My brother went into Barchester Four Hills last July, he settled down very well. The staff are excellent and very caring, they phone and tell you if anything is wrong, you can ask questions and they will answer you. The reception staff are so welcome when you come in for your visit and very friendly.

My mum went into care to Barchester Four Hills Care home on April 1st 2021, obviously there are still a lot of Covid-19 restrictions in place, so my review takes into account the limited experience we have had so far. The public areas and my mum's room always seem to be clean and well kept. We brought
up personal effects to make her feel at home and everything is cleaned and disinfected before going into her room. The staff have been very good and have been proactive in keeping me updated with things happening with my mum, even so much as calling to tell me she's been outside or that she's been talking with other residents. We quickly established a good rapport with the staff and the unit manager, particularly from the Lambhill unit. The manager has been fantastic, both at caring for my mum and also helping me become more comfortable accepting my mum's new normal. I expect my scores to be higher as restrictions relax and I can observe my mum getting more use of the facilities and we can visit more regularly.

My uncle is receiving Palliative care. He says he feels well looked after and that all the staff are very good. He enjoys the food and feels that he is getting all the care he needs. I feel the precautions taken to allow to visit are warranted and carried out with respect. The staff are all friendly,
and I feel satisfied with the care package.

I cannot praise the staff at Fourhills enough. The care and attention that they provided my mum allowed her to live comfortably in her own space until she passed rather than constant hospital visits (which was a fortnightly occurrence for the 2-years before she moved into the home). Unfortunately, due
to Covid-19, we were unable to spend as much time with our Mum as we would have liked - it was a terrible time for us as a family, however, the care my mum received, and also the communication that the staff had with us, did help to ease our worry. The staff at this time not only cared for my mum but took the place of her family, and we will be forever grateful for that.

My dad has been in Four Hills nursing home for some time now, and the care he receives is excellent. All the staff in the Ruchill unit have looked after him very well. Supporting his every need and they know him so well; he has a wicked sense of humour, and they picked up on that right away. He enjoys
being there. From the minute you arrive, to the end of your visit there, you are welcomed and the staff are so nice.

My mother has been in the care home for some time now, and while I was apprehensive at first as to how she would settle, I am very happy with how she has been looked after. She has had lots of attention, and when she was able, she always told me how great the food was. As her dementia has worsened,
the level of care has increased, and although I haven't been able to see her for a while, I am more than happy and relaxed that she is in good hands.

Our mother was only in Four Hills for a few days, following her discharge from hospital. She was very frail, following many years of Alzheimer's and more recently a stroke and sadly passed away shortly after her arrival. However, we were very happy with the quality of the care she received and could
see that she was much happier, more relaxed and much more responsive while she was there. She was made very welcome and the staff put a lot of effort into getting to know her and making her feel at home. They cared for her lovingly, and could not have been kinder. We were very grateful for this, especially in her final hours and also for the support provided to ourselves at this time.

Initially, we were apprehensive as any family would be, but this quickly changed and we just cannot thank the whole staff within Four Hills enough. The professional way and the care they gave throughout to my mother-in-law's time there was exceptional and always given with kindness, dignity and thoughtfulness.
We

Four Hills Care Home was exactly the care my aunt needed in her final days. The staff did everything (and more) to treat, support and comfort her. After she passed, the staff made sure, I and my family were informed immediately, took care of every detail and continued to help with advice and arrangements.

My aunt was initially admitted in August 2018 to the Firhill unit. She received excellent care from the team leader and his team, we also felt cared for and supported. The thought of a loved one moving into a residential care setting is daunting but in our case, with the help of the staff at Four Hills,
the reality was so much better than we ever imagined. My aunt was so settled and content that we sought to make her temporary placement a permanent one. She was transferred to the Lambhill unit in October 2018. The team leader of this unit and her excellent team welcomed her warmly. Her room was lovely, warm and inviting and we enjoyed spending time with her there. The day rooms were a wee bit less fresh, although that didn't seem to bother my aunt. She thoroughly enjoyed the freshly prepared meals and weekly trips to the onsite hairdresser. Sadly, my aunt passed away in hospital in May 2019 after a short illness. We are so very thankful to the team leader and the Lambhill team and will never forget their care and commitment.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.575)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.575) out of 10 for Barchester Four Hills Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.575 for Barchester Four Hills Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.575

  • b) 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 Barchester Four Hills Care Home is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
