Review from Linda H (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

The care home is neat and tidy and clean. The staff are very easy to talk to and helpful. Great variety in meals and well prepared. The premises are very well ventilated with great views out to surrounding areas. Televisions are supplied in all bedrooms which is great for the elderly and those who are
bedridden.

My sister and extended family are really pleased with the care my mum receives in the home. We had a very worrying time with my mum's health before she moved into the home but my sister and I can both be happy in the knowledge that our mum is safe and happy. The staff are also a great support to my
sister and our family.

My mother was previously at another care home where she was quite unsettled. The staffing levels and professionalism of the carers at Lornebank have been first class. My mother has become much more settled and content.
I and my family have been very impressed with the staff in that they always find
time to talk and explain about my mother's health and well being.

At Lornebank the staff are all friendly, caring and very professional in their care. My mother is very well cared for and has built up good relationships with the staff (certain members) of staff especially. The rooms in the home are very clean and comfortable for my mother's needs.

I am more than happy with the care and attention that my Mum receives in Lornebank Care Centre. The staff are very attentive to her needs and even considering my Mum's needs, she feels very comfortable and relaxed with them. Any problems that arise with my Mum have always been dealt with almost immediately
and within a level of efficiency that could not be excelled anywhere else. If I have any negatives it would be the pettiness of other visitors but that is beyond the control of the staff.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My husband was only in the home for five weeks and in his bed all the time. After three weeks it was purely palliative care he needed and every one of the staff couldn't have been more caring, thoughtful and everything they did was done with such love and care.
They were also very caring to myself
and my three daughters. They were so pleasant and good at what they could do for my husband.
Thank you to all the staff.

Review from Isobel D (Sister of Resident) published on 7 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My sister was a resident in Lornebank for 6.5 years. The first 4.5 years were satisfactory as she was able to get herself to the toilet etc. and needed minimal care and attention. Owing to the restrictions on the review policy, I am limited to what I can say in my review, suffice to say my sister was
given a 28-day notice to leave Lornebank as my expectation to care for her was too high.

I’ve been a volunteer here for around six months and only have great things to say about Lornebank. The staff are extremely kind and attentive to the residents’ needs at all times. The residents have lots of company and are kept busy with various activities, from fun quizzes to their favourite films.
The facilities themselves are spotless and of a high quality. Can’t think of a fault and my experience has been brilliant so far.

My father has been a resident from September 2017. He has a lovely room. His toilet is a wet room which is perfect for him.
Meals are cooked on the premises and are extremely good.
All staff members provide a good quality of care.
Relatives can come and go at any time but are requested to try to
avoid meal times. My uncle became a resident two weeks ago.

Lornebank is currently under a refurbishment programme and what they have done so far is looking good. Other areas are tired and will hopefully be upgraded too. There have been several changes in personnel (Management) which is not so good. Sometimes I feel they are maybe understaffed. The staff are
friendly but I have felt at times they have gone on the defensive if concerns have been raised. Overall I think the care is satisfactory.

Very friendly staff, always helpful from the management to the carers to the caretaker.


The only issue I may have is my mum could be taken to the toilet more often as she is found to be wet too often, and then her chair is just given a wipe down rather than completely sanitised.

My room recently got decorated and a new bathroom which I really like it's nice and cosy, I sometimes like
to spend time in my room.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.691)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.691) out of 10 for Lornebank Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.691 for Lornebank Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.691
  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 Lornebank Care Centre is based on 16 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 16 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: 2023

To share a bit about me, I have 25 years of experience in the health and social care sector, which has provided me with the necessary grounding and knowledge to embark on this new and exciting journey at Lornebank Care Centre. I began my career as a nurse in Mauritius and continued in this role when I moved to the UK in 2005. I have since become a Care Home Manager in 2013, have held an Operational Manager role – overseeing two separate care businesses – and have completed a degree in Management.
Ensuring the consistent provision of the highest quality care and support possible to residents, staff and relatives is my priority, and I very much look forward to the next chapter of my career here at Lornebank Care Centre.
