Delighted with the care my uncle receives. Staff are so friendly and caring. Management are amazing. Nothing is ever too much. Activities in the home are very good and meaningful. My uncle loves having a job in the care home looking after the animals, this gives him a great purpose. Highly recommend.

Review from L S (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mum was in this care home for 5 short months. I witnessed first hand as did my sisters a persistent failure to provide adequate care for my mum and other residents with dementia including not administering life saving medication timely, staff swearing and shouting as well as openly vaping. Putting
rave music on in the lounge for their own enjoyment rather than the residents. The list is endless. We visited mum nearly every day as we had to provide the care they failed to give. My mum passed away in June unexpected. We contacted the Care Commission who were seriously concerned (emails to corroborate this) and they were moving forward fast to investigate. Abbey Court changed their registered name during this period and horrifyingly under Scot's Law, Abbey Court no longer exist as a business and cannot be investigated. The CC inspector was devastated and tried every legal route to overcome this. Our guilt and grief is devastating at the lack of accountability. Don't put loved ones here.

Review from K F (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has settled in really well and been well looked after. Many of the team show genuine care for the residents Room is spotlessly clean every time I visit. Mum is always clean and well presented (albeit every item of white clothing is now pink or grey). Food is generally good but lunch portions looks
especially small, the soup portion in a bowl only fills to halfway in a mug. Getting set up with local GP was stressful as delayed medication for infection and regular tests. Why doesn't Abbey Court have a registered nurse on the team? It is evident that refurbishment works are underway but couldn't old carpets be professionally cleaned? I find myself apologising to visitors.

Since Mum has been in the care of Abbey Court she is happy there and likes the staff who look after her. The only issue we have is the food but that might just be Mum being fussy. Also, I think the residents need more stimulation and the home would benefit more from employing an activity coordinator.

All staff were kind, considerate, polite and very caring to our mother, ourselves and any friends that visited.
The home is extremely clean, and they make a massive effort to encourage the residents and visitors to join in with the varied activities, both indoors and outdoors, all aimed at stimulating
and exercising for the residents.
There is always a friendly smile and a cup of tea on the go if you would like one.

My dad has been a resident of Abbey Court for over 5 years now and I have no problems with the care that my dad has received whilst being there. All staff from cleaners, kitchen, carers and managers go above and beyond to make Abbey Court the great care home that it is and would definitely recommend.

My first impression was Abbey Court was clean and spacious allowing the residents space to move around under the watchful eye of the staff. Also gives the residents the option of having company or alone time. The bedrooms are clean and organised suited to each resident's preference. I particularly like
the resident's artwork on display. The new build adjoining Abbey Court is outstanding and beautiful with all the mod cons so different from the regular care home image. Abbey Court is very resident preference orientated, which suggests good management.

Abbey Court is remarkable. The care they give to each individual resident is outstanding; they go above and beyond for not only their residents but their families. It’s a home-to-home environment making the difficult transition to care a smooth and easy process for those involved. Thank you to management
and all the staff for all your dedication and hard work.

My personal experience of Abbey Court has been first-rate. My Mum is 97 years of age and has been a resident for coming up to two years. Prior to having Alzheimer's my Mum loved family, socialising, theatre and dining out. In Abbey Court, they have parties, for every occasion, on the calendar, also
entertainment. Craft workshops and exercise classes etc. Beautiful food on a daily basis, as well as individual birthday cakes for each and every resident. The staff make each day as enjoyable as possible for each and every resident, creating an "ambience" to the Care Home, that gives a feeling of home. Residents are always kept very smart looking. They treat every resident with love and respect, while tending to their every need both mentally, and physically, in a very caring and understanding, homely, environment. So I am very grateful. (We also get to enjoy the WhatsApp group and see pictures of activities. It's so nice to see everyone interacting and participating.)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum first entered the home to provide me with respite at the start of April and then became a permanent resident at the end of May. I cannot recommend the home enough, my initial impression was to judge by its outside appearance in April and thought I may have made a bad choice. How wrong that was.
From the minute my mum entered the home, I really learned not to judge a book by its cover. All the care staff, kitchen staff, cleaners and the management were caring and wanting to help the residents, which is exactly what you want and need. Each and every one of them is excellent and friendly. They go above and beyond for all the residents doing whatever they can to make the residents feel at home, cared for and to ensure any visitors feel welcome. The care and empathy, the staff show, made the fact that my mum had to be a permanent resident much easier as I knew she would be well cared for amongst nice people. I would recommend Abbey Court to anyone whose relative requires care.

Thank you for the kind review, we are so glad you chose us and hope the improvements to the outside appearance will make it a more pleasant experience when you visit.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.653)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.653) out of 10 for Abbey Court 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.653 for Abbey Court is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.653
  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 Abbey Court is based on 15 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 15 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.
