Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was in Lunan Court for a year before he passed away in December 2018. The care that my dad received from the staff was excellent he was treated with dignity at all times. The support we received from the staff during the difficult times was excellent. I would most likely recommend Lunan Court.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has only been in Lunan Court for 6 weeks but in that short time, the management and staff, have given me great comfort as our lives have been turned upside down and having no family of our own, we have had to rely on my niece for help. My husband and I have been married for 58 years, so this
upset me deeply but I am quite happy at the end of each day, he is getting all the TLC in the world.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As there was a large exchange of staff this year, it has sometimes been difficult to see so many new staff who were needing training. The management staff have been with the care home for some years and is very capable and professional at all times. My mum has been in this home for 7 years and mostly
I have been very happy with the care. Some of the new ones are caring and attentive and I'm sure they will be trained up to a very high standard.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Found accommodation very clean. Meal very good. Excellent entertainment. Felt that a little explanation on either partner/relatives condition should maybe help understand what to expect in the future. My brother-in-law had no knowledge what dementia is. Maybe some books could have helped him understand.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Lunan Court Care Home

Thank you for your review; we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. At HC-One we encourage relatives to communicate with our staff in an open and transparent way and we are more than happy to offer support where we can to ensure our Residents receive the best and kindest care available. At Lunan Court we maintain an open door policy to ensure staff, family, Residents and relatives feel able to communicate any concerns they may have. Relatives are invited to engage in the care planning procedure offering input on a monthly basis as a minimum. This is followed up by a six weekly review where the full care package is reviewed with relatives, care managers and the nursing team. We also run monthly Managers surgeries and relatives meetings where any concerns can be discussed. Within the Home we have a relative’s communication board which provides information from the NHS regarding dementia care and several information leaflets that may also be beneficial to our Residents and visitors.

My parents are residents in Lunan Court Care Home. I find the staff to be very caring, helpful and kind. I feel confident with the care provided and I am kept informed of any issues regularly. The communication between the home and families is very good.
The activities and events are appropriate and
engage the residents. Lunan Court provides the care I am very happy with, for my parents.

The care and attention my mother received in the short time she was in the home (6 days) was excellent. Friendly staff. I wish she was there long before she died to get the benefit of the facilities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum went to Lunan Court ten years ago, over that time she had deteriorated in health passing away last month.
I have often been told of some care homes not being the best but I can assure you I could find no faults with Lunan Court.
The building and interior are both kept to a high standard. The
food was always fresh and plentiful.
The staff - no words describe how well they looked after my mum and I am ever so grateful for that.
It's a well-managed home with high-quality staff who care about the residents every minute.

We moved my mother from another care home provider after she had a fall and broken her hip. The difference was chalk and cheese. Lunan Court Care Home provided a friendly welcoming service from day one. The staff could not have been nicer or more caring with the residents. There are activities for residents
as well as occasional events that involve both residents and relatives. Residents are always addressed with their names and treated with care and respect.

Lunan Court is a well-run care home with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. My late mother was well cared for here for 5 and a half years, during which time she was able to enjoy her final years in spite of her illness. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to others.

Making the decision to put my husband in care was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but each time I visit I know I made the right choice when I chose Lunan Court. The care and kindness he gets is excellent and I can't praise the staff enough.

My wife was a resident at Lunan Court for nearly 4 years, sadly she passed away last year. During her stay I began to see the staff at Lunan Court like family. As such, I started to volunteer to help out any way I could and since my wife passed I continue to help out.
The main reason for continuing
to volunteer is the staff are totally wonderful and supportive people who have helped me a great deal with the worst period of my life.

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.
