Review from Maureen J (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having my mum go into end of life care was a hard choice but seeing her blossom with the loving care/attention she received from all levels of staff at the home I feel strongly extended her life. Both in care and social aspects. She was well informed and encouraged to join in the many social aspects.
All staff levels spending time with her as she loved to chat. Her eating improved greatly with the high nutritious meals provided and choice always given. The laundry/handyman/cleaner kept her personal items/room extremely clean ect. When dad became frail with dementia Ochil was our first choice again. He really blossomed with the interaction of all staff within home. He really enjoyed outings ect. As his dementia deteriorated all staff were extremely caring and understanding of his needs and demands. Mum and Dad spent precious time together in a safe/caring/loving home. I was kept well informed via all staff re thei welfare. The whole staff team work extremely hard making it very welcoming.

Many thanks, Maureen for your lovely review. It was our pleasure to care for your Mum and Dad and was lovely they could be together again here after a time apart. Thank you again.

During this difficult time when it is not possible to make visits, Ochil has kept me up to date and organised Facetime sessions so that my elderly father can be reassured that my mother is still doing fine.
My father resides near the care home, and previously visited her every day, so it was quite
a difficult time, especially initially to explain why he could no longer visit.
The Ochil staff have been fantastic in extending support to him too as I live around 40-miles away. This has not only been of great value to my father but also me knowing that he is being checked on periodically. Especially so as he is not the resident and there was no bonus whatsoever for them to do this.
I am comforted knowing that my mother is being well looked after, especially in this current situation and would not hesitate to recommend Ochil as a place where your relative could reside comfortably and reliably.

Ochil Care Home has been brilliant with my gran who has vascular dementia and other medical problems. They closed down two weeks before Covid-19 just as all was on lockdown and in eleven weeks Ochil Care Home has had no Covid-19, which is amazing. I speak to my gran every few days on the phone. She
is happy and so content. Plus yesterday in the post I got a lovely knitted heart from the staff at Ochil Care Home, thanking us for all our understanding in this time of extreme difficulties and not being able to visit. I hope the Ochil Care Home manager and all the staff get some kind of award for everything they have done as they have kept all their residents and staff free of this virus and I think this is amazing. Thank you Ochil Care Home.

My mother was recovering from a fall in hospital for a few months, but she required proper looking after, so we visited Ochil Home and it seemed to meet Mum's needs. She is given a lot of help when required and the staff meet all her needs. They all go out of their way for her.

Review from Muriel F (Friend of Resident) published on 2 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Have recently been visiting a good friend who has had to go into care. The lady had spent some time in hospital and then a short spell in a different care home. Since arriving at Ochil, my friend has had nothing but good things to say about the place, which is contrary to what she had said about her
previous residence. The staff are always around and attentive, with a friendly warm demeanour. The home is very clean and fresh feeling, with lots of various activities for residents to participate in should they choose, but they are never under any pressure should they choose not to. I would say it is just gentle encouragement they get, which is perfect, thus giving them the freedom they deserve to make choices.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a very unsettling time for my mum following a fall and a few admittances to hospital and then to another care home before being admitted to Ochil, I am very pleased with how things are going at Ochil. My mum has been there for approx 5 weeks now and she is settling in really well. The staff are
great and have a good sense of humour. They all seem to have the right manner with the residents and know how to handle situations. The home is clean and in general, has a good feel to it. It has a lovely big lounge downstairs which we often take mum down to at the weekends and there is tea/coffee and home baking that you can help yourself to. This allows for a more relaxed visit and gets mum out of her room. The staff encourage the residents to join in with any entertainment which is on. Recently they had therapy ponies in which my mum loved. Mum always remarks on how good the food is and that there is plenty of it.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Choosing the right care home for a loved one is an emotional journey, I thank my lucky stars that I contacted the manager at Ochil Care Home in August of this year.
That initial first contact with the manager restored my faith in human nature, she was kind and supportive, offering us a visit the next
day to check out the suitability of the home for my mum.
The communal space was delightful as were the staff I met on that initial visit, an immediate decision was made to take the room that was available.
My mum is now settled, safe and secure in the care of the Ochil staff, she enjoys regular activities and visits to the hairdresser.
If you are looking for a nursing home for someone you love, do not despair there are good homes out there, Ochil being one of them.

My mother was admitted to Ochil Care Home in May 2019 and has settled in very well. She has a lovely room with private bathroom. The staff are so friendly and look after my mother with care and compassion.
The family especially like the warm and welcoming Reception and all areas leading from it with
particular mention to the lovely lounge which opens out to a calm and peaceful garden.
The family feel our mother is being well cared for and this has led to a less stressful time for all.
We thank you for this.

