Review from David L (Son of Resident) published on 27 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Some staff are rude and the tail wags the dog at this care home as some carers with no medical training seem to think they know better than the manager. The manager is also devious and will suppress complaints at every opportunity.
Reply from Jasmine James Ali, Manager at Benvie Care Home

Benvie Care Home operates a zero tolerance policy. As an employer, it has a duty of care for the health and safety of its staff and the service users. It also has a responsibility to provide a safe and secure working environment for staff. In this respect, all relatives and visitors to the home are expected to behave in an appropriate and acceptable manner. Threatening our staff members will not be tolerated.
If you would like to contact the care home, we can address and resolve your views in a considerate way. Thank you for your feedback David.

My mother was admitted from the hospital where she was unsettled, paranoid and tried to escape/leave the ward on three occasions. Since being admitted to Benvie she has settled into the home and is back to her normal self. This is due to the staff and very supportive management at Benvie.

We, as a family, are grateful and thankful for the love, care and attention shown to our parent. Our family was not keen on the idea of a care home, but this has definitely been the best choice for our parent (and family). Many thanks to Benvie Care Home - very pleased with all aspects.

Review from Pamela G (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been a resident in this care facility for over 7 years and I can honestly say that it has been the best decision made to ensure that she has had the care needed with regards to her illness. Every single member of staff knows each and every residents name and also the names of the relatives.
You know just by talking to the staff how much they enjoy their work and that shines through when you watch them going about their duties and they always take time out when you visit to tell you what your relative has been doing. There are always activities going on for the residents and if family members wish to join in they are made to feel very welcome. The care home manager also holds meetings on a regular basis with relatives so that anything can be discussed and dealt with although having said that you can talk to anyone while you visit and it will be passed to the manager forthwith.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.740) out of 10 for Benvie Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.457 for Benvie Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.457
  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 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Benvie Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583
  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.
