I am a retired OT with over 30yrs experience & have high expectations of care needs for our clients. My mother has been awaiting a POC for 4 months then had a fall requiring hospital admission then the assessment identified she required 24hr care. I have found this very difficult especially as mum has
been unhappy with me & wants to be independent. I know that a POC & I cannot meet my mum's needs but the care home team can & provide a level of support, care & socialisation that is enabling mum to regain her confidence, sense of self & flourish. The team have been amazing with mum & her face lights up when she sees any of them, they have been so supportive of me & listened when I'm struggling.

Staff are outstandingly kind and helpful - not just with my mother but all the family too. They were particularly helpful during a difficult transition period for my mother. During a recent visit from an overseas relative and new great grandson they put together a delicious tea so my mother could entertain
the family in one of their private living rooms - my mother very happy to be able to host the family in this way. Would highly recommend.

Our family are delighted with all of the help that Barchester Queens Manor Care Home has given our mum. She has thrived dramatically since arriving in June. This has been due to the personal care and attention given to her by all of the staff. We are so pleased that she has got her sparkle back.
The
admin assistant, in particular, was a breath of fresh air when we needed help most and she has continued to be a positive influence for Mum and all of her visitors.

My mum is a resident of Barchester Queens Manor in Edinburgh. She tried respite at other care homes and really, really didn't like them. Queens Manor is a qualitative step up from those other homes.
The home is not too big, and there doesn't appear to be a high turnover of staff, so residents have
the time to form meaningful relationships with individual members of staff.
Time and care are given to residents' individual needs and wants. My mum has been encouraged to bring things from her family home to make her new room her own. When my mum had a tumble, appropriate care and due thought were given before contacting emergency services. Despite the mess she left behind, her room was spotless when she got back there the next day.
Mum's been there for almost 6 months, and there's been no real issues at all during that time.

My gran has been living at Barchester Queens Manor Care Home for two years now and it is nothing short of excellent. The attention to detail, commitment of staff and care given is second to none. We attended their event on Saturday and it was amazing. The event brought great memories back for my gran

I attended the Queens Manor Fringe festival with my family, what a great day for everyone! My gran loved everything that was going on from the street act, canapes, cocktail bar and Jazz band. It was all lovely and well organised. Staff always go above and beyond at Queens Manor and they are all amazing.

My mum enjoyed the recent Fringe event where a wonderful jazz singer performed songs from the past. The host was witty and welcoming and the singer was accompanied by 2 excellent musicians. The home had gone out of its way to organise an entertaining afternoon with drinks and homemade snacks.
My mum
is a fairly recent resident and, as a dementia patient, lives on the first floor. Initially, she took part in some activities and was included in 2 outings which she enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, she doesn't always realise what is on offer and relies on family or members of staff to encourage her to participate.
Otherwise, we have been very happy with the care my mum is receiving and appreciate the hard-working staff and the care they give to the residents.

She wasn't getting enough social interaction at home and Queens Manor is a hive of activity with something always going on. Their recent Fringe Event was great and offered something for everyone.

This is a wonderful care home for anyone considering becoming a resident. The facilities are quite unmatched making it a clear front-runner when looking into options in and around Edinburgh. What really stands out is the level of care and attention given by each department.
They seem to be very inclusive
when considering meal options, activities, and level of care.
Would absolutely recommend going for a look around and speaking to the team if you are interested in this location.

I see all the staff working together for the residents, whether it be the everyday get-together or in memory lane.
Respect and dignity are very much a high priority for each and every resident.
Commitment to quality of care, as there is a resident questionnaire and discussion group weekly.
Compassion
and improving lives, I personally agree and witness - lots of opportunities for events happening. With the care that is taken with our loved ones overspills to the family members, we feel overwhelmed with the fact that we are as one and kept informed frequently. This is a very high standard of care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Barchester Queens Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.931 for Barchester Queens Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.931

  • b) 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 Barchester Queens Manor Care Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

My role is to ensure that all of the residents are receiving the care and service that they deserve – this ranges from personal care to lifestyle choices. Having worked in care settings for over 17 years, I bring with me a wealth of knowledge to ensure that expectations are not only met, but exceeded.


One of my favourite parts of working at Queens Manor is definitely talking to the residents and hearing about their life stories – It is truly amazing to hear everyone’s backgrounds and different spiritual, cultural and professional travels.


I always say choose a job you love & you will never work a day in your life, and this very much remains true for my role at Queens Manor.
