From the moment I was shown around Almond Court by the manager, I was struck by the welcoming atmosphere of the place. Every staff membre from doemstic, handyfolk, carers, activity lady & nurses were friendly and chatty. My mum has only been a resident for a week but I am so impressed by the attention
and level of care she receives! Its like being part of a family. Such a relief to know my mum is in good hands now I can no longer care for her myself. Big thanks to all staff!

I have nothing but praise for this home. Although I can't compare it with any other home, I find the staff very professional, kind and understanding to patients, families and visitors alike.
I find that nothing is any trouble to the staff. All are very professional, kind and understanding and accommodating
when asked for information or help observation. It is great to relax and sleep at night knowing my wife is being cared for by professional carers.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care and nursing staff are always friendly and approachable and attentive to my partner's needs. If I have any concerns is that occasionally noise levels in the lounge can cause my partner to become anxious and agitated - could be managed better? On the whole, the food is well-presented and nutritious
and there is plenty of orange and blackcurrant squash on hand. Some of the bedroom furniture could do with being replaced but my partner's room is always clean and tidy. The care home manager continues to run the home extremely effectively and is, and always has been, very helpful, approachable and supportive.

My sister recently moved into Almond Court Care Home after the care home she had lived in for six years closed unexpectedly. However, I'm very glad to say that the staff at Almond Court have proved to be very good at taking care of her and dealing with her complete needs. They have shown patience, skill
and kindness while looking after my sister. A good variety of enjoyable meals are served. The decor in the home is bright and colourful and the standard of cleanliness is high.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On the whole, I think Almond Court Care Home is a good care home, although I have little to compare it with. I rated the 'value for money' as 'poor' which is a reflection on the current high cost of residential care - so not aimed specifically at Almond Court. The staff are all very good and very friendly
and welcoming which makes visiting so much easier. I really like the fact that you are trusted with the door code and don't have to ring a bell. It makes the place seem more welcoming.
Main gripe is about glasses going missing but the staff do their best to find them. My husband is guilty of moving stuff about so a lot may be down to him.
Overall, a good place with a good manager.

My mum is generally treated with care and consideration. When her weight fell, they immediately put her on a fortified diet, and the cook and I have had conversations about Mum's likes and dislikes, which have improved her eating habits and have put weight on her. There is a varied set of activities
now, although Mum doesn't join in - she enjoys seeing others and listening to any music.

The staff are very professional and caring, interactive with every resident. Always organising events for residents, never have temp workers so the staff know the people and it's better for them to have familiar faces. Can't fault this care home. 100% perfect.

Review from E B (Wife of Resident) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are great and we're really happy with the majority of the facilities. Some areas for improvement would be to introduce more activities geared towards men as my husband is not really interested in participating in the current activities on offer. My husband also feels that his hot meals are
often rather cold e.g. potatoes, veg, and chips are particularly cold so he isn't eating as much as he normally would which is becoming quite concerning.
If these points can be addressed, I feel my husband would be a lot happier.
Reply from Annie Irvine, Service Manager at Almond CourtThank you for your comment. We take all concerns very seriously and are keen to investigate to ensure the well-being and safety of all residents. Please email manager@almondcourt-carehome.co.uk so we can arrange a call to discuss.

A huge thank you to all staff at Almond Court care home, Drumchapel for all their care, comfort and attention given to my late brother during his 5/6 years as a resident. Everyone did a marvellous job under some very exacting circumstances, as I saw on my visits. This was very much appreciated by me
and my family. I would certainly recommend this care home and have done to friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was extremely happy with the standard of care, compassion and dignity that was afforded to my mum during her time within Almond Court. After experiencing less than adequate care at a different facility, I was very apprehensive about placing my mum and our trust in another. However, within minutes
of speaking with the manager, my fears and worries were alleviated and I knew that this would be the best place for my mum to live out the remainder of her life. During visits, other family members and I were made to feel welcome and nothing was ever too much for the attentive staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home and I am forever grateful for all they have done for my family.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.243)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.243) out of 10 for Almond Court 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 4.4 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 4.810 for Almond Court is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.81
  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 4.433 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Almond Court 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 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 = 3.6
    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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.833
  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.
