice and the building is kept spotlessly clean and provide an aura of efficiency.
I
would be very happy to recommend Cochrane Care Home.

I find the care of my mother very good at Cochrane Care Home. The staff are kind, caring and treat the residents well.
I feel more activities could be available and I feel there could be more equipment made available for residents. For example, there is only one stand aid for two units which is not
really satisfactory. Plus more outings should be offered.

My husband has been a resident since December 2016. During his stay, he has had a few health problems and been moved to hospital a few times. I feel that he was taken care of in a very professional manner before entering hospital, and after the care staff and indeed all staff have been very caring and
kind and when our family visit we feel welcome. My husband has settled in and seems to know most of the care staff by name. The home is always clean and tidy and the residents are well taken care of.
I would mention that the furniture is in need of updating and a larger television would be most helpful and enable more people to see it.

My mum has been in the Craigston unit for 6 months now. She has dementia and is immobile therefore needs a high level of care. The staff at Craigston manage mum's needs with care and professionalism. We were delighted at how quickly mum settled into care the staff played a large part in that. They are
always available to speak to us if we have any concerns.
Although mum cannot participate in activities, she is always included.

The month of December has been good for Mum as different types of activities have been organised including going out to a hotel for Christmas lunch and a trip to the local church pantomime in the home's own minibus where all the staff, activities team and management would appear to have gone beyond
their normal realms of duty to satisfy their residents and Christmas day dinner was a treat. Well done to all to and a special thanks to all at The Craigston Unit.

In the short time that Dad was in the Craigston wing of Cochrane Care Home before he passed away, we as a family were very satisfied with the care that he received. The staff were excellent and treated him with great respect. They were very attentive to us as a family. In the last few days of Dad's
life, there were six of us with him day and night and nothing was too much trouble for all the staff. They treated Dad with dignity. We would definitely recommend Cochrane Care Home.

My mother was a resident at Cochrane Care Home for the past 18 months. During this time she was very well cared for by a team of well qualified, well motivated, caring staff who stopped at nothing to ensure my mum received the best of care possible. They also looked after all the family and visitors
at every visit. We felt they had become part of our extended family. My mum passed away on 18th August 2016. She was very peaceful and my sister was with her. As a family, we would recommend this care home to anyone thinking of looking at places for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.749) out of 10 for Cochrane Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 13 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 4.749 for Cochrane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.749
  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 Cochrane Care Home is based on 13 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 13 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.
