Unfortunately, my mum had to be admitted to a care home in March this year due to dementia. There was nowhere we considered suitable for her in West Dunbartonshire and thankfully, we were recommended your care home by a friend, which then led us to Mosswood, which was more convenient for family/friends
visiting. We have been so delighted with the exceptional care and attention she had received during the past 6 months. She is now settled and part of the "family" there. Thank you for making a sad situation more bearable.

My mother was cared for in Mosswood for just over a year and received first class care from the day she arrived until the day she died. Indeed, the care of all the staff at the time she was so ill could not be praised highly enough: she was treated with such immense compassion, dignity and respect at
all times.

Mosswood is a very well appointed and organised care home. The facilities are second to none. The staff are excellent and display at all times a very caring attitude towards residents who are all treated with dignity. I have no hesitation in recommending Mosswood as an excellent residential care home.

Overall the care home is a nice environment and very clean. The majority of staff are friendly and capable however recurring issues that have never been satisfactorily resolved affect the rating. The consistency of carer / key worker would also be a benefit.
Steps are currently being taken to resolve
our issues so we are hoping it will improve.

My father in law has been in Mosswood Care home for 3 years now and is well settled and happy. We did a lot of research and visited all the care homes in Renfrewshire before we decided on Mosswood and feel we made the right decision. We find all staff are truly dedicated and the care they provide is
excellent. Very friendly, nothing is to much trouble I cannot praise them enough.

Review from Jim P (Son of Resident) published on 27 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mosswood staff have always appeared to me to be caring and efficient. They communicate well with my father and understand his needs and his personality which allows them to communicate with him in a relaxed manner. Communication between staff and myself are very good - I regularly receive phone calls
giving me an update if my father is feeling poorly etc. The care home is kept very clean. Laundry is carried out regularly - my only small concern is that despite labelling my father's clothes, there have been occasions when clothes have gone missing or he has been wearing clothes that do not belong to him. My father is satisfied with the quality of food provided.


My Mother was also a resident at Mosswood and unfortunately, she passed away 15 months ago at the home- but the care she received in the lead up to her death was excellent.

Reply from Rosie, Marketing at Mosswood Care Home

Thank you for your review Jim. We are delighted that you are pleased with the care your dad receives at Mosswood Care Home. Regarding your father's laundry issue, we have investigated the matter fully and are pleased that you now understand the issue and are happy with the resolution. Thank you.


Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

My mother has been in Mosswood for nearly one year.
The standard of care has been exceptional.
The nursing staff have continued to monitor her deteriorating condition and have altered her care timeously and appropriately.
I have frequently witnessed members of staff displaying a level of care and
consideration to their residents that shows that this home has a desire not only to comply with regulations but to set its own standards well above what is expected.
I have already recommended Mosswood to several people and will continue to do so.

My mother has been in Mosswood Care Home since September 2015. She is extremely content and happy there and very well looked after by staff who are well trained and who treat my mother and all the residents with care, kindness, with dignity and see them as individuals who all have their own needs. When
you visit you are also made so welcome. The home is beautifully appointed, bright, spotlessly clean - meals are taken together with the staff which I think is a great thing. We have nothing but positive comments to make as a family.

My brother and I could not be more satisfied with the care provided to our parents. The staff are engaged and dedicated, and show a high level of professionalism and expertise. When our father was dying, he was treated with such respect and dignity; it made the distressing situation less stressful and
the family feel supported.


The premises are spotlessly clean, bright and cheerful. Activities are plentiful and appropriate and it really does feel like a home from home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care given to my dad during his five months stay until he passed away was of the highest standard. The families experience, especially during dads final days was nothing short of exemplary, from the cook to the carers, cleaners, nurses and management was such that we don't think it possible to have
better care. The facilities are immaculately kept, cleanliness is of the highest order. The staff always were siling and treated dad with dignity and respect. My dad was taken care of in the "Clyde" part of the home.

I am the only living relative apart from her daughter. We were great pals as youngsters. I was so glad when her daughter found this home for my cousin as she now is safe, very comfortable and has company. I have visited several times and each time I have been impressed by the well maintained and comfortable
surroundings and the lovely staff. Unfortunately I live a long way away, a 4 1/2 hour bus journey to get to the home, so I only can visit 4 times a year and always I get a warm welcome and well fed by the staff. I hope I find somewhere as good as this in Dumfries and Galloway when I need it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After looking after my mum for two and half years (long distance) and determined not to allow her to go into a care home, convinced she would hate it, and I would be forever with a guilty conscience, nobody could have prepared me for how quickly she settled in, and started enjoying herself, and mixing
with all the residents, carers and staff.
Carers and Staff; I have never seen so much care and genuine dedication, and know it was the right decision to put my mum in all your capable hands. You have all become like and extended family to me too!

Review from Joanna B (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved to Mosswood in April 2015 following a lengthy period of NHS care; we were apprehensive about a move but have been delighted with the high quality of the care she has received since her move. The design of the home has used the latest guidance to ensure it provides a safe and secure
environment for residents with dementia and challenging behaviour and my mother has been much calmer and settled as a result.
There is lots of space with a range of sitting areas. The staff are excellent and very caring to all the residents and work hard to ensure care is individualised for each resident. They are also supportive of family and carers - this was the first time in a long time I was asked how I was by a member of care staff - they are welcoming and offer tea and coffee to visitors!
My mum looks well cared for and has also had the opportunity to go out on appropriate activities which did not happen whilst she was in NHS care. After a very difficult time we feel mum now has a much improved quality of life and a level of contentment she has not had for some time and this is very much due to the care she is now receiving. My mum's sister lives 200 miles away and visited her in Mosswood for the first time recently; she was very happy to see mum looking so much more like herself and the quality of the accommodation at Mosswood.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Mosswood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.944 for Mosswood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Mosswood Care Home is based on 17 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