My elderly mother moved into Ochil Care Home in April 2019 and from day one, she has said how happy she is and that she feels very well looked after. I have observed how consistently kind the staff are to my mother. The level of care is excellent, carers are so gentle, cheerful and respectful of her
dignity. This is clearly a well-run care home, organised around a core, professional ethic which facilitates the happiness and well- being of the residents. All family members and friends who have visited my mother have commented on the welcoming and happy ambience at Ochil Care home. The communal sitting rooms are spacious, smartly furnished, clean and bright with plenty of light. Ochil Care home is perhaps best summed up in my mother's words, 'You couldn't want better staff'.

Review from Fiona (Respite Resident) published on 4 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was at Ochil for a respite week in Sept 2018. The staff made me feel very welcome - I settled in easily. I was in a great room with good furnishings, including plenty of drawers of varying sizes plus a wardrobe and internal shelving - all very useful. Being a wheelchair user, using the sink in the
bathroom was not really possible, so after a few days washing in a bowl at the table, I realised that I could be washing in the bathroom down the corridor. With this knowledge when I go back next time, I’ll know what suits me best.
The location was very convenient for my visitors. I really enjoyed the activities I attended - because I had visitors, I couldn’t attend all the activities in the week.
The food etc is excellent with lots of choices - more than I eat normally but smaller portions can be asked for.
I was very happy at Ochil for the respite week and felt relaxed/de-stressed. After the week, I got home with Ochil’s transport which was very convenient and comfortable trip.
Thank you.

My family were very nervous about putting my dad in a home. We decided to attend Barchester Ochil Care Home open day. From the very beginning, we were made to feel very welcome and the home itself had a lovely homely feel to it. We knew right away that this is where we would like my dad to live as we
could no longer care for his needs because of his dementia. The staff are amazing and very very helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father recently moved from a Carehome outside of Perth to Ochil View in July. He had been there for more than ten years and moved since the death of his wife last December. I was concerned about how the move would affect my father who is very frail, has dementia and other long-term illnesses.
I
cannot praise the manager and her team highly enough. They made us feel very welcome, encouraged us to visit the Carehome, asked questions and provided genuine professional and caring support, fully answering all questions with openness and honesty. The transfer was very professional and focused on my father's comfort and assurance. It is not easy to get to know a person's individual needs but the team at Ochil take a personal interest in my father's care, well being and happiness. Recently, he had an infection and was taken into hospital but due to the caring of the staff in taking prompt and professional action, my father only had to spend a few days in hospital. Very pleased with Ochil.

My mother received excellent care from all the staff. The nurses were very caring and handled every situation concerning my mum's specific needs with kindness and professionalism. I was very impressed with how all the staff cared for my mum and were efficient, caring and supportive of the whole family.
The home was well organised, clean and tidy and had a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere which was perfect for mum after a prolonged stay in hospital. We were able to art-furnish mum's room with her personal effects and she was comfortable in her surroundings and enjoyed the well thought out menu. As a family, we felt that every concern was listened to and acted upon positively. We were very impressed with how quickly and well the staff go to know my mum and enjoy her personality, that was something very important for her and for us. Sadly, my mum passed away and there was a real sense of caring amongst all of the staff. The home provides excellent value for money. Overall, my mum was treated with kindness, respect, dignity and professional care in the last stages of her life and for that, we cannot thank the staff enough.

My father was made very welcome when he decided to leave his home and move into Ochil Care Home. He has settled well. He enjoys the daily activities available and enjoys the company. The activities vary but are stimulating. He has been well cared for and episodes of illness have been coped with well
by the staff. Large areas of the home have been recently refurbished and are very pleasant.

A few months ago dad was moved to Ochil Care Home in Perth and the difference in him is simply outstanding!


Dad is very comfortable here, there is a reciprocal adoration from the staff to him and back again. He is involved now in trips out, meeting new members of staff and other residents and other

activities that help to entertain him.


The staff are excellent here, selfless, thoughtful and complimentary to the residents.
The decor is very pleasing to the eye, there are complimentary nibbles and drinks for visitors and reading material to hand.
The gardens are well maintained and have a nice selection of blooming flowers and trees.
I cannot truly comment on the food as I don't eat it but dad assures me there is a great selection and great, tasty quality.

After seven years, I am confident that my husband is getting the best care. The residents are treated with utmost respect and not looked upon as just a room number. The carers are kind and friendly and are usually heard happily chatting to him when attending to his needs. There is a TV lounge but Ochill
has another three lounge areas, one opening out to the garden where my husband likes to be for family visits.

When my mum was ready to go into a care home I went to view a few in Perth. My view was at the time Orchil was well sorted, now as my mum has been in Orchil she is so happy. It's well adapted to her needs and the staff are so helpful.
It has a feel as if it is a big family and nothing is too much for
the staff to help out.
It's a good feeling knowing that my mum is in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.348)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.348) out of 10 for Barchester Ochil Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.669 for Barchester Ochil Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 124 Ratings = 4.669
  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 4.679 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Ochil Care Home is based on 11 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.679
  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.
