Review from Carol B (Wife of Resident) published on 9 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been cared for in Kirk Lane Nursing Home for two and a half years. The care is of the highest standard and I feel the staff care for him in a loving way - not just doing things in a dutiful way. This makes me feel at ease with him having to be looked after 24/7 as opposed to me struggling
on my own. The manager said "this is your home too" so I can visit any time, help with his care if I want to and receive emotional support when I need it. Overall, the best decision I've made regarding his care.
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home

It is so good to hear that you feel the care is of the highest standard for your husband, and provides you with peace of mind and also support when you need it. Many thanks for your feedback here. Best wishes.

My mum has been living at Kirk Lane for almost 3 years and receives excellent care. The home is lovely with a very homely feel and several small dining rooms and lounges for each floor. From the moment you walk in everyone is so friendly and helpful and nothing is a bother to them. The nursing team
and carers are excellent and I feel so reassured that my Mum is being very well cared for by all of them. The reception team are so friendly and helpful as are the maintenance team. The kitchen team are also very friendly and recently made my Mum a most beautiful cake for her birthday. I often visit with my young children and they are always made to feel so welcome and fussed over. The garden area is a great wee haven and so well maintained. The activities team are fantastic they're always so patient, up beat and full of fun. The regular mini bus trips are also great. My mum has dementia and it's such a huge relief to know she's happy, settled, very well cared for & with people around her.

Thank you so much for leaving such good feedback regarding the care for your mum. It is so pleasing to hear that you are impressed with the environment and welcome, and you feel so reassured by the care. The staff will be so happy to hear your thoughts. Best wishes.

The staff are mostly very good and keep me apprised of how my Dad is doing. We try and see him on a weekly basis. There have been times when Dad was not wearing his hearing aids and some have gone missing. Hopefully moving forward, staff can keep better track of where Dad's hearing aids are (sometimes
he puts them in his pocket). On the main a great service.
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home

Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to pass this to the management team. It is good to hear though that, in the main, you are pleased with the service for your Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
March 2025 marked three years since my mum moved into Kirklane Nursing Home, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. The moment you step into the entrance, which has a lovely hotel-like feel, you immediately sense a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My mum's room is consistently bright, airy, and
clean, contributing to her comfort.
The staff are outstanding. Both the carers and nursing team are incredibly attentive and responsive; truly, nothing is too much trouble for them. I particularly value how well I'm kept up to date on my mum's condition, giving me peace of mind that she is always in safe and capable hands. As her condition has progressed, the Kirklane team has shown remarkable flexibility and proactivity, keen to adapt their systems to provide the best possible care for her evolving needs.
The activity coordinators are fantastic. A special mention goes to one staff member in particular who established an early and strong connection with my mum, ensuring she always feels included, we love her!
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home

The staff team at Kirk Lane are wonderful. My father in law has been a resident for more than three years now and so many of the staff have been here for all of that time and treat him as if he were a member of their family which means so much to us. The facilities at Kirk Lane are excellent too and
we love the terrace upstairs now that my FIL is less able to visit the garden (which he has always enjoyed). Highly recommended.

Review from Horst R (Son of Resident) published on 4 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are really friendly (like a new family), approachable, attentive, professional and get the impression that nothing is too much.
There are plenty of activities during each week, including use of coach to take regular trips out which my Mum enjoys.
Witnessed the use of the function room that had
a small orchestra playing delightful music. Also can be used as a cinema room and other activities.
Maintained garden with path and benches is relaxing and peaceful.
Like all aspects of this nursing home, the spacious bedrooms are of high standard and we could add our own furniture and pictures (Maintenance Team were really helpful in hanging up pictures, which was a welcome surprise).
In summary, a place that gives me peace of mind for my Mum's health, wellbeing and comfort. This nursing home should be the benchmark for all nursing homes, and if someday I had to be looked after, then I would want to move here.
Thank you to all at Kirk Lane for all that you do.

