Viewlands House care home is a listed building in landscaped gardens close to Perth city in Scotland.

Staff are available 24 hours a day and an alarm call system is fitted throughout the house to gives residents peace of mind. If nursing care is required this can be given by the qualified staff.

All bedrooms in the house have en-suite shower facilities. Each room reflects the taste and wishes of individual residents because they are encouraged to bring their own items of furniture. Television and telephone points are provided in each room for use with the resident's own equipment.

A lounge and a conservatory offer residents the chance to get together with other residents and meet their friends and family.

Family and friends may join a resident for lunch and evening meals.

As well as a range of activities, a hairdresser visits twice a week and the salon can also be used by residents who prefer to keep their own hairdresser.

Review from F D (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was at Viewlands House until May 2017. He was extremely well cared for, with a lovely big sunny room. Always treated with dignity. He had vascular dementia. My mother has now gone to Viewlands - went in April. She also has vascular dementia. We, as a family, are extremely grateful for the
patience and loving care being shown to her. We have personally seen how dire other homes in the area can be. Would thoroughly recommend this home.

Review from KJ L (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Viewlands House in Perth have simply transformed both my parents’ late years. The staff team provide an amazing blend of what is required: everyday clinical, professional, practical help, in context of what makes up the invisible but vital ingredients of relational, emotional, social support.
Even my very independently-minded mother now says, ‘this is home.’ Simply stand in the bright, sparkling clean hallway; see fresh flowers; hear laughter. It's a good place.


The staff really understand how to support individuals and maintain respect for their dignity and right to choices. The staff somehow see through what I might assume as a ‘failings’ instead, they play to the strengths, however, limited, of the older person. The range of social events, trips and visits brings community into Viewlands; as well as Viewlands being a community itself. I have learned much from the staff about what care really means. As a family, we are always welcomed, consulted, listened to.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Viewlands House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.823 for Viewlands House is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.823
  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 Viewlands House 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
