The place is tidy, smart and the staff and management are excellent. My wife has put on weight since she came in the home and her pain is managed very well. Care delivery has been excellent and the staff could not do enough for her.

What a delight it is to visit my sister at Cathkin House Care Home. Her care has been outstanding, carried out by extremely professional, courteous and caring staff, it is obvious that it is a great place to work. My sister is happy and her health and well-being have improved enormously in the last

Review from K W (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Initially good but then standards dropped rapidly. Dont, know if it was due to staffing levels or not.
Mum broke her left wrist in March 2023 and I was telephoned at 2.30 am and then at 7.30 am demanding that I attend the hospital. Mum didn't want me there, she wasn't dying. But went anyway.
Mum complained
upon returning that her wrist was still painful even after the cast had been removed and it was clearly visible that her wrist was not right. Fast forward 4 weeks when mum again had a fall and I sat with her for 3 hours waiting for an ambulance. Then 3.5 hours in a hospital car park waiting to be triaged with no pain relief. Mum was discharged back to the home, however, she was complaining of terrible pain in her side and for 8 days was ignored by staff. I had requested additional pain relief and was ignored then finally a doctor was called and suspected her hip had been damaged. She had a broken pelvis, she lay for 8 days in agony with a broken pelvis being ignored by the staff.

Both management and care staff have been very patient and attentive to my mother since her arrival in January 2023. Management's advice, help and sensitive listening to us have made things much easier for us. There is normally plenty of staff around when we visit which we find reassuring. Staff respond
quickly to our requests and help facilitate special events, like my mother's recent birthday. We have been very happy with my mum's care at Cathkin House Care Home.

My mum unexpectedly and quickly needed professional, 24-hour care. This is the first place myself and sister viewed, we immediately had a very positive "feel" for the place. From day one, from the manager to every member of staff, to this day, have been so friendly, helpful and professional. I can only
say that I feel comfortable, relaxed and positive that my mum is receiving exceptional care on a daily basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was very frail when he moved to Cathkin House Care Home in May 2022 following a three month hospital stay and we are delighted to see that he has settled well, is engaging with staff and other residents and putting on weight. Since Dad moved to Cathkin I have noticed that all of the care team go
above and beyond for their residents. Yesterday Mum and Dad celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary by enjoying a lovely meal for two at a beautifully set table in the quiet lounge with candles, music and fizz. All of this was instigated and delivered by the team at Cathkin and much appreciated by Mum and Dad.
A big thank you to the manager and her team for all that they do.

My wife has been in Cathkin House Care Home for a month. On arrival, the room had been freshly decorated as promised. The staff are caring, polite and helpful.
My wife requires support with personal care and this is provided in a sensitive manner.
Very impressed with the caring attitude of all staff.
Leadership is also excellent.

Mum has only been a resident at Cathkin House Care Home for just over two weeks, it is, therefore, difficult to comment on all of the categories. To date, however, we have had a very positive experience and have received excellent support and guidance from the manager and other staff we have met so
far, during what has been a very stressful time for our family. Mum appears to have settled reasonably well and we look forward to working with all staff to ensure her happiness and contentment.

I recently moved my mum from another care home into Cathkin House Care Home. It was a big decision as she is 93 and has dementia. However, even though she has only been there a short time, it's proving to be the best decision we have ever made on my mum's behalf.
The staff, including the managers,
are wonderful and treat my mum with love and respect. She looks great and is settling in well. I can sleep again at night knowing she is being well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Cathkin House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.907 for Cathkin House is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.907
  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 Cathkin House is based on 19 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2021

I joined Cathkin House in February 2021 and I was encouraged to join Care UK as I had heard about the diversity of the company - the caring practice and the values of the company says everything.


I have been working in the care industry for 20 years now. I came to Scotland as a general registered nurse from Mauritius and with the support of my peers, I worked my way up the career ladder.


One of my biggest career highlights has been the awards I’ve won in my previous care homes. I’m proud to have won awards within the company, a Scottish care award as well as a community award for the care delivery in my home and engagement with the community.


As a home manager, you need to be a good listener, patient and compassionate towards both your residents and staff. I believe you lead by example rather than being the boss.


I am looking forward to promoting excellence in dementia in the home. I am also focusing on developing the person-centred care approach in the home, enablement, and implementing more meaningful activities.
