We are extremely happy with the care and service provided to our mum by Liberton Care Home. The staff are very caring and active with the residents and it is a comfort to know that she is being looked after by such kind, attentive, professional people. The atmosphere in the home is one of positivity
from the manager, through to the nursing staff, catering, activities team and cleaners. It is also a beautiful, clean, spacious, modern building for families to visit and this is very important. We had no idea such an amazing place existed before we had to find a residential place for mum, and Liberton Brae has been a true revelation.

Care homes are not places that most people think about until you have to deal with one - I certainly didn't.
The staff and management of Liberton Brae provide a high level of service and are helpful, caring and attentive. They deliver a high level of care and compassion in what are often difficult
circumstances.
Thoroughly recommended.

We are very happy with Liberton Brae Care Home thanks to its great staff, lovely facilities, spaciousness and location. It is a light, bright and airy accommodation thanks to its many windows, as well as being warm and comfortable. The roof garden is a lovely addition in the sunshine. Cleanliness
is of a very high standard and menus are given thoughtful consideration. Staff are welcoming and do their best to get to know both the individual residents and also their families. Weekly newsletters help to keep everyone informed. The Activities Team make a real effort and difference to the overall environment. Regular entertainment takes place and outdoor trips happen when possible. The whole team are always very approachable and willing to help and families are always made to feel very welcome. Overall, we would definitely recommend comings to Liberton Brae Care Home.

Can't praise this Care Home highly enough. All staff we have encountered treat resident's with the utmost care and respect. Everyone from the managerial team ,nursing team, to caterers ,cleaners, laundry and activity team create a fun friendly environment. We are always made to feel welcome and involved
in our mothers Care. Mum enjoys being pampered in the Hair Salon and participating in the numerous activity offerings .We regularly pop in for a coffee to the Bistro and make good use of The Snoozy Snug. She recently enjoyed a Canal Boat trip and thoroughly enjoyed the experience .

Mum entered Liberton Brae nursing care home shortly after it had opened and since she moved there we have been highly impressed with :
1. The standard & quality of care she has received and the personal care she has received. Staff and leadership know her well and make every effort to listen to her
and provide the best care for her .
2. How leadership has a clear shared development plan and consequently put excellent systems and efficient , caring staff in place improvements to every aspect of care take place
3. How well staff and management listen to feedback / requests from focus groups and relatives and subsequently put into motion new ideas , activities , facilities such.
4. Efficiency of communication in all aspects of medical care and great organised of varied events .

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother is well settled in the care home. Her dementia has worsened over the last year so she is less able to take part in activities and is frequently tired but enjoys the ones she participates in. There are lots of things going on in and out the care home run by a very enthusiastic team who seem
to know the residents well. Recently a team member has kindly made a playlist for Mum sent by my brother and myself and installed it on her music provider for when she is in her room. Mum is often awake at night making her tired in the morning and her needs for rest are taken on board. My brother and myself are always kept up to date with any changes and are very happy with the care provided at Liberton Brae.

We cannot recommend this care home highly enough, there is not a single category where we feel there is any room for improvement. The care and support, the staff and management, the communications and facilities are all quite excellent and we are delighted and comforted to know that our family member
is being treated with such dignity, compassion and professionalism.

My only concern is Bobbys Bar cleanliness could be improved. The tables and floor could be cleaner (more regular) lack of cleaning fluids and clean dish towels. Otherwise, this is a fantastic facility within the home which we use most days.

My mother has been a resident at Liberton Care Home since Jan 2025. The standard of care is extremely good and the modern spacious rooms are very pleasant and comfortable. The staff are very approachable and supportive not only to our mother but the whole family. I feel like we work together with
one goal to support our mum.
The activities team work very hard to keep residents moving and having fun as much as is possible.
I would definitely recommend Liberton Care Home as a caring, comfortable place for people to live or have respite care.
The home is very clean and mums rooms is spacious, always fresh with a beautiful outlook over the city.

I wanted to review this care home as I feel it deserves a positive review. The staff are amazing and very attentive to the residents. The place is spotless and welcoming. The residents are out of bed every day and have access to emergency buzzers, in my experience this is not always the case.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Liberton Brae 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.858 for Liberton Brae is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 352 Ratings = 4.858
  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 Liberton Brae is based on 30 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 30 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.
