Thank-you very much for your feedback which is vital to us as we strive to maintain the very best standards throughout. It's a great observation that not all staff are wearing their name badges consistently and a topic which we will address at our team meetings and ensure is resolved. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are glad that you find all members of staff to be helpful, and apologise that sometimes there may be a slight delay in the door being answered as the team may be delivering personal care, medications or assisting with a meal service. Best wishes and thanks again.

We are very sorry that your mother has had a fall whilst staying at the Care Home. We reported this to you straight away, and to Adult Support and Protection who have now investigated and closed the case. Unfortunately a Care Home stay does not eradicate the risk of falls completely, however it is not a common occurrence so when it does happen we are sure to follow all of the correct procedures as we did on this occasion. We send our very best wishes to your mother and hope that she is doing well and keeping safe. Thank-you.

Hello and thank you so much for your review and feedback. Your mum's 100th was a wonderful occasion and it was fantastic that the community and other resident's got so involved to help her celebrate such a momentous occasion. Thank you for raising the point about room refurbishments, which we will be addressing over the winter months and also your feedback about visitor access to the day room, which we will pass on to the appropriate team member for consideration. Best wishes and thank you again for helping us to mark your mum's big birthday with such a great party!

Thank you very much for your review and for your complimentary comment about our kind and supportive staff. Your feedback is valuable to us as we strive to achieve and maintain high standards in all aspects of our service. We are happy to let you know that over the last month we have not been required to use any day agency staff in Craigpark House, we have several new experienced permanent recruits and have been operating on a high ratio of staff to Residents. Hopefully, on your next visit, this will be evident. We also have a new head chef on board who has made a lot of improvements and we are now receiving very positive feedback around the quality and choice of food served. Your sister often asks for alternatives to our daily menus which we are happy to provide. All new recruits complete a wide range of in-house and external training on induction and training is ongoing throughout their service with new compulsory courses being added regularly. Thanks again and best wishes.

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.642) out of 10 for Golfhill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.313 for Golfhill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.313
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 4.329 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Golfhill Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
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 105 registered maximum number of service users is 21. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.429
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.
