Review from Mina H (Sister of Resident) published on 13 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother was in Cathkin House Care Home for palliative care for a short time, we cannot praise the management and care staff enough. My brother and the family were made to feel welcome from the start. All staff treated him and us with care and compassion at all times. The individual care he received
was outstanding. It was a home from home for him. I would highly recommend this home for a loved one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the outset, we knew that we had chosen a truly super care home for Mum.
Staff and management listened to our concerns and acted appropriately on them.
Mum was treated with dignity, compassion, care and love.
Every member of the staff here from management, nurses, carers, auxiliaries are angels
in disguise.
This establishment was spotless and the care was exemplary.
Mum was extremely happy and relaxed in her time there.
We as a family cannot praise them highly enough.
Special thanks must go to the manager of the unit who made us feel like family.

The staff have been extremely welcoming, friendly, supportive, and professional. My sister has only been a resident since May, but she appears happy and content responding well to staff.

Mum has been at Cathkin House for 6 weeks, her move during lockdown was handled seamlessly. I have found the staff to be caring and nothing seems too much trouble. I would happily recommend this home.
As I have only had 30-minute visits I cannot comment on some options.

Review from Margaret S (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident with the care home for a few years now. The staff take great care of her needs and wellbeing, encouraging her to join in with others during events. When she is having an off day and feeling sad they help to cheer her up. I got a big welcome from staff during my first indoor
visit since lockdown. It felt good being able to speak to Mum from inside the care home being able to chat to her without any noisy traffic. The staff are all fantastic looking after the residents during this worrying time.

Staff are wonderful. Food is great. The bedroom is great. I require a lot of attention and I receive it.
I like one member of staff in particular, she is so kind and helpful to me. I have had a very bad year and was very low in spirit but was helped very much by the care.
My helper is my son and carer
and he is so pleased at the attention he gets from the staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
During the last two years of my mums life, she was treated with care and concern. Due to dementia, mum could be very difficult to manage but was treated with patience and respect at all times. Manager knew all patients well and was always willing to be available if required. Meals were of a very good
standard and mum enjoyed her meals.

My mother has been at the care home since July and I am extremely pleased with the care and dignity shown towards her since she has arrived here.
The home is the very best place for my mum as she has very friendly residents and staff around her who attend to all her needs.
She is happy there and joins
in most of the activities.
I am extremely happy with my mum's feeling of enjoyment and there has been no sense of her feeling lonely.
It is such a pleasure to see her smiling when we arrive to visit her.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having looked at many nursing homes in East Kilbride, we decided to opt for Cathkin House to look after my father who had been in the hospital for a long time and was now being transferred to a nursing home. Having looked around the home we were impressed with the rooms as well as layout and also the
garden area outside, which sadly my father never got to use. Having spent a lot of time with my father before he passed I knew that I had made the right choice of home for him. The staff were absolutely fantastic in caring for him, nothing was too much trouble they really went above the call of duty looking after him and also my mother who was there always. Every single member of staff treated him with dignity and compassion and I wish to thank you all from the bottom of my heart .

I feel that Cathkin House is generally run well. The nurses and staff on my mothers floor look after her well. My mum is fortunate that her family attend everyday to visit and the staff appreciate the help we give, The nurse and carers are very good. Even the cleaner is very attentive to my mum. Sometimes
the food could be better. On the whole we are pleased with her care.

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.
