  • Lisden Care Home, Kirriemuir
Lisden Nursing Home is located in a residential area on the edge of Kirriemuir. This beautiful, elegant listed Victorian house provides spacious accommodation and immaculately kept mature gardens. Its proximity to the town with a variety of places of interest, places of worship and local shopping, enables residents to remain part of the local community.

Lisden was the first home in the Group when it opened its doors to its first residents in 1992. The experienced and well trained staff (some of whom have been there since the home opened) continue to provide nursing care to a maximum of 25 residents. Accommodation at Lisden is provided in single rooms bar one double, all of which have en-suite facilities.

Adjacent to Lisden House is a new specialist dementia care unit. The new purpose built facility provides a warm and homely atmosphere for a maximum of 16 residents.

BCG is at the forefront of developing regional specialist care facilities for the growing number of residents affected by or living with various degrees of dementia in Scotland.

The care approach for residents in this group is to adopt a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to their care and welfare.

Review from L M (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Building pleasant but equipment in general in rooms could do with upgrading. New chairs etc visible downstairs but not given the same attention in rooms, where residents prefer to stay all day. Menus for residents require to be reviewed and also take cognisance of hot weather conditions and not serve
hot stews etc. They are repetitive by nature. Continuity of staff would be beneficial

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Lisden Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.958 for Lisden Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.958
  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 Lisden Care Home is based on 10 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
