Very happy with the care of my husband. He hasn't been here very long, but since he has arrived we have seen a great improvement in his demeanour and general well being. Well done all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad is very much more contented since coming to Lornebank. The staff are very approachable and caring. He is always clean and obviously being well cared for. My Mum is 84 and has previously been concerned and worried about his care, but since moving here in November she and my sister, plus myself,
are a bit more content in the knowledge that he is safe.

Review from L G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Carers have made the experience so much easier, Nanna is treated like a person rather than a number. They really listen to her needs and help with our concerns. I have spoken to the staff to ask if my nanna can have a room with toilet facilities. There is an amazing atmosphere when entertainers come
in and would be great to see this often. Staff really take the time to make sure my nanna's needs are met. Food is really good my nanna eats most of it.

I always find the staff friendly and attentive, the facilities are very clean and tidy. I have seen a big difference in my sister-in-laws appearance and alertness, in other words due to the care and support I see a big difference in a good way in her overall appearance.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Think this home is superb, staff are very attentive and caring. They have good rapport with residents. There is activities every day and celebrations for dates in the calendar. They raise money for residents comfort fund which allows for outside entertainment. Only bugbear is Livingstone only staffed
with two at any shift which I feel is just inadequate.

I visit my aunt on a weekly basis and have always found the environment within the home to be very clean, free from hazards, no vile smells, warm and welcoming.
Staff are very approachable, keep me informed of my aunts health issues and needs and perform their duties to a high standard of professionalism.
There
are very regular activities provided for the residents and the activities are wide ranging and are planned after consulting the residents wishes, professional entertainers are hired to ensure quality entertainment at all times.

Staff are always friendly and obliging if you make a request if they can't help then they find someone that can. They also use your name when talking to you thus making a more relaxed atmosphere.

Staff are very friendly and always on hand to help my gran. My gran regularly says she likes it here. My gran is always encouraged to eat her food, which is often something that she need as she will say she's not hungry. My grans health always seems to be something which all staff are aware off.

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.

Rishi Sujeewon

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.
