My friend's son died abroad, very unexpectedly and she was devastated. The staff in Livingstone were wonderful to her and could not have taken better care of her. She was so well supported during this terrible time as she has been since she moved into Lornebank almost 2 years ago. The staff are also
very thoughtful to visitors. Her room is always lovely, clean and tidy. The buzzers were not working for quite some time! Only complaint.

The team that look after my mum are exceptional. In a very short space of time, they have built a close relationship with my mum, became familiar with her care needs and deliver her personal care with empathy and in an extremely effective manner that allows her to maintain her dignity. It is clear that
the role they play in caring for residents is one that goes well beyond it 'just being a job'. They treat residents in their care with love and respect, showing genuine affection and desire to make their lives as happy and fulfilling as they possibly can be.

My sister is content and settled in Lornebank Care Centre. The staff and management are kind and helpful. She cannot speak very well but always has a smile for the staff. The staff are attentive and make a fuss of the residents which builds a good bond between them.

Mum was resident in Livingstone Way at Lornebank for 4 years, passing away peacefully in February 2022. During that time the care she received was of the highest standard. Almost more than that, the family atmosphere created and the warmth and friendship to all of us, made mum's final years very happy
and contented.

The staff were excellent at helping my parents settle into the home in neighbouring rooms. They attended some of the outdoor entertainment in the gardens and enjoyed the music.
Sadly mum's conditions deteriorated and she passed away peacefully.
Everyone has supported and encouraged dad and they
all have a very good report with him.
Both parents needed help with mobility. Dad needs extra understanding due to his very limited eyesight and hearing. Happy to recommend Lornebank.

My mother seems quite at home in Linden Lea Unit. She is very well looked after and is always clean and tidy.
She regularly gets her hair done and carers style it in between cuts. Her room is cleaned every day, always tidy. She enjoys the meals especially breakfast.
Staff are always attentive, caring,
and kind and often go above and beyond in their unit. Staff have a good rapport with my mum and I would recommend Lornebank Care Home.

My mum recently came to live at Lornebank Care Centre in March 2021. I can say all the staff I have met are outstanding, from speaking on the phone to answering the door with such cheerfulness and happiness just makes me feel so warmly welcomed. Staff in the unit that my mum lives in very much sees
her as a unique person showing wonderful care, compassion and kindness towards her. Keep up the great work.

My dad has been in since January this year and every member of staff has been excellent they are all professional and friendly they make me feel included. It is spotless and modern. My dad and other residents are all treated with respect at all times. The staff were quick to pick up his likes and dislikes
and supported them from day one. My dad has flourished putting on weight, communicating better and less anxious about things. My nana was in a different private care home with one big TV room and one big kitchen for around 60 residents and sometimes it was wild, much like a high school environment with cliches and arguments but Lornebank is split into different sections which is so much better just the right amount of residents together allow social contact, if they want it, but not too many so no one is lost in the crowd. They do a lot of activities with the residents and post them on their website which helped me to see when I couldn't visit during the restrictions.

Reply from Daniel Jenks, Home Manager at Lornebank Care Centre

Hi Caroline, thank you very much for your kind words around the care home and the care your dad receives. I will share this with the staff today.

My dad moved into the Centre 19 months ago after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It was hard to accept by the whole family that my dad would not be coming home and he would spend the rest of his time there. On his arrival he was entered into the Peacock Unit, he was monitored for a couple of weeks
and it was agreed that he wasn't ready at that time so he went to Clydesdale and a few months later he was moved back.
He has settled now really well. All the staff from Managerial, Carers, Activities, Domestic and Kitchen staff are excellent they interact with all the residents and keep them smiling even when they have an off day. The Activities Co-ordinator is excellent with the residents especially when it is sing-song time and it is lovely to see them singing and dancing enjoying themselves I've joined in myself. My dad has settled in really well (in his eyes he is in hospital for respite) and I can shut my eyes at night and know he is safe.
I recommend the Care Centre.

I am happy with the overall care. The food could be better. More variety to suit the individual residents and their needs. The dealing with Covid 19 has been brilliant. So overall it is very good, although expensive.

My mother entered the care home 14 months ago. She is a resident in the newest unit which opened within the last 2 years. The unit is clean and tidy and the rooms are well furnished with an ensuite. I believe she receives care of a high standard. The staff, on the whole, seem pleasant and attentive
and my mother has developed a close relationship with a few. There seem to be a variety of activities organised for the residents. My mother found the food good for the first 6 months but has complained lately. It is not always easy to access the unit by telephone.

We, as a family, had to choose a care home for my 91-year-old mother in July during Covid following a hospital admission. I used these reviews and found them useful.
The care my mum has received has been great. She is a person, not just a number. The nurses try hard to communicate with family in this,
the hardest of times for patients, staff and family. This provided us with reassurance. It is never a bother to call and speak to them.
They try hard to find food she wants and monitored her closely.
I would not hesitate to recommend, it’s clean, modern with very caring staff who go the extra mile for their residents.

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.
