I want to take this opportunity to thank the amazing night nurse & her team for the exceptional care my husband received when he became unwell.
I received a phone call to say that he was unwell & waiting on an ambulance.
The nurse was great. So calm, caring, and reassuring. I really felt that
she genuinely cared.
He was admitted to the hospital and spent 4 days there. I brought him back to Cumbrae Lodge today after he was discharged.
Again the welcome he got was lovely.
The lovely carers got him settled back in.
My husband said he was happy to be back among his carers & Nurses in Islay.
He has settled back in well. His room was all cosy & warm, water all in place for his return.
Thank you all again. You are a great bunch who do an amazing Job of caring from the heart. I will sleep well knowing he's back in your care.
Reply from Lee gove, Home Manager at Cumbrae Lodge Care HomeCan i respond by saying that this heart warming review is much appreciated. I am glad that you feel that your husband is well cared for. We always aim to involve relatives in all care aspects as we feel that Cumbrae Lodge is their home too.

My mum has lived in Cumbrae Lodge for just over a year. The unit set up is good for someone with dementia. Care home staff, and particularly staff on the unit, have been excellent. The home has fully met our expectations and my mum is significantly happier and more relaxed than she had been before moving
in.

Thank you again.

Mum has only been in Cumbrae Lodge for 4 weeks from a long stay in hospital, but what a difference they have made ! From bed bound + completely dependant, mum is up in day room every day, having walked with support + showing a massive increase in independant eating+ drinking. Staff have shown mum
+ myself such kindness, + given me great confidence in their care in the way they have quickly picked up on mums needs + habits, ( mum is mostly non verbal) .

My husband was a resident of Cumbrae Lodge Care Home for a year ending 2023. His care was exemplary. The staff were absolutely brilliant so caring, they did everything they could to make his time so caring, I cannot fault anything. Cumbrae Lodge is fantastic they supported me so much, it was like a
home from home. They always made me welcome, in fact I still visit twice a week because they made me feel so welcome. Sadly I have no family local, so the manager and staff are a lifeline.

Cumbrae Lodge is a marvellous care home. From entering the building you are very aware of the friendly, happy atmosphere. Everyone you pass says hello and is friendly and welcoming. The staff caring for the residents know them all very well and all their little ways. They keep you fully up to date with
how my Dad has been and always seem to enjoy friendly chats with everyone in the room. The care home is always spotless and the bedrooms are cosy and inviting. There always seems to be loads of activities for the residents to take part in and enjoy. There are lovely gardens to enjoy when the weather is good. The manager is friendly and always has time for a chat and answers any questions I may have. The laundry, housekeeping and kitchen staff all do a great job. The happy atmosphere is all over the care home and really does make it a home from home.

It’s paramount to me that my mum receives love and respect and care, and I feel she gets this in Cumbrae Lodge. I have a very good relationship with carers and management and we have a good understanding. I find everyone approachable and helpful in all aspects. The activity team are absolutely fabulous
and goes beyond their jobs, the entertainment is really good and take great time to involve, invite and inform the families of all their activities and events. We are all made most welcome and thoroughly enjoy these events.

My husband has been a resident in Cumbrae Lodge Care Home since September 2019. His care is second to none. I know he is safe and so well looked after by the dedicated staff, and that helps me a lot. It's so easy to keep in touch, and nothing is too much trouble. The Facebook page is wonderful and really
keeps you in touch with what's going on, and it's great to see everyone having a good time. It's lovely to see all the smiling faces. I'm so grateful to all the staff for the way they make the residents feel special.

Having been in the shielding group since March 2020 I had not seen my husband so was very concerned, as his initial treatment was atrocious. A change of management, along with some staff has made such a difference. I am able to speak to him by phone now and even had a face to face visit - 2m distance
- he looked very well, happy, content. The staff nurse (new) and carer workers are doing a great job now.

My husband has been in Cumbrae Lodge now for some years and I have never had cause to worry about any aspect of his provision.
The surroundings are lovely, warm and inviting and the decor is kept spotless and modern.
Staff are angels - every one of them and they are always so friendly, welcoming
and informative.
It is sad that my husband could no longer be cared for at home but I could not have asked for a better alternative.
I would give Cumbrae Lodge the highest accolade and have no hesitation in saying it has to be one of the best!
Well done everyone and a massive thank you from my daughter and me.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for Cumbrae Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.961 for Cumbrae Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.961
  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 4.658 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cumbrae Lodge Care Home is based on 13 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 + 0.025 = 3.825
    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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.833
  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.
