The majority of staff are kind and helpful. Unfortunately, with such a busy and quite large home, it is not always easy to find a member of the caring team.

I would highly recommend Finaven Court to anyone looking for care for a loved one It is comfortable, warm and friendly, and the home definitely gives off the feeling of a 'Home from Home'! The care given by all the staff is exceptional and standards are always high in every way and nothing is ever too
much trouble for the staff at Finavon Court. Leaving my Wife in the care of a home has definitely been made less distressing with the support and care of Finavon Court staff.

Overall the care of my husband has been very good. The staff do try very hard to dress him as I wish. Only on rare occasions do I have to comment on this.
The staff are always courteous and helpful and on observation, all residents are treated the same.
The atmosphere is relaxed and staff work in
a calm and kind way. The only problem I have found is with clothing particularly with underwear, nightwear, socks/slippers i.e the smaller items and accessories. ( my family think this is not important).

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Care Advisor at Finavon Court Care Home

Thank you very much for taking the time to make such kind comments about the care and the staff at Finavon Court. We are very sorry that you have had any cause to raise concerns about belongings and we will monitor this closely. Please do not hesitate to raise any issues immediately with the Home Manager so she can resolve right away.

My daughter stayed for 2 weeks in September for respite. She appeared to really enjoy her stay and when we phoned the care home for updates we were given concise and clear information on how she was doing. This made a difference in easing our minds that there were no issues while she was there.

My father has been in Respite Care frequently over the last 18 months, the majority of the respite being at Finavon Court.
The staff are friendly, helpful and always pleasant. As a visitor, I am always treated with respect and helped with any queries or questions I have surrounding my father during
his stays.
I think it helped us as a family that my mother had also been a resident in Finavon Court for 5 years prior to her death last year so the home itself was very familiar to us and my father, which made respite care in Finavon Court for my father a bit easier.

My sister has recently moved into Finavon. She seems very happy - she's included in activities that take place if she wishes to do so.
Her clothes match well, her overall appearance is very good as she requires assistance.
She is always asked what choice of meal she would like and is given a cup of
tea or coffee when requested. She does enjoy her cuppie and biscuits.
Staff are very patient with her as she can be challenging at times. I feel satisfied with her care and have no concerns at all.

My father came in to Finavon Court at the beginning of December. His care has been outstanding from all aspects. The care my father receives is of a very high standard. With staff being very knowledgeable about the type of care each resident needs. There is nothing that they cannot see to, no matter
how little or big. The food is fabulous and the home is very welcoming. The staff are there because they want to be and not because they have to be. The atmosphere is very pleasant and they have lovely surroundings, all our family are delighted with my father's care which is all to do with the manager. Highly recommend the home.

My brother entered Finavon January 2016 but due to the distance involved, I was unable to visit until November 2016. Until then I had been on the phone regularly and always found anyone at Finavon answering the phone to be extremely pleasant and more than helpful on every occasion no matter what time
I called. I was finally able to pay a short visit in November and I cannot thank the staff enough for the welcome I received and the attention I was given, nothing was too much trouble. I was able to visit various parts of the home and everything was spotless. Having had previous experience of a care home with my dad, Finavon was far, far superior. I would have no hesitation in recommending Finavon Court to anyone requiring this specialist type of care.

The visitor reception room was staffed by a very personable lady who very quickly made arrangements for my brother to meet my wife and I in a private room. Tea and cakes were provided and this initial experience set the tone for the visit. The manageress took time out to discuss the current situation
regarding my brother and provided me with relevant information about contacting his power of attorney. We had visited twice previously and am certain that the quality of the rooms, both private and public were first class. Staff who we have been in contact with have impressed us greatly.

On arrival I am always greeted by a cheery welcoming administrator. Mum is kept clean and tidy and is always happy which reflects her contentment. I visit regularly and care is consistently good and with the refurbishment the floor looks very welcoming. If I've any concerns, I raise them with floor
staff in confidence that it will be dealt with. Mum is clearly popular with the staff and relaxed and happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Finavon Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.801 for Finavon Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.801

  • b) 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 Finavon Court Care Home is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
