The catering team at Fullarton understands the nutritional needs of older people and creates delicious meals to ensure a lovely dining experience for all residents and visitors. The home also boasts a wide range of popular dining areas that provide a welcoming space to enjoy meals with fellow residents, or family and friends.

The dedicated and professional care team at Fullarton likes to learn about each resident’s hobbies and interests to design a comprehensive activity programme, supporting those living in the home to enjoy the things they love most. From building relationships with neighbours in local community groups and schools, to arranging sightseeing trips in the local area, at Fullarton, the team encourages residents to take an active role in the Irvine community.

From care assistants and nurses, to wellbeing coordinators and chefs, each and every member of the professional care team is there to assist you or your loved one in settling into the home.

I write this on behalf of my wife, who has stayed here for the past 6 weeks. Overall, I have found the staff and facilities excellent, always understanding patients' needs. I appreciate that they, at times, don't have an easy job. Everything is run very professionally. Cleanliness - spotless

any problem with the care within the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother's care has been exemplary in all aspects at the Fullarton Care home. After a steep decline in her health, a care home became the only viable option. Not only has Fullarton dealt with her needs, but it's also great to see a marked recovery in her overall health and well-being. The home is a
positive environment; the staff are caring and helpful, and it's great to see my mum becoming part of the community there.

Home staff are genuine in their care for father in a very difficult stage of life. Can never be excellent in a lot of categories as you need more staff. Could do with painting to to keep property fresh. Although father refuses to eat food it looks excellent. The staff cooperate well together and seem
well managed.

My mother-in-law, who is now 100, has had full care with friendly staff who keep the family up to date with all that is happening. They have patience when needed and carry out all of their duties to a high standard. When visiting, always have time for us too with updates as to how she is doing.

My mother-in-law had a fall and lay on the floor for eight house waiting for an ambulance. During these hours, she had at least one carer at her side keeping her calm and immobile. The dedication that day for her was second to none.

Review from Fiona G (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Fullarton Care Home since March 2023. We were both very anxious about her moving into a care home but every member of staff has made my mum and me feel very welcome and helped her settle in quickly.
I visited several care homes before we settled on Fullarton as we were
impressed with the facilities and the overall feeling of the home where it is clean, bright and has a friendly and calm atmosphere whenever I visit.
The staff are exceptional throughout Fullarton, showing a high level of professionalism and care for every resident and their families while being friendly and kind. My mum loves the activities which are planned and prepared throughout the week from the entertainers visiting to gardening and going for trips in the minibus (apparently the banter is great and they bring cake)!
We were visiting relatives today where my mum was full of praise for her new home, the staff and the food.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband came to Fullarton on 24th July 2022. He has quite advanced dementia. I was exceptionally nervous and distressed at the thought of him going into care. He has been welcomed into his new home by all the staff team and seems to be setting down well. I feel a great sense of relief because he
is now in a safe place. I am so grateful to all the staff team for the outstanding support they consistently give to my husband. Everyone I have come into contact with has been very kind but also professional. They inspire confidence.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.329)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.329) out of 10 for Fullarton Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.718 for Fullarton Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.718
  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 Fullarton Care Home is based on 11 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.611
  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.
