My mam seems really happy. It's taken a lot of pressure off me to know that she is being looked after. All the staff are lovely and friendly. The valentines date my mam had was lovely. I am happy with everything, the food could be a bit better and warmer

So pleased to have our mam living in Grampian Court where we know she is being well looked after and safe. The staff are kind, caring and approachable. Mam has been a resident for 20 months and continues to be happy there. The standards are very high and feels more like a hotel than a care home. There
are lots of activities and food is very good. Any queries are always dealt with efficiently. I would highly recommend Grampian. Excellent care home!

My aunt has resided at Grampian Court Care Home for approx 2 years. I could not praise the staff (ALL STAFF) highly enough. They very quickly got to know my aunt and established excellent rapport with her. I know all people are different but they seem to very quickly grasp the way to help her without
her losing her dignity (very important for a proud 95 year old) Would consider staff to be 'friends' now.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had absolutely no complaints since Mum has been here. The carers and other staff are wonderful, caring, supportive & thoughtful and go out of their way to help Mum. The only thing I would change is Mum's carpet, it has stains from a previous client. There is always something going on for the
residents. The Summer festival was wonderful. We are only just starting our journey of self funding and it has been a shock to us the cost of self funding care.
The home and office have been excellent in supporting us.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Grampian Court Care HomeThank you for your lovely review, we value all feedback as it helps us to make improvements where required and we will share your kind words with the team. Regarding Mum"s carpet a change has been requested and should be fitted very soon. Thank you, once again, for your kind words.

Very impressed with care given to my sister. Staff are always kind & considerate wth a great understanding of her condition - Dementia. Staff are very respectful. Having worked as a district nurse and also a nurse in charge of a local home Grampian Court rates 5 stars to me. Food served is of a very
high standard. Laundry always freshly washed & ironed & rooms always clean. Excellent in my opinion. Activities for residents organised very well, always a fun day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Grampian Court 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.859 for Grampian Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 369 Ratings = 4.859
  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 Grampian Court Care Home is based on 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 31 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.
