We are all very happy with the care dad is getting in Craigieknowes. Everyone is so friendly and always happy to help. All dad's complex needs are met and he is happy and settled here.
It's very clean and the meals are excellent as well.

My beloved Nana has been a resident at Craigieknowes care home for some time now, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding level of care she receives. I wholeheartedly recommend Craigieknowes Care Home to anyone seeking exceptional care for their loved ones. The staff's kindness,

As a former care home manager, I found Craigieknowes Care Home to be excellent in all aspects.
The staff who cared for me directly were warm, friendly and well trained. I felt respected and safe and saw that they treated other residents in the same manner.
I spent ten days there on respite and my
accommodation was as good as I could have hoped.
The manager has developed a strong care team and I enjoyed watching how she operates.
The only minor issue I had was the quality of the coffee in that administrator's room. I will rectify this on a future visit.
Congratulations and my warm thanks to all at Craigieknowes.

Mum has now been here for 3 yrs and is totally settled in. Her relationship with staff and management is exceptional and she feels very comfortable staying here.
Mum enjoys the interaction with other residents and loves getting the opportunity to get out and about when she can.

The staff at Craigieknowes Care Home have been a great support to my mum (and to me for that matter) since she was admitted.
Although I hate it when I have to say goodbye after my visits, I know she is in good hands and it is the safest place for her.
The staff organise lots of activities, that my
mum can take part in, if she wants and there are regular updates on social media of them all enjoying themselves.
There seems to be a lot of choice in all her meals, and her room is always clean and tidy.
If ever I have any questions, the staff are happy to explain, no matter how long it takes to explain.
In the beginning, I was very upset about putting my mum into a nursing home, but since then, I now realise this is the best, and safest, place for her to be and I am very thankful to all the staff for their constant supervision of my mum.

Mum has been in Craigieknowes Care Home for over a year and I feel very lucky that she has gained a second family who takes such care of her every day. The home is clean, bright and welcoming and every member of staff stops for a chat with both Mum and myself anytime we meet them. I feel all the staff
know Mum well and the affection they have for her is evident in all the little things they do to meet her individual needs and preferences. The atmosphere is calming and Mum loves the pets who bring her much amusement and fun. There are regular activities available and although Mum doesn’t always take part, the staff go out of their way to find her something she will enjoy and we both like a wee tea party for a special occasion! I cannot thank the manager and her staff enough for the care they give Mum every day.

My mum was a resident at Craigieknowes Care home for five years and seven months and we can't thank all the staff and management for all the love, care and attention that my mum received in that time. The home always had lots of activities for all the residents to join in if they wished to. As a family,
we were extremely happy with all that the home did for Mum and for us as relatives. Great teamwork. 100% the best.
Thanks so much again.

Dad has been a resident since the end of April.
The staff are very friendly and supportive of both Dad in the home and also visiting family.
Dad has settled in well and says he is happy, well cared for and well-fed.
The activities are varied and residents are encouraged to take part but not forced,
these are adapted depending on abilities.
The home is clean and tidy, there is not a musty smell when you walk in as there was in other homes we visited.
There is always a good atmosphere.
The home is of medium capacity compared to others in the area and fully staffed who ensure that the residents know who they are and endeavour to make it a home-from-home atmosphere.

I would like to thank all members of staff for the care and love you gave my mum. In the five and a half years she was at Craigieknowes Care Home she was looked after to the highest standards it should be for a loved member of anybodys. The staff are a credit to the care system.

It's my partner's granny that is in the home. I have been a few time's to visit and all the staff and management are very lovely and friendly towards us and will always take time to have a chat with us. The home is very clean and tidy.
From all the pictures that we also see on the Facebook page, they
also keep the residents busy with lots of different activities daily.

Since my aunt moved into Craigieknowes Care Home about one year ago I have found the staff and management have been very professional, approachable and extremely, caring and helpful to the needs of my aunt and myself.
There are always plenty of activities that suit all the residents, which is beneficial
to my aunt and others and where the staff go out of their way for everyone to join in and enjoy themselves.
I would definitely recommend the care home for their high standard of care and attention to all the residents.

When I go to visit my granny, from arrival at the front door, you are greeted by lovely staff who always have time to have a chat and tell me how my granny is doing. The home meets the care and attention that she (Granny) so much deserves. They always put the resident in 1st place for care and all
activities that they arrange for the on-site and trips out. My Granny loves the nail bar room that they now have as she enjoys getting her Nails painted. She is very settled at Craigieknows. The manager and all her team do a brilliant job.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.264)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.264) out of 10 for Craigieknowes Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.917 for Craigieknowes Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.347 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Craigieknowes Care Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.222

  • 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.
