Having moved my dad from another care home in March this year, my sister and I were anxious about him settling. The staff in my dad's unit in Lornebank have really got to know my dad and his 'ways'. They have quickly learned what matters to him and treat him with respect and dignity. They continually
strive to find ways to help my dad both emotionally and physically. The staff show compassion and understanding to my dad and the family. Particular attention is given to ensure fluids are taken on board and regularly encourage eating and drinking when my dad needs prompts. We are very grateful for their efforts

Based on a telephone consultation with hospital my mum was assessed as requiring Peacock unit - this was entirely incorrect. She's been placed in Linden Lea unit, in a lovely room, I'm still not sure this is the best place, time will tell.
The carers we've met have been responsive and very caring
but there are simply not enough carers in Linden Lea, this should be addressed to meet the needs of the people there - this is my biggest concern during the week my mum's been a resident. Activities look great but it appears that it's up to family to ensure my mum gets to participate.

The staff are very vigilant with his needs. Room is fantastic and the fact we can decorate and make it more personal for his stay within

Mum moved to Lornebank about 4 weeks ago from another care home. The reason she moved is that we were unhappy with the care being provided at her previous home. I have found that everyone is friendly and welcoming from the receptionist, domestic staff, and kitchen staff to the nursing staff.
She is
in the Livingstone unit which is a small unit with only 10 female residents and usually the same members of staff on duty which ensures consistency of care.
The home itself is bright, airy and very clean.
There are many activities taking place which she is encouraged to participate in.
She herself appears to be happy with her surroundings.
She is always clean and dry and appears well cared for.
A menu is put on the board daily.
All in all, I am very happy with the care being provided. The location is good for family visits and some shops and restaurants nearby if the weather is suitable for getting her out.
Would not hesitate to recommend this care home to others.

Reply from Rishi Sujeewon, Home Manager at Lornebank Care Centre

It was a daunting experience having to look for a suitable care home for my mother. But after visiting Lornebank Care Centre and being greeted by a staff member at the reception it was an easy choice. We visited two other homes, but they did not even come close to Lornebank. During our visit, all the
various parts of the centre were explained and we were advised as to which section mum would be best suited. All the staff were very cheerful and easy to engage with. It was a bit of a heartache taking her there and leaving her for the first day. But the staff were very reassuring that she would settle and they would keep an eye on her. So far she has only asked about three times "When am I going home". All the staff at Lornebank are first rate and we feel happy mum is with such caring professional people.

Lornebank was an easy choice for us when Mum's dementia became too difficult for us to cope with in the family home. We visited several care homes in the Hamilton area, and Lornebank felt right when we saw the facilities and spoke to the staff. Mum has been resident here now for around a year, and we're
very happy with the care and attention she's received during that time. Not only that, there are plenty of activities and events to keep her interactive and engaged with those around her.

Dad had a stay of just over 2 weeks at Lornebank to allow for a wet room to be fitted in his home. The manager was very helpful in arranging the stay and the team welcomed my dad and his family into the Peacock Wing. It was great being able to visit at any time and we even managed to celebrate my mum’s
birthday with my dad in his room. Dad was well taken care of and particularly enjoyed having the facilities on hand to have regular showers, supported by the staff team looking after him. My mum was treated very kindly by the staff and felt comfortable visiting every day and spending time with my dad. Unfortunately, the heating was stuck on high in my dad’s room and was still waiting to be fixed when we left, which made the room quite uncomfortably warm at times but staff were vigilant in opening windows for my dad when needed.

Lornebank has proven to be an excellent Care Home in which my Mother-in-law receives first-class care. The staff are attentive and caring. They are totally dedicated to providing the most professional care for all the residents. The rooms and communal areas are immaculately clean and tidy and the resident's
comfort is paramount. My wife and I visited a number of Care Homes before deciding on Lornebank and we are delighted with the standards within the home.

My mum has been residing in Lornebank since June 2023 and the level of care she receives is excellent. The communication from staff is also excellent. The daily menu always offers various meals. The home is spotlessly clean and has entertainment (singers) every month which both residents and their relatives
enjoy. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking to put a loved one into care.

My brother settled into Lornebank very quickly, following a traumatic stay at a previous care home. From the moment he arrived, his care was assessed and needs implemented quickly. Staff are very attentive to both the needs of the resident and family. The unit is calm, organised and happy, which gives
the family confidence. We have the freedom to visit as we need and never feel as if we are intruding on the routine of the unit.

My mum has just become a resident at Lornebank. She has been welcomed by the whole team from management to carers. The care is totally person-centred and all my mum's routines and preferences have been honoured.
The environment is bright, fresh and extremely clean. Mum's room has all her own furniture
and familiar things. The care team have created a homely space and friends and relatives are encouraged to visit at any time and are looked after with refreshment and feedback on Mum's progress.
Day room is modern and has “real chairs and couches” rather than the usual wipe-down plastic ones! With garden views and activities the residents are given opportunities to interact and enjoy social time together.
I very much look forward to Mum living life to the full, safe, cared for and nurtured by the wonderful staff at Lornebank. I am very grateful for the peace of mind this has given us as a family.

My uncle has recently moved into Lornebank Care Home and has since gained new friends, a lot of confidence, and in general appears to be a lot happier. We tried our hardest to keep him with us at home for as long as possible but as his general health continued to deteriorate, we as a family agreed that
he needed 24-hour nursing care. As a nurse myself I am aware of all of his care needs and every single one has been met. Straight away he was referred to the opticians, dentist, physiotherapist, and registered with a new GP. As a family we have not had any issues and always take note that the environment is clean and fresh-smelling on every visit. The staff are friendly and approachable and always happy to help. The manager was great when we came for a viewing and he was really supportive and answered all our questions. My uncle has put on weight since being admitted also which is reassuring to know that he is enjoying the meals. Lornebank has been a great choice for us knowing that he is safe.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Lornebank Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.741 for Lornebank Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.741

  • 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 Lornebank Care Centre 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:

    • 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