It's such a joy when you enter Kirk Lane from Reception onwards. The staff treats residents and visitors as part of a big family. The manager and all staff are incredible for the care and attention they give to the needs of each resident. The rooms are bright and comfortable with en suite. The garden
is a haven for peace and tranquillity but also for the great activities it provides. Words can't describe how happy and appreciative our family feels to have our dear one is such a lovely place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kirk Lane is a nursing home like no other. It is headed by a management team who are forward-thinking and vibrant with an exciting agenda. The residents are offered the usual activities along with more cultural events. At 87 years I have spent my adult life wanting to play chess and after a few months
in Kirk Lane I enjoy a regular game. The gardens are beautiful. It is so peaceful and the gentle movement of the water filter for the fish pond (which the 2 maintenance gents built) is very relaxing. There is always a buzz around the home. There are so many sections at work - nursing and care staff, kitchen and laundry, and activities who really have come into their own along with reception, hairdressing and administration. Inclusion is the operative word. When clients come into the home for respite everyone goes that extra mile to ensure their stay is enjoyable. I am settled at Kirk Lane and the quality of the care takes the pressure off my family and I know I will be looked after.
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home

We are delighted to hear your review, and that you feel settled and well cared for. All teams work so hard to create new activities and an upbeat environment where people thrive and are all included. It is good to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from all of this. Well done and good luck with the chess!

This is an outstanding nursing home in every way. My mother was cared for after 18 months and absolutely thrived after almost passing away in hospital from the deadly RSV virus. Particular mention must be made with three key points - 1- Consistently outstanding staff. 2- Excellent and carefully tailored
nutrition. 3- Outstanding condition looked after by skilled maintenance team.

My dad was a resident for 15 months and received outstanding care during this time. There was a noticeable improvement in his condition when he moved in and I had peace of mind that he was being well cared for in a safe environment. The staff are amazing and genuinely appear to love what they do. We
had frequent review meetings and my dad and I always felt listened to and that our feedback was actioned. There is a great selection of food with tea and cakes served between meals. I was always offered treats and encouraged to help myself from the kitchen. The homemade birthday cakes are a lovely touch and of course delicious! The activities team do an amazing job making sure there is something for everyone. There are plenty of bus trips and excursions, regular visits from therapy animals, and plenty of outside events in the garden during the summer. I highly recommend Kirk Lane and can’t thank the staff enough for taking such exceptional care of my dad.

Wonderful home with an excellent level of care. The activity program here is wonderful with many varied levels for all resident's capabilities. The rooms are well-equipped to meet the individual needs. The carers within the home are so nice and Mum adores them. They go over and above for the residents.
Day trips are offered most weeks for those wanting a day out. There are often entertainment days with singers etc, which the residents love. BBQ's are a thing Mum loves and this happens often. Overall, excellent place.

Over the past month, my mother's health has been poorly and she has had problems eating and had a chest infection. During this period, the care staff, nursing staff and local GP have been excellent in providing the excellent care and support that my mum was requiring. Her health, at 93, will not improve,
however, the home have just put in a new bed to stop my mum from getting bed sores and I was exceptionally pleased that they have done this to provide more excellent care for Mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing a nursing home for my father was a bit of a daunting experience, as we hadn't had to do anything like this before, however, as soon as I visited Kirk Lane Nursing Home, it just felt right. The building is new and both the interior and exterior are immaculate. The rooms are spacious and well
equipped, with lovely en-suite facilities in every room. The secure enclosed gardens offer facilities to enjoy a BBQ or just to sit enjoying the surroundings and fresh air. Great facilities are good and well, however, the calibre of staff is the main thing which makes this home outstanding. All the staff are so friendly and engaging, both with residents and visitors. Having the ability to visit at any time means that it wouldn't be possible to project a front just at visiting time. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone looking for a home from home for their loved ones.

We understand just how daunting the experience can be to choose a nursing home and we are therefore so pleased that you found the support and facilities that you need for your father.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Kirk Lane 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.935 for Kirk Lane Home is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.935
  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 Kirk Lane Home 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.
