Abbey Court is a care community providing the highest level of feelings-based care and support to up to 50 residents.

Care is tailored to suit the individual needs of all who choose to live at the home.

Staff will commit to you from the day you move in and do their best to ensure your stay is as fruitful and meaningful as possible.

The Home is extremely spacious throughout, all rooms are bigger than current standards with most rooms able to cater for couples if they wish to stay together. The four lounge/dining areas are relaxing and homely with plenty of natural light from the large windows.

All meals are prepared on site (unless it is a themed takeaway night).

The Home has a ground-breaking Infection Control Policy which greatly reduces the chances of infection breaking out and reduces the chance of spreading if it does.

There is high speed Wi-Fi throughout the home. They are the first home in Scotland to install infra-red fall detection monitoring into their bedrooms to greatly enhance the safety of residents. So far they have 12 units installed and will soon be adding to cover all 50 bedrooms.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.)

Review from John D (Son of Resident) published on 15 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
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.
Reply from Brian Murray, General Manager at Abbey Court

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My gran has been a resident in Abbey Court care home for over a year now and I cannot recommend the home enough, from the care staff to kitchen staff, cleaners and the management each and every one of them is all excellent and all go above and beyond for all the residents in the home and visitors doing
all that they can. The care and empathy that each and every staff member shows towards all the residents is utterly heartwarming and makes myself and my family feel so much more at ease with my gran being in the home in the lovely environment that it is. Overall Abbey Court is a brilliantly ran home and I couldn’t be any happier when attending visits seeing how well my gran is being looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was very ill in early February. The doctor attended and advised for an ambulance or to treat dad in Abbey Court. The family spoke about it with staff as no way did we want dad in a hospital. They were fantastic allowing us to keep dad where he was most comfortable and the level of care was amazing
to dad and all the family. I could name too many of the girls that gave dad dignity. Attention. Time and love. We are forever grateful. I would be happy to talk to any of the care commission should they wish to do so.

Abbey Courts' quality and standard of care from all staff at all levels is excellent. They always go above and beyond to ensure residents and families are happy. It’s always a very stressful time placing a loved one in a care setting but I had a very good feeling about Abbey Court on my first visit
and still do to this day. They made me feel at ease knowing my relative would be well cared for and this level of care is consistent.

Staff are fantastic, really helped my uncle come out of his shell. He's comfortable talking to them about his needs. There's always something he likes on the menu as they have plenty to choose from, the home is always immaculate and nothing is too much for them, they always go the extra mile. Can't
rate them high enough.

Abbey Court has fantastic management. Staff are so professional so much knowledge within the care sector. High standards are practical and highly noticed throughout the home. Residents within Abbey Court are treated with respect and dignity. Families of the residents are all very well informed of anything
trivial or of the highest importance. My parent has never been happier since she went into the care home.

Can’t fault the staff or treatment given to my mum. In fact, they should all be on the queen's honours list for how they handled the pandemic. I am always thankful for finding Abbey Court. They treat my mum as if she were their relative too.

I had only previously heard the negative press about nursing homes over the past 2 years, however, my opinion of them was changed by 180 degrees after visiting Abbey Court. The press would have you believe that they were in Victorian times, however, this care home was like a modern hotel with its facilities.
The staff were very attentive to the needs of the residents, who seemed very happy to be there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.736)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.736) 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.736 for Abbey Court is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.736
  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 20 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
