During COVID crisis Lunan Court staff have gone above and beyond to make sure all regulations were adhered to. Results show there has been very little infection at the home. Now that we are able to visit more freely precautions are still in place. All staff have been under a terrible strain but everyone
I have had contact with have been so caring and determined to keep standards high. Somehow we all manage to have a laugh with my mother-in-law to keep spirits up.

Due to COVID it's hard to judge but under the circumstances, staff have worked hard at making sure visiting goes to plan and are very friendly and welcoming. Also, put lots of photos with activities carried out. Overall as far as I can see, doing a great job.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My husband went into a care home to give me a rest and to see how it went. It has now been nearly 6 months where I have been trying to get him home which is what he wants and I am power of attorney. I spoke to the doctor who is attending him, he said it's up to the social worker to arrange. I have looked
after my husband for 13 years with dementia. I would even like him for the weekend to see how he would manage. I hope you can sort this problem out, only once I have had him out. I have never seen the rooms or the place since my husband was taken in.
Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Lunan Court Care Home

Thank you very much for your feedback, we appreciate how difficult the past year has been with relatives not being allowed to visit their loved ones in our care homes. As the restrictions have relaxed we are now delighted to be supporting both indoor and outdoor visits. We can understand your desire to have your husband at home and we will work with the local authority to support you with this request.

I have recently started indoor visits again to see my Dad. The recent situation of COVID-19 guidelines have limited face to face contact however Lunan Court staff have found other ways of communication and have always assured me I am up to date with my Dad's care and welfare. Well done to all the staff
at Lunan Court Care Home.

I have found the staff to be very helpful and open when asking questions. They seem to be very caring, both to the residents and visitors, and have patience when dealing with both. The premises are kept scrupulously clean and I consider my husband to be well cared for. It is run in a professional, but
caring way.

My father recently passed away and the staff were very professional and kept us updated during this time. We were allowed in to visit him which meant a lot as hasn't been in the home since March. Staff popping into his room regularly to check on him, ask if we needed cup of coffee etc.

My father was in this care home for 5years and I can honestly say that he loved it. Whenever I visit him it was a pleasant experience for myself. The staff at Lunan Court are lovely and always there to help. My father passed away at the start of December and the home couldn’t have helped myself and
sister anymore over the distress of losing a loved one, I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend this home very highly.

I could not get a better care home than this for my parents. Staff and colleagues are so friendly, patient and very helpful. Caring for our loved ones is no trouble. They go above and beyond, even asking how I am doing all the time, so considerate for all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
While my grandfather was only in Lunan Court for a short time, I was very impressed with the care he received. All the staff were very kind and professional and encouraged my grandpa to sit in the social area when he was up to it. As he had lived alone for many years, this was lovely to see. I was also
impressed with how the staff always made an effort to keep us up to date with how he was doing, which was very reassuring.
During his end of life care, it was clear to see that they were doing all they could to make him comfortable and treated him with dignity at all times, while also updating us on any changes. I was continuously impressed with Lunan Court and would highly recommend it.

My mother was here from August 2018 until her death in March 2019. We felt that all the staff were truly caring and kind and we were always warmly welcomed when we came to visit. We always enjoyed the musical afternoons and the Sunday services as did my mother. She particularly remembered her trips
to the museum. What I would like to emphasise most is the loving and kind care she received from every member of staff.

Mother was very well looked after at Lunan Court during the last fourteen months of her life. She had a very nice room into which she brought her own reclining chair, large TV and several pictures and ornaments from home. The staff - carers and nurses - were very attentive and kind and the food was
of a high standard. Staff were all very approachable. The public areas - lounge and dining - had recently been decorated, new furniture installed which was arranged in small groups to provide a more intimate atmosphere and allowing visitors some privacy with their relatives.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Lunan Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.833 for Lunan Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.833
  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 Lunan Court 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 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
