Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a service user from 11th to 25th April, and I have found the nursing staff most helpful, patient and caring at all times. The food has been excellent and plenty of it and plenty of variety.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff were very good. They interacted with my mother as much as possible. She was cared for very well, made sure she was always clean and dressed for the day. The nurses were also particularly attentive to her condition and made sure she took her medication.

I could stay here longer.

Review from Derek H (Son of Resident) published on 8 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident at Cairnie Lodge for eleven years. She was a much loved and respected resident. Every member of staff took the time to speak to her even though my mother couldn't answer back. I couldn't fault anyone or anything. From the domestic staff who would come in and have a good chat.
The nurses are incredible and the carers don't get the recognition they clearly deserve. They go beyond their duties and would do anything to help. I will forever be grateful for the love and care given to my mother.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for Cairnie Lodge Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.626 for Cairnie Lodge Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.626
  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 Cairnie Lodge Care Centre is based on 23 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 23 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.
