My aunt has come on in leaps and bounds since the end of December/January. She loves it. She grumbles about things sometimes but shes loving having people to talk to. My aunt is knitting again, playing games and doing quizes. She loves her room and her carers and deputy manager. She's had trips out
to the shops and hairdressers. I personally feel really welcome when I visit and I'm invited to join in, have tea etc. I'm so relieved she's safe and cosy.

An outstanding care home that my dad fondly refers to as his residential village. Residents and staff are really friendly, caring and always at hand. Facilities are excellent with amazing scenic views throughout and a range of activities all the residents can enjoy.

I have three sisters and we all visit mum on a regular basis. We find all staff lovely, kind and very attentive to mum.
Her room is always clean and tidy. Her care is second to none and her food she loves. She did mention that she loves the new activities. Thank you.

Building room and décor are very good. Staff really friendly and helpful.
My mum is looked after very well in the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother has advanced stage dementia and is doubly incontinent. She receives excellent care and is bathed every morning. She always looks clean and well fed and has actually put on weight since being in the home.
My grandmother is unable to recognise myself or her other grandchildren and cannot
pretend to be happy in her environment if this was not the case.
She is content living at the home and genuinely fond of the staff.
I am extremely happy with the care she receives.

I cannot stress enough how brilliant the staff have been with my mother. The staff are so friendly and passionate about their roles it makes the atmosphere in the home very welcoming. The relief I have felt with having a loved one under their care is immense. I speak for not only my family but also
for other residents when I state my satisfaction with the home. I feel the home is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been at Glenabbey many times this month in preparation for a placement for my husband.
The care home is absolutely beautiful. We were greeted by the deputy manager who explained everything to us before serving us with fresh tray bakes and coffee. There was an occupational therapist department
and residents were involved in a group activity when we were there. I’ve never seen such happy staff. No odours, the home was spotless and the rooms all have flat screen TV and beautiful furniture.
A credit to Runwood - beautiful!

This is a very friendly environment. Staff are very caring. Very clean rooms. Very homely. I always feel my mum is happy and very content. Going by Mum it's a nice place she has been in. In fact, she thought she was staying in a posh hotel. Well done to all the workers.

Before mum went into the home I went and had a good look around. I loved it as soon as I saw it. When we brought mum she felt the same about the home and we were delighted.
The staff are so helpful and couldn't do enough for the people, cleaners in the home are fantastic. The staff keep family very
on top of information.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Glenabbey Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 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 16 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 4.624 for Glenabbey Manor is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.624
  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 Glenabbey Manor is based on 16 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
