Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been in this care home for over a year. The staff are generally friendly, helpful, compassionate and caring to Mum and to other residents whom I observe being cared for. Her room and bathroom are of a good size with lots of her own items surrounding her which is important. The food isn't
always to Mum's taste but this can happen as everyone has different tastes. The activities have taken a while to get off the ground but hopefully, this will improve-staff changes are the main reason for this.

My mother moved to Bridge of Weir from hospital. She wanted some TLC and that's what she got. Sadly she was only there for 2 weeks before she passed but those 2 weeks provided lovely quality time with Mum in beautiful surroundings surrounded by caring and friendly staff. In 2 short weeks, she grew close
to them and was happy and relaxed. I couldn't have wished more for Mum to spend her last weeks in Morar providing me with special memories of our time together.
Reply from Kirsty Summers, Resident Relations Manager at Bridge of Weir

Thank you very much for the lovely feedback, I will be sure to pass this on to our team at Bridge of Weir.
We are so delighted that mum had a lovely stay with us and that you were able to enjoy the special times with her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I feel it is very important to write this review. Our mum had been a resident at Bridge of Weir Care Home since September 2021. We knew Mum was enjoying her new home and blossomed. Mum was involved in numerous activities which were encouraged. Mum was 96 years young and was always ready to give something
a go. Every time we visited, Mum gave us an update on what they had all been up to and the many laughs that they had. Mum also made lovely friends with other residents. After Mum returned from three weeks in hospital, the staff, as always, were beyond fantastic with her and her care. During Mum's last few days, my brother and I sat with Mum and we experienced first-hand the care, love and professionalism of all the staff, what we saw exceeded all our expectations, thank you. Sadly, Mum passed away on Sunday. We cannot thank the staff enough for everything that was done for Mum and for making her so happy.

Thank you from myself and the team from Bridge of Weir for the positive review of our service. In particular, the recognition for the staff, demonstrating their professionalism, commitment and hard work. Mum will be sadly missed.

On our endeavour to find a nursing home for our mum, we visited and were most impressed by Morar Living. The manager was super efficient and left us totally in awe of her and her staff. In just two weeks of Mum being a resident, she has a much better quality of life. The staff are so attentive and have
even had her up and dressed and integrating with the other residents. Her end-of-life care has been phenomenal! We cannot rate the staff highly enough.
Reply from Karen Armstrong, Care home manager at Bridge of Weir

Louise, thank you for your lovely review. The team are very pleased Mum is making good progress at Bridge of Weir. May she continue to thrive and enjoy life at our lovely home.

Review from Ian A (Son of Resident) published on 26 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During December 2022 my 96-year-old mother was admitted to hospital from the home suffering from flu and spent three weeks in hospital. As a result of staffing issues, hospital staff were unable to provide the personal care my mother required, particularly assistance with her meals and she went downhill
fast. As a result, I pressured for her release and return to the home. Since her return, the staff have been exceptional in the care they have provided and my mother's strength has improved immensely. I can't thank everyone enough for giving our mother back to us, as I firmly believe she would not have survived had she not returned to the home when she did.
Reply from Karen Armstrong, Care home manager at Bridge of Weir

We are very happy to have our lovely lady back at Bridge of Weir. Thank you for the lovely feedback regarding the care Mum received on her return. We are very pleased she is making progress.

My aunt was in failing health. The staff communicated regularly with me and the GP. She was supported to receive visits from her friends and also supported to eat in her room or with others in the dining room - her choice. My aunt and her carers clearly had a good relationship and I always felt she
was treated with respect and dignity. Communication with me was excellent at the end of her life and I felt supported.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback regarding your aunt's stay at Bridge of Weir. We are delighted to hear that she had such a positive experience and that you felt so supported. I will pass this on to our wonderful team. Thank you.

A welcoming and calm atmosphere. Staff are pleasant with positive and helpful attitudes. More Parking! Would suggest comfortable garden chairs on the balcony and more specious, colourful garden grounds would be an asset.

Review from Maria R (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My artist father is very happy in his new home at Morar. Nothing is too much trouble for the friendly, professional staff, who have done so much for him already. For example, he was encouraged to have his treasured oil paintings in his room with him, hung by the staff, which has helped replicate the
same ambience as home and create a comforting and familiar atmosphere for him, instantly. This is hugely important for him and has allowed him to settle in within a week. He is enjoying having so many friendly faces about and staff pop in to talk and look at his work, as well as look after him, when required. The staff genuinely care about him already and are spending time getting to know him, listening to his stories and including him in the activity classes, which he enjoys. The standard of care is exemplary and the facilities are luxurious. Thank goodness we found Morar, for this stage of his life.
Reply from Kirsty Summers, Resident Relations Manager at Bridge of Weir

Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback, Maria. We are delighted that your father has settled in so well and we love having him with us. Should you ever need anything please let us know. Thank you.

We selected Morar Living, Bridge of Weir for respite care for my husband as they made us feel reassured that they could meet his needs. The home was lovely and fresh. The staff were very friendly and would engage in conversation and fill me in on what my husband had been doing and anything he needed.
Lots going on to entertain the residents. Fantastic experience and one that we will use again.

Review from Alison C (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
While we and Dad would rather that he had been able to continue looking after himself, I do feel that we have made the best choice for him in picking Morar. The home itself is lovely. Dad has a spacious room and when you visit, there are stylish but homely private lounges to sit and chat in, along with
a family kitchen to make yourself a drink. The most important thing to us though are the staff. They all seem very friendly and caring. Last weekend, Dad was with us for the day and when we were leaving after taking him back in the evening, a staff member came up to say goodbye to us and said she would go and have a cup of tea with him and hear all about his day. Dad isn’t too interested in joining in group activities yet, so this sort of individual attention means the world to us. The manager is approachable and friendly and gives you confidence that the place is well managed.
Reply from Liz Campbell, Care Home Manager at Bridge of Weir

Hi Alison, thank you for your review. Your dad is definitely his 'own man' and continues to join in activities when and if he feels like it. We will never pressure him to join in, but we know he certainly enjoys one to one time with the staff and enjoys each and every visit with his family. Stay safe.

I am very pleased with the level of care my mother is receiving. The staff are very caring and friendly and want to help in any way they can. The care home itself is brand new so it is very modern, clean, and fresh. It is very well designed for elderly residents. The manager is excellent and is always
available to answer any questions you may have. There is a cinema within the facility plus a lovely hair salon for residents to have their hair done! The activities director always has fun events planned each week, so there is always plenty going on to keep the residents busy.

The care my mother has received at Morar’s Bridge of Weir Hotel, sorry, Home, confounds the impressions one has of care facilities.


Compassionate, attentive, never rushed, and deeply sympathetic to the needs of family members and friends, the team behind this home are real people who care.


The

setting is nice, the village a nice distraction, and the location is great for the airport and the city beyond.


A real home.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.333)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.333) out of 10 for Bridge of Weir is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.387 for Bridge of Weir is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (19 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.387
  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 4.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bridge of Weir is based on 14 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.946
  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.
