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.

I have been in Lornebank now for over a year, so far I have enjoyed it I have settled in well. I enjoy the activities especially the quizzes, the staff are really nice, very helping and friendly. 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.

My wife seems to have settled in really well, she always seems happy and content, her appetite seems healthy again. She is integrating well with her fellow residents, she also responds to her nurses and carers. There has been a marked improvement in her overall well being since she has left the hospital.

Review from Alison M (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been very well cared for at Lornebank Care Home. Over the past two years, any problems re her health/mobility have been quickly and professionally dealt with. Recently her health suddenly deteriorated but the staff called for her GP who admitted her to hospital. The doctors started her
on an IV and also antibiotics, but after a few days it was found she had developed a problem with her heart rhythm and after treatment, she recovered woke up and started to eat again.
On return to the home and she was warmly welcomed back by everyone who cared for her. She is happy to take part in the many activities and recently won a price at the bingo. Although my mother can be difficult at times I would be very happy to recommend this home to anyone looking for a good home for their relative or friend. She is
looking forward to her 90th birthday in June.

My wife who has dementia has been in care since December 2015, has received the best of care possible.
Her mobility has improved and her nature is still joyous.
I find the staff very helpful and they keep me informed of any illnesses that require medical attention.

I have found the staff to provide excellent care to all residents. I myself find the staff try to make the residents as comfortable and at ease while still giving them the dignity and respect they deserve. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. The staff and residents are like one big happy
family and treat everyone on an equal par.

This is the first experience with a family member in a care home. At first, I wasn't sure if it was the best place for my aunt's care. But as time went on and I got to know the carers and the set up of the place I realised it was a good place for her to be. She is now settled in and liking the place.

Review from Tom S (Nephew of Resident) published on 21 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This team that the current care provider has improved immensely, the liars have been dismissed and as we are the only carers for my Aunt who has lived there for the last 4.5 years and we live some 250 miles away in Chester.
We travel normally every 6/8 weeks to visit, by train and can honestly say
that the staff are truthful about her condition and keep us well informed.
The owners are now a delight & the changes are so positive.
The only negative is that the phone lines are a nightmare to get through to someone that has to get a call handed to her as she cannot go to a phone and requires it to be brought to her. This excuse has gone on from day one and is rectifiable should they really desire to apply themselves.
Reply from Nisha Soman, Manager at Lornebank Care CentreThank you for your review and choosing Lornebank Care centre for your mum. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the support from team at Lornebank. We will pass your concerns regarding the telephone system to our IT department for a better solution.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.313)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.313) 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.702 for Lornebank Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.702
  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 4.611 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lornebank Care Centre is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.811
  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.

Jane Aitken

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2026

I recently joined Hudson Healthcare in May 2026, previously having worked across the NHS and private sector, covering roles such as general manager, senior general manager and recently regional director. I qualified as a nurse in 2006 and achieved my degree in nursing at Stirling University. Fifteen years of management experience have allowed me to bring experience that I am sure will benefit resident outcomes and make Lornebank a great home choice for the residents.


I am fortunate to have two grown-up children and four grandsons who live close by to me. I share my home with my partner and Baillie, who is my loveable boy, pet shih tzu.


Swimming and walking are how I enjoy my free time, alongside reading the odd Danielle Steele novel.
