I wish to thank the staff of Hazlebank who cared for my mum up to her passing away on the 4th August 2025. For the short time she spent there it was evident she was cared for in a kind and compassionate manner. It is so comforting to know. I would thoroughly recommend this care home to family and friends
making the decision to place their family in care.

My mum spent her last 18 months in Kirknowe Care Home and the care she received was first class.
As a family we cannot thank Hazelbank House enough for everything. I also received a memory book and the activities were a surprise to us as we now understand why she was so tired.

Activities could be better understood this is due to staffing levels/vacancies, in all other respects the care and provision is excellent and to the highest standard.

Since arriving at Kirknowe in late December 2024 I have settled into the care environment. I have been given the regular opportunity to socialise with other residents and staff who have all been very supportive since my arrival. I am much more positive in my outlook with the set-up and am pleased with
the kind caring attitude given to me by all staff. My personal care and medical needs are being well met and I am beginning to make improvements with my mobility. Kirknowe has been a very positive choice for me and my family.

Mum was in Hazelbank for four months until she passed in January. From the moment we walked in to Hazelbank we were struck by the homely ambience and we knew mum was going to be happy. She was cared for by the staff with compassion and dignity which was extended to include the family. We cannot put
into words our gratitude for the outstanding care mum received. Thank you to you all for going above and beyond.

My mum Helen was a resident in Hazelbank till she sadly passed away in January. I could not have wished for a better team to have looked after her while she was there. The care she received was fantastic the staff became her second family and myself and the family will always be grateful to them for
the care they gave my mum.

My mum resided at Kirknowe for approximately 18 months and during that time, the care received was exceptional. The staff were caring and attentive to Mum, providing the family with peace of mind. The home had lots of activities and entertainment, with the residents clearly enjoying these. I cannot
thank the staff enough for their support and compassion to my mum and our family during my mum's stay, especially during the last few weeks of her life.

Words cannot express what the staff at Kirknowe have done for my wee dad. My dad had been left to lie in bed for 5 months by the NHS but the staff at Kirknowe have had him sitting up and helping him to walk again. The staff are excellent and they are superheroes without capes. I cannot thank them enough
for their support and time they have spent with my dad.

Mum's new home from February 2024 to her sad passing in May 2024 and she absolutely loved it. All the staff in Kirknowe were amazing, they were wonderful with Mum and treated her with nothing but kindness and respect. It was kept spotlessly clean and Mum said the food was fabulous.

Dad was a resident in Kirknowe Care Home from September 2022 until his passing in August 2023. During that time the care he received was exceptional. Not only was he looked after but they also looked after us as a family. I would highly recommend them to anyone and still do.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for Kirknowe Care Home 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.799 for Kirknowe Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 244 Ratings = 4.799
  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 Kirknowe Care Home is based on 21 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 21 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.
